Anyone got into Desautels from Quebec CEGEP?
Will they email admitted students or will the result be solely displayed on Minerva?
It will appear on Minerva then the student will receive an email stating there is an update on MInerva.
Just wanted to post that my child got into Arts and Sciences without fully meeting all the minimums. US student. Accepted to faculty of arts in late December. No extenuating circumstances. They asked for mid term grades for arts and sciences. Her school sent them snail mail. McGill just got them a few days ago.
So she had a solid A- average overall in high school and a 33 on the ACT’s, but she had mostly B+’s in science and math classes, including pre calc and AP calc. So she never had an A- or better in a calc class, which is listed as a minimum. And she only had the A- in 2 of following 3 if you include bio from freshman year.
So maybe this isn’t that unusual, but I wanted people to know that it’s possible to get in without fully meeting or exceeding all the posted minimums.
@nhtigerdad Thank you for sharing, wish we had known that, my DD might have applied for Arts and Science! She was in the exact same situation as yours but we were told it was a hard line. Maybe it is more of a hard line for Engineering and more difficult programs.
I just saw on McGill Newsroom that they are suspending all intake of international students. How is this going to affect us? I am an International living in Canada. Most of the American students don’t need to take a plane to make it to Montreal. Anyone knows more about this?

does trhat mean they’ll stop sending acceptances to international students?
“Additionally, effective March 12, all education institutions are required to suspend intake of new international students until further notice.”
This is extremely ridiculous and unfair. At least they’d better give us back our application fees!
That is a directive from the Quebec governmant. McGill and other Quebec universities are seeking clarification from the government as to what this all means. This is a very unsettled time on both sides of the border. Clarifications will likely come this week.
I emailed the senior manager, and he/she told me that McGill is still accepting International students
Admitted Pending Final Results just now! you?
ARe you an International student?
Hi guys, I really don’t want to be annoying but I’m having a pretty crappy day. Today, my twin sister got accepted to McGill whereas I have been on RDP for more than a month now. We have identical ACT scores (35) and almost identical GPAs. I’ve met all of the minimum scores and I even go to a more rigorous boarding school where I take above AP college electives. I just don’t understand. Anybody else in a situation like this? Anybody have an idea why I’m not considered a competitive applicant?
yes, from Spain with the French baccalaureate
congrates @Juandemallorca !
I’m still on further review required. Had you applied for a major scholarship?
