<p>that's where i sent mine and it got there"</p>

<p>morningtheft, this is the exact address that I sent my transcript to. They didn't get it though. How long did it take for Minerva to update?</p>

<p>harpgirl or anyone else, do you know where to find information on pre-med at mcgill? i think i wanna do the commerce program and minor in chemistry, then go to med school. would i have room to minor in chem if i have to fill all the requirements for med school too? cause i know in the states, u can major in whatever u want as long as u take the requirements and the MCATs. but i don't know about the Canadian system.</p>

<p>Can you tell me, is the McGill Campus all in one place, or is it spread around? Also, do you know anything about the Computer Tech departments? (Sorry, I'm a little vague on that one, I'm asking for my son.) Thanks.</p>

<p>So that harpgirl doesn't have to answer ALL our questions... ;-) I visited the campus last summer. It was surprisingly compact for its enrollment size. There is a residence 4 metro stops away (Solin) and the "Macdonald campus" about 20 miles away, but otherwise its all together and easily walked. Our tour guide, a 4th year, said she has never been to the Macdonald campus.</p>

<p>I recommend you look here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/index/macdonald/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mcgill.ca/index/macdonald/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>yup yup, thanks T990 :)</p>

<p>McGill campus was in place before the city grew up around it, so it is a defined campus (unlike Concordia or NYU), and it's also quite small considering the number of students. Macdonald campus is mainly for upper year agriculture students, I meant to go out there but never did. maybe this spring. Prettymuch everyone studies at the downtown campus. All the residences except for Solin are close to the downtown campus. </p>

<p>My friend is a computer science major and seems to think highly of the department..but I'm a little vague on the specifics of it personally </p>

<p>:)

<p>Thanks everybody! We are going up to Tremblant in Feb and I thought maybe we'd just swing by and get a look see. Sounds doable if it's not all over the place.</p>

<p>ooh tremblant, lucky! </p>

<p>Just so you know, reading week is February 22nd through the 26th, so those days and the weekend preceeding and afterwards, the campus isn't going to be it's normal hub of activity. In fact most of us are going to clear out and go somewhere warmer ;)</p>

<p>GUys i just checked MINERVA and my status says</p>

<p>ADMITTED PENDING FINAL RESULTS</p>

<p>What does this exactly mean? is this a conditional offer or im admitted for sure? i gave them a call they said if u maintain ure current grades then ure admitted, i dont get it, if its a conditional offer they shud specify wht grades do i need to get it..</p>
