They must be doing international students first. I’m a dual citizen and I saw other dual citizens being admitted as well as the French student who just got accepted.]

Canadian students have always received their decisions last due to the emphasis on grade 12 marks.

My status changed to Reviewed - Decision Pending, which is weird. I did not take an ACT/SAT - in CA you couldn’t until recently. But I have a 4.0 unweighted with 5 APs from a rigorous high school. Very discouraging.

When did you submit you self-reported grades?

I am very impressed with the fast respond from McGill. We submit the grade on 1/13 evening PST time and got acceptance today 1/18 for BSc. For B Eng, the status went to Reviewed - Decision Pending. I guess the test score is not high enough to have acceptance in Eng.

I did US Self Reported Grades on 1/1 and then the status changed and Self-Reported mid year grades appeared on the todo list. After some research I hit submit AGAIN on the US Self reported graded on 1/8 and yesterday it changed to Reviewed - Decision Pending. Apparently I should have entered my grade a long time ago for previous years and In progress? It is very confusing!

McGill has posted international fees for the class entering Fall 2022:

Do you apply to one year scholarships? Or student is automatically considered ?

Students are automatically considered for the one-year entrance scholarship so no supplementary application. However, for the Major Entrance scholarship which is the renewable one, there is an individual supplementary application.

Thank you ! We knew about major entrance scholarships as a separate application , but the one year one was a news to me a thanks again !

Woof. Desautels is getting up there.

How long after uploading our mid-year report are we likely to receive a decision?

Many on here report subsequent decisions within days of doing so. That was the case with my son.

What is the general concensus here regarding Mcgiil and pandemic ? I belong to a FB group for parents of international Mcgill students. There were a lot of displeasing parents on how university handled the pademic including isolation/ mental health of the students , and on line classes last year. Its stressful enough to send a child to study to a different country , but with the pandemic now on the way its even more. Hopefully , next year will be better . thank you .
