Not meeting minimum requirements

<p>Mcgill supposedly has SAT score minimum requirements: 620 reading, 560 math, 610 writing (1790 total), but according to scatterplots on several sites, some people get in with only a 1110. How is this possible? Does Mcgill actually consider areas other than GPA and test scores?</p>

<p>For American applicants, it is GPA and test scores only. Those are the minimum for the least selective faculties by the way. Life sciences has a minumum of 2010 and physical sciences and management are 1950. </p>

<p>The scatter diagrams are self reported stats and people have a tendency to lie.</p>

<p>Or perhaps they came from countries for which SAT scores were not required…</p>

<p>I’m planning to apply to Life Sciences with an SAT of 1990 (580 R, 720 M, 690 W) - so this means I’ll get automatically rejected? D:</p>

<p>Most of us internationals come from countries where all exams are standardized. The whole country sits the same exam, not like high schools in the U.S making their own stuff.</p>

<p>So, almost all internationals here at mcgill have never done or heard of the SAT, apart from the americans ofc.</p>
