<p>I just applied for the Ba and BSc program and its strange how they dont require essays. Maybe they'll send me a link to a supplement form to my email soon? </p>
<p>Does anyone know about the McGill admission process?</p>
<p>The web site is very specific about what the requirements are. No essay.</p>
<p>so what the chances of getting admitted for someone with avg sat scores [2100]? with no essay i have one less option of impressing them...</p>
<p>Welcome to Canada. No, seriously. Because all of our universities are public (ie. government funded) and not private (ie. alumni funded), admission is largely based on grades and test scores because it is less selective in that way. Essays are only required for the scholarship application.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about SAT scores for McGill as I'm a Canadian (no SAT required!), but I know that they love it if you've taken IB (or AP I guess). I've heard this from friends who now attend McGill. :)</p>
<p>at Mcgill u dont need stellar sat scores........also since sat is optional for international students, u can judge what their critereon sat for intels wud be ...</p>
<p>How even can u think of 2100 sat 1 as an average sat .... thats ridiculous. its awesome. ......</p>
<p>I still mantain what i always say.... SAT1 beyond certain point gives in little benefit and focuss immediately shifts to other parts of the application......... </p>
<p>for mcgill...factors::</p>
<p>School Record
Class rank
Course taken
Country
Scores( if anygiven)
Extra curriculars </p>
<p>U get thru this .. u r admitted.......
This is based upon their location, ,public status .. government funding and stats of admission...</p>

<p>alos which is better.. mcgill or waterloo.. is there a college in canada better than these 2?</p>
<p>Possibly UofT? Queen's?</p>
<p>u missed the best one ....</p>
<p>1st of all , Mcgill is better than waterloo</p>
<p>and Univ of toronto is equally prestigious which u missed</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>Depends what you are looking for. US and international prestige: McGill, no contest. Intertnational prestige only: also UBC and University of Toronto. Engineering degree: Waterloo. Interesting city: McGill or UBC, avoid any place in Ontario at all cost ;)...</p>
<p>Waterloo is great for engineering + the sciences.</p>
<p>U of Alberta or U of Calgary (where I'm from) are good for oil engineering and oil-related business things. Alberta is the only province in Canada, I believe, to have a surplus this year... and it's because of oil. They like making sure that most of the money pumped into the schools goes towards that. So if you like oil... come here. I know I'm leaving, if that's any hint to the city's social life (ie. there is none). </p>
<p>McGill/UBC/U of T are all pretty big. They have excellent reputations, and for good reason. Also they're all in fantastic cities (personally, I love Montreal and Vancouver more than Toronto). You really can't go wrong with one of these three because you can pretty much do anything you like... they all have an enormous amount of programs and opportunities. </p>
<p>York (Schulich), Queen's, and Western (Ivey School of Business) are the best for business, if you're into that. They're quite prestigious within Canada. I have heard from my friends at McGill, however, that the McGill faculty of management is awesome. </p>
<p>Other schools worthy of consideration: Dalhousie (biggest in the maritimes), U of Victoria (great for education + arts), Carleton/Ottawa (journalism or poli sci), etc... </p>
<p>Have fun with all those apps!</p>
<p>is there any finaid for intels in Canada?</p>
<p>Please. UofT, McGill, UBC, Queens, etc have all lost their prestige.
You don't need anything but grades to get into Canadian universities, showing how completely stupid admissions are. I mean, you could come from a dirt stupid school that hands out 90s and there'd be this guy from some harder school getting a 80, and who would they choose? The stupid school kid.
There's no essay, no interview, no written test; you only submit your grades.</p>
<p>I know this kid who failed Grade 12 but retook it. Did the UofT admissions people even notice? No, cause they let him in.
They're too stupid to see you're from a gifted class so you getting a 75 will be looked over by a 90 from a stupid school. They only look at grades, not even rank or anything.</p>
<p>Your patriotism is misplaced, baseless. I hate Canada: overrated, useless, unproductive, communist. Our university tuition is already rockbottom low, and here we're trying to lower it even more. Umm hello? Tution has a great purpose and it's not just for making evil university people richer and already poor students homeless, as the concept of tuition is always played out to be. >:[</p>
<p>whoa so i may/maynot be surrounded by smart kids in the best university of canada..? k.. that sux..</p>
<p>when i started the application, I haven’t received my SAT scores yet, so I didn’t put my scores down. Do i need to update it on the application(minerva)? and if i do, how? I am seriously stumped by McGill and btw, I just sent in my SAT score reports to mcgill. does this mean I still have to change it? or do i just leave it?
someone help me plzzzzzz
thanksss</p>
