McGill Decisions Class of 2021 (entering 2017)

@pat2442 did you upload a progress report did it have to be official? I’m just wondering how they would take first quarter grades so I can do it

My first quarter grades were not official. We receive report cards every quarter, but we operate on a semester schedule, but my first grades were accepted.

Ok great! Thanks!

I was accepted today (Monday) to both the Faculty of Science and the Interfaculty, B.A. & Sc. after submitting my first quarter report card last Friday evening. Best of luck to everyone who applied! I hope you all hear good news soon:-)

@dorasmarmy Congratulations! Hoping for a similar decision myself after first semester grades are in :slight_smile:

Do they send you an email if your admissions status was updated or do you just have to check frequently?

I think you just have to check Minerva frequently. I didn’t receive an email when there was a status change.

Do you have to check Minerva for results after submitting interim grades or will they email me?
I know that we won’t get emailed if it changes to “Further Review Required.”

S submitted first quarter grades (which were very strong) a couple of weeks ago. Minerva was updated now requesting second quarter grades…which of course are not released until Jan. 30. Frustrating.

I received an email later that day telling me that a decision had been made and that I should check Minerva, but that was several hours after I was accepted.

Has anyone gotten an entrance scholarship yet? I got accepted 12/6 but nothing shows up on my Minerva account under financial awards, I’m hoping for some $$!

Anyone interested in making an accepted/attending students group?

For those who received a request for first quarter senior grades, after you uploaded them, did your status change from “Further Review Required” to something different? My D uploaded her quarter grades on December 1 but it still says Further Review Required. Not sure if the status should change back to “Ready for Review”,

@Pippin99 Per McGill admissions, the status will stay the same until human hands touches the application again. Unfortunately for my S in spite of a super strong first quarter (which we uploaded) they asked for second quarter grades…which of course aren’t released until the last week of January. Unfortunately, the system is you have to keep checking the status to see if anything changed or if they want more information.

@clairedownie yes. FB?

@SwimmingDad Thanks!

I’d love to join the FB group if there’s one!

@Pippin99 @imgracee Yeah that sounds good! my fb name is the same as my name here :slight_smile:
