<p>hey, i<code>m interested in applying for mcgill next yr(i</code>m a junior) i have a few questions, so if anyone could reply, that wud be great!! thanks to all who replied! </p>
<li>my first language is not english. but i still go to an international school. i<code>ve never taken the sat</code> s, so i can<code>t really say, but i don</code>t think i would be able to get a very good score. do toefl scores compensate for bad sat verbal scores? or do they just not care…??would they treat me like a normal U.S applicant since i`m going to an american international school?
2.im japanese and i moved to where i am living about 10mnts ago(from japan), during my sophmore yr. i came to my school in april,so i only had 2mnts of sophmore yr here at the school im going. to top it all off, because of the school system in japan, i literally skipped a grade-i only had those last 2mnts of sophmore yr. and i wasn`t even here for the whole quarter, so my grades were really low..like a C and a D! wud this hurt alot of my chances?? i currently have a 3.9 gpa for my junior yr. wud they look at the improvement? or shud i just give up??! </p>
<li><p>i<code>m not doing full ib, altho my school offers it. i</code>m doing 4 HL IBsubjects and 1 SL subject. is not doing full IB hurting my chances? anything i cud do…?? </p></li>
<li><p>how competitive is admission for internaitonal applicants??</p></li>
