Applied to mcgill faculty of arts early October
Got FRR yesterday, did anyone also get FRR?
That is common. Couple of things: look under “Checklist” and make sure they haven’t asked for something…typically it is first quarter or first semester grades. This is very common for U.S. applicants. If not, then it means they are taking the very top kids (based on GPA and ACT/SAT)…so they have touched your application and it will be looked again on the next round(s). Keep the faith: your numbers are really good for Faculty of Arts. (My son is a U1…same ACT as you but had a lower GPA.) Good luck!
My son, in a US high school, with grades and scores above last year’s minima, just got the same request from the faculty of science. Since they say they look at grades from 10-12th grade and his application went in before he had 1st term grades (ie, the transcript he sent had no 12th grade grades), I assume this is fairly standard.
@millie210 My son is a U1 in the Faculty of Arts. When he applied almost every US student was asked to provide 1st quarter and then first semester grades. For most kids they received a decision fairly quickly after the first semester grades were in. It was slower for kids close to the minima in management as those minima were going up.
I was marked FRR because I waited to submit a piece of my checklist. Now that it’s in, any idea on how long I might have to wait for a decision?
@thomc1 My data is two years old…but it can take between a day and a couple of weeks. The status only changes when a pair of human eyes are on an application. (The process seems very odd coming from the U.S. but it seems to work.)
I also got further review required a few days ago from a US high school. SAT 1500, GPA weighted 4.65, Math II subject test 700 and Spanish subject test 760. They asked for 12th grade grades so I sent my quarter one grades because that’s all I have right now. Fingers crossed! good luck!!
just admitted pending final results!
Congrats, when did u get ur quarter grade in?
do you have access to a link to PDF of official offer? It says there is but I don’t see any link.
sorry I forgot to @mcampp in my last post.
never mind the PDF appeared just now.
@mcampp where did you upload your quarter 1 grades? On my page, there are only spots for full transcripts and second quarter/first semester transcripts. Also congratulations on your admission!!
