<p>I have had decent grades throughout high school. Maybe a 3.6 unweighted GPA </p>
<p>Sat I: Math-600 Reading-670 Writing-670</p>
<p>SatII: Math1-480 Literature-550 US History-540</p>
<p>I will have taken a total of 4 AP's upon graduating, with A's and B's in all of them. Plus countless honors.</p>
<p>I know my SATII are abominable but my best friend had died just a few days before, and I was a total mess. Is that something worth calling McGill about and explaining? </p>
<p>Ohh and I applied for the Bachelor of Arts and Science, AND the Faculty of Arts. Do they accept you from one and not the other? </p>
<p>It's my #1 choice, and I was just wondering if it's still worth aiming for. </p>
<p>Realistically, your SAT II scores are very low and I believe they would generally be problematic. Even with SAT 1 scores, they are right at the low/minimum end of the acceptance standard.</p>
<p>And yes, you can be accepted to one school and not the other. In this case, Faculty of Arts is much easier to be accepted into.</p>
<p>Try the ACT if you still can. That way you can waive the SAT II requirement. Score 29+ on the ACT (26+ on each subscore) and then the Faculty of Arts becomes a safety.</p>
<p>I don’t have time to take the ACT now. Assuming my scores stay the same, do I have a chance at all? Like if my recommendations are good and all?</p>
<p>Recs hold very little weight, ECs even less (maybe a little more if waitlisted).</p>
<p>I’m afraid that McGill is a reach… however, if you still want to attend McGill, what you can do at this point is to attend another school, try to get a 3.6+ GPA (3.8+ is best if Arts and Science is still your first choice) at that other school and then attempt to transfer. I gave out these numbers because they were the safety lines for transfer admissions.</p>
