McGill Transfer (2021 Fall)

I applied like a week after applications opened and i dont remember applying for a course specifically. If I got put on the waitlist does that mean they’ve accepted everyone they plan to yet? They made it sound like that in the letter they sent me about about the decision.

@okcry so when i called service point today they told me that they really only accept transfers case by case and when theres availability. They told me that they reject applicants they don’t want and have the competitive applicants in ready for review or waitlist until they have space. So I don’t think they’ve accepted everyone they plan to yet or at least that’s how the service point rep made it sound. Best of luck to you!!

thank you for the information! I’ve got my fingers crossed that we get accepted !

Hi does anyone have any updates? I’m an international freshman transfer from a college in the U.S. with a 4.0 gpa. Applied to arts and science and still at RFR.

I got rejected by arts and science and got a decision pending for arts

The status literally changed yesterday

My status just changed to Further Review Required. Arts requested my hs transcript and science requested both hs transcript and ap scores (which I’ve never heard of them doing). Hope you receive good news for your decision pending for arts!!

So good to see this thread…
I sent my application just before the deadline and got waitlisted one day ago.
Feeling panic right now.
I’m the first year international student from Canadian university applying to McGill’s science program with GPA 3.78/4 (or 8/9)
Hope I still have chance to be accepted…

I got waitlisted too…we’re in the same boat. I’m a transfer student too, hoping to start my 3rd year @ McGill.

That’s good! At least they are interested in you and want more info from you! I really hope we all get in cause this drooling wait is not doing us justice.

If you get accepted will you have to spend more time completing your degree?

I also got placed on the waiting list for arts although I am technically a cegep applicant since I’ve only completed one semester (winter 2021). My r score was not too bad (28.9) although my GPA wasn’t too great 3.3. I applied for the winter 2021 semester back in the fall and was waitlisted until they had finally refused due to limited space. I’m considering the possibility of just applying every semester until I get in.

My status just updated to reviewed - decision pending for arts. Did you guys get a link to a pdf with a letter or did it just say the word waitlist?

I got both. First, it changed my status to waitlist then a day later I was sent the pdf.

hi there. I’m exactly in your boat. I’m in Concordia rn. My application status has became “Decision pending”.

My status is decision pending too. At this point I feel like my chances are slim. @zutter

I went back checked posts of last year. Last year quite a lot ppl eventually got waitlisted for arts and refused for management.

Going through last years’ forum is so depressing, many of them got WL for arts and ended up refused until September. And they all got good grades. Management is always so much harder than arts.

Any updates guys? still RDP for me
