Wow! My best friend submitted his Sunday and got in on Tuesday! I submitted mine Sunday as well! The wait is getting to me lol!

good luck!!! thats so quick wow!
i think that with them they’re able to do it quite quickly because besides putting your grades into a spreadsheet, there’s not much to review. i’m still in “reviewed - decision pending” for faculty of science and who knows how long that could take lol

I’ve just been further review required for over a week, but seeing so many acceptances has made me nervous even though my grades are above the cutoffs.

you got this!! we’re all so impatient, hopefully they’ll wrap up by the end of the month at the latest for US students to keep a similar timeline with other schools

just wondering, is your weighted gpa on a 5 scale or 4.5?

my official documents say my weighted gpa is 4.07/4, but i think in the terms ur asking its out of 5. as in an A in an ap/honors class counts as a 5

It seemed like there was a huge wave of Ontario applicants admitted yesterday! I wonder when the next wave of international admissions will be!

majority was arts

How many of us are left still waiting it out???

I only saw one acceptance of an international student that I know of yesterday.

My daughter is still waiting

My U.S. son applied for Arts on Oct. 10. He submitted first quarter grades when prompted, around early January, I think. “Ready for Review” ever since. We’ve had this same conversation at least twice a day for the last two months:

Me: “Have you checked Minerva (or McGillicuddy, or Methuselah, or any of the dozen other pet names I have created for Minerva) yet?”

Him: “Ready for review.”

Me: “At least you’re ready.”

Hoping to be done with this soon!

Same here I submitted mid year grades exactly a month ago and my parents are now taking bets on which day of the week it will be.

My daughter just updated her 2nd trimester grades per McGill’s request. I guess we will be waiting for a long time…again.

Still waiting. “Further Review Required” for weeks (with no requests for grades.)

Same here- D still waiting. Applied from US school IB program, TO, submitted first semester grades when prompted. Applied just under the deadline in January.

Hello, my son applied from outside the US with the IB back in October with predicted IB grades. French/ US citizen, and still waiting for Management and Arts. He submitted his mid year grades on February 11. His school doesn’t do ranking or GPA, only IB grades and semester letter grades.
Still with "Further Review Required’…

What are his grades like?
