I suggest you call or email them to ask. Usually, schools require the final HS transcript but your message refers to a university transcript, so I can see why you are confused.

We are in the same situation. I don’t have other information beyond what I’ve read from previous years. The deadline for Québec applicants was the end of February which was the last group. I would presume that once that last batch of applications has been reviewed, Pending applicants would be updated to an accepted, denied or waitlisted status. But just guessing and it may vary by college. And they could just leave them pending until all spots have been accepted. I would just imagine that the closer it gets to May without update, the less likely it is that the result will be positive.

My portal has been saying “further review required” for months now. IB pred 44/45, ACT 35, international student. I have also submitted my mid-year transcript. I genuinely don’t know what is going on.

My son and I are visiting next week. Any recommendations?
Hi, if I don’t see any scholarship with the offer, then there is no more chance for any entrance scholarship in the future?
hi! i’ve gotten accepted to desautels & the faculty of arts (admitted pending final decisions). However, I can’t seem to find the official letter bearing the McGill crest. Where can I access that?

There will be a hyperlink on the Application and Documentation Status page, just to the right of where it says, “Decision: Admitted Pending Final Results,” The link will say, “View/download decision letter (PDF).” It may take a day or so for the link to appear, as I recall.

Is it possible to transfer from one faculty to another after one year?
According to our tour guide this morning, the answer is yes (possible), although one may encounter various hurdles.
Yes, it is possible but it is competitive. Transferring into Desautels is very difficult.
What do you like about Software Engineering in McGill? Which one you would choose among same/similar majors from U of T and UBC? Is Software Engineering offer in McGill guaranteed or you have to pass certain grades and take required courses in the freshman year?
Just curious if any of the Reviewed Decision Pending folks had had any status updates. My daughter’s app has been in that status since January. She has applied to Arts.
Same, and have been in this status since early Feb (but with faculty of science). We are thinking we will have to treat this similar to a waitlist (though I know it’s a different status) and after March 31, make a decision based on the admits my son has received, and then if McGill does come through, re-evaluate at that time.

That sounds sensible. I think we’ll have to do the same thing. It’s unfortunate but not much that can be done about it.
My DS has also been Reviewed Decision Pending status for weeks now. Based on last year’s threads here on CC we anticipate that it could go past the May 1st deadline and that he will likely have to deposit as another school here is the US and make a decision if and when he gets accepted.

My son was admitted to Arts right away and RDP at Desautels for what feels like forever (1+mo). Will proceed under the assumption that he is not getting in and then respond if/when he does.
Yes, it does seem from former threads that at least some dragged on until post-May 1. What is unclear to me is if there is any potential that a definitive decision is given before May 1… I might call and ask but I doubt they will be able to give me a solid answer.

Let us know if they provide any useful information!
My son is also still wait for decision.
Do you know they give Merit $ for non dual citizen (we are US citizen)?
If not much $, we may forgot it and move on other good US schools.
Anecdotally, one Desautels student was offered a spot as late as August several years ago. He took the spot – 5/1 deposit at another school was forfeit.
