<p>Do Canadian universities such as McGill and UofT consider SAT scores? I'm a Canadian and have taken the SAT because I intend on applying to American schools as well. I heard that the average SAT at McGill is around 1200/1600 and was wondering if an SAT in the 2200/2400 range would help at all?</p>
<p>I don't think SATs are considered for Canadian students.</p>
<p>bump...anyone else?</p>
<p>I asked my guidance counselour, and he says they don't care at all. So don't waste money sending your scores to schools, I guess . . .</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation as you sethblue...is there somewhere on the supplementary forms where your SAT score can be just briefly mentioned without sending in the score? (they might confuse you with an international student if you send in the actual report?)</p>
<p>You will only need to send your SAT scores in if you are educated in an AMerican school I think.</p>
<p>yeah, it isn't necessary when we're canadians applying to a canadian uni, but it could help..could?</p>
<p>yeah, I'm also wondering whether it would help at all since I don't think my average is quite up to par.</p>
<p>Yes, it would help. I asked the counsellor at my school and she said that universities such as UBC, U of T, McGill etc. do look at SAT scores, if you've taken them. </p>
<p>I also looked it up on their website and it said the same thing so why not, send your scores in.</p>
<p>It definitely helps if you got some decent scores.</p>
<p>According to a Mcgill Admissions officer who recently visited our school, SAT Reasoning and Subject Tests will be taken into consideration as part of a student's application. (and it certainly is an extra element that would enhance a student's academic depth and commitment)</p>
<p>great! Thanks guys!</p>
<p>I asked McGill directly (when they came and did a presentation in the area) and the admissions officer said that they absolutely DO NOT consider SAT scores if you're a Canadian. So don't bother wasting your money and sending them, they'll just get thrown aside.</p>
<p>watch out what you are saying here, toothfairy. Perhaps you'd like to visit mcgill's undergraduate admissions website to correct what you've just said. Even if you are a canadian, submitting SAT scores will do no harm at all to your chances, and it certainly will enhance your application with a 2200+ score. </p>
<p>Also, the credibility of that "person from mcgill" would deserve some doubt, since a admissions officers would RARELY answer something with such firm, resolute answers such as "ABSOLUTELY DO NOT consider SAT scores." I've already talked to admin officials from a dozen or more institutions and all of them only gave me rather "vague" answers.</p>
<p>Bump......</p>
<p>Bump..........</p>
<p>I got in to McGill yesterday (hooray) and I never sent them my SAT scores. If you think they could help you, I don't think it would hurt, but you don't need to. If you're canadian and you're above their admission average (90%+ basically), I would just not bother. After a certain point with Canadian universities you're basically in.</p>
<p>hey cowgirlatheart, what do you mean by a 90%+ average? What do you major in? I think for Arts, it's a bit lower, around 87%</p>
<p>I meant that if you have an average of 90%+ from a canadian high school you can pretty much go anywhere. This excludes some of the really selective programs of course, but in general you should be fine. As for McGill, Macleans (2006 edition) states the average entering grade as 89%. I'd shoot for 90+ to be safe. ;)</p>
<p>I got into both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. I don't major in anything yet (right now I'm in IB)... but it's probably going to be political science. I'm also considering doing a double major in the a&s faculty with politics and something biology related.</p>
<p>McGill's admission standard for GPA is well below 90% for Canadians.</p>
<p>aND the thing I hate about canadian schools is that they ONLY look at your "GPA and School marks". </p>
<p>How can you distinguish and identify talents just by labelling students with a set of numbers?</p>
<p>Perhaps that'd be the reason why some students on canadian campuses have really low character standards/qualities.</p>
