My son just learned that he was accepted to the Music Faculty Programme, so it looks like decisions are starting to come out!

Hello, can you clarify the term U0.? My sons admission notice says IB certification had to submitted. Thank you

Congratulations to your son and you.

U0 is a first year student , freshman .
U1 is a second year student when you declare your major , but some kids awarded U1 standing
By the university on the first year due to AP classes / exams amount . McGill web site has a good explanation. Not sure about IB students .

Congratulations. My D committed, but still has 4 AP to take in May. Results won’t come out in June/July. So no worries.

When is the accepted student tour? We visited in March and he really liked the campus! We realized that even with family and sister there, he had seen very little of MTL and campus. He préfères McGill “vibes” to UoT!

There were 2 accepted student tours . 4/7 and 4/22…but they both booked :nerd_face:

We are not able to book April 20 tour, but my nephew, a McGill alumni, will walk us around. We went for the campus tour back in May 2019, so we have some idea about the campus.

IB Diploma grants U1 standing or “sophomore” status (28-30cr in Faculty of Science).

How do you book accepted student tour? We just booked a regular tour.

They are all booked unfortunately. It was only two dates April 7 and 22 .
We booked a regular tour also

What is the link for the regular tour?

Hey, I’m A U.S. IB student and was wondering if anyone else’s application still says “reviewed - decision pending.” It’s super frustrating since the deadline for committing to a US colleges are May 1 and idk if Mcgill will release their decision before then. It’s been like this 2 months now I think.

Hi! Yes, My son is also a US student who is IB and has been review-decision pending since Feb. He got into one of his other top choices and I think in part because McGill is taking so long (but for other reason too) he has moved on and committed elsewhere. If he does get accepted to McGill, I guess he could always change his mind.

We are in the same boat -RDP since early Feb. We just plan on moving forward with one of the US offers my daughter has as there’s no way of knowing how things will go at McGill. If by some chance she gets accepted at McGill later, we can reconsider then if she wants to at that point. Hardly ideal but nothing else that can be done as far as I can see.
