Please share info here when you receive undergraduate admission decisions from McGill. Anyone receive a decision yet?
No…are you a US applicant?
My daughter is a U.S. applicant. She has not heard anything yet except “application ready for review.” Applied in early August.
Nothing yet. Ready for review.
Decisions appear to come out in waves. Those significantly above all minima receive their acceptances first. If you are close to the minima then you may not receive a decision until March. Also you may be asked to submit fall term grades.

I applied mid October. As an overqualified Quebec resident, I’m the kind of candidate they are looking to make offers to right now, so that probably explains why I’m one of the first ones to get in. Good luck to everyone! I was born and raised in Montreal, it’s a pretty cool place
Congrats @thelions !
Already submitted fall term grades.
I am applying to Mining and Materials Engineering with an ACT score of 31 and GPA 3.9. I don’t know how McGill look at the ACT, but if they superstore it, I would have a 33. When do you think I will hear back?
Most US applicants should expect not to receive a decision until mid-year (first semester) transcripts are received by the school.
Congratulations @thelions !
Which faculty did you get accepted into?
@Reevers07 Faculty of Arts
My decision says “Further Review Required,” but I have not received any requests for additional information or anything. Does anyone know what this could mean?
I just got my acceptance e-mail.
From the US.
No IB or AP, but all honors, 3.85 GPA (4.0 aside from freshman year), a lot of extracurriculars (mainly fine arts stuff)
ACT: 33.
Faculty of arts and science.
50 or so hours of volunteer work.
Class rank: 19/324
Good luck everyone!!
@cantusemyname Thanks for the info! Did McGill ask you for you first term grades?
Remember that EC’s and class rank are not considered in admission.
Does anybody know when A-Level students are expected to get their decision?
@klb222 my school operates in trimesters so I just sent my first trimester transcript with my application.
Application status changed today to “Further Review Required” and it listed “Grade 12 interim transcript not received.” Anyone else get that, too?
@klb222 My daughter got this as well. Will upload transcript tonight.
I have this as well, but doesn’t “grade 12 interim transcript” refer to midterm grades, rather than quarter grades?
