does anyone know how to convert my grades(on the 100 scale that’s how my school does it) to how McGill would see it?

If you are American:
97-100 A+ 4.3
93-96 A 4.0
90-92 A- 3.7
etc.

thank u

i called to ask at service point and they said that they aren’t allowed to give me that information. How do you know that is the scale they use?

That is the standard conversion scale that American colleges use. As an American applicant McGill will use it.

US High School in California. 3.95 UW 4.52W. No test scores submitted.

McGill request Fall semester grade but my D21 doesn’t receive them until mid-Feb. Will she still have a chance at that point or will a majority of the seats be filled?

Hi all! I hadn’t realized I had to self report grades until about 2 weeks ago and immediately submitted my app then. How long should I expect to wait for me decision? Any idea if I’m looking at weeks or months? Thanks!

Who knows - there are a lot of us who self submitted the end of November and still haven’t heard! Not sure how they are looking at applications.

yup I applied the day after the Minerva portal opened and submitted my grades the moment it allowed us to; it’s been “Ready for Review” since forever though :confused:

We’re in the same boat. It’s been so long, I’m wondering if my daughter’s status will change and ask for next trimester grades.

My little brother also just got accepted. I know he was around a 3.9 UW. He had some doubts about the school and the faculty (he wants to do neuroscience into med, and was leaning towards more expensive schools in the U.S since he didn’t know much about McGill), so we found a mcgill student on fireside.world and set up a live chat. The girl was really helpful and answered all of our questions about the faculty and routes into med school / other graduate programs. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone who is thinking about pre-med or mcgill.
