<p>I got accepted in the Bachelor of Arts and Science and the Bachelor of Science (physics, mathematics, computer science) with a 98% average in all of my courses, which I believe in converted into a 4.0 GPA?</p>
<p>Can’t wait to attend in the fall! =D</p>
<p>Congrats Classiquely!! Just curious – were you waitlisted and just found out, or did you find out you were accepted some time ago??</p>
<p>Enjoy McGill!! I’m sure it will be fabulous :-)</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>No, actually I wasn’t waitlisted. I found out that I was accepted before, but I was still trying to choose from the other Universities that I was considering. I just recently chose to go to McGill in September, which landed me here.</p>
<p>Hey Classiquely!</p>
<p>First of all, congrats 
I’m going to be applying this fall too, to the Bachelor of Arts and Science faculty. Would you mind terribly if I asked you what your SAT scores looked like? And what else did they ask for in the application apart from school grades/SATs? I was wondering if they even look at extra-circulars…</p>
<p>I am a Canadian student. When we apply to McGill, we have to “self-report” our grades. So, our acceptance is purely based on our academics in comparison to what we are applying to and the minimum average accepted into that program.</p>
<p>My academic average is currently 98% which is, I believe, a 4.0 GPA in the U.S. </p>
<p>They don’t look at your extra-curricular activities unless you are applying to the Major Scholarship. I was awarded an entrance scholarship. </p>
<p>I am not sure about the minimum academic “level” required for U.S. students, but you can certainly look online at the McGill website. </p>
<p>Oh yes, I went to a information “session” for McGill near a major city where I live, and the woman who was giving the presentation said that acceptance into McGill is mainly through academics, while in the U.S., I think, also involves extra-curricular activities.</p>
<p>Hmm…well that’s gonna be slightly confusing, because I’m a Canadian citizen, but doing my high schooling abroad. I suppose I’ll have to call the admissions office and ask what they require in a situation like this - will they consider me a Canadian applicant or an international one?</p>
<p>Oh and btw, do you mean a US applicant would have their extra-curriculars considered or are you saying that US universities look at extra-cirriculars, not Canadian ones? Sorry, my brain seems to be on strike today :/</p>
<p>Thanks though, hope you have a great time at McGill :)</p>
<p>Moonlight, this might help you. It basically covers all of the academic information for most educational systems. </p>
<p>[Admissions</a> standards for previous years](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/standards/]Admissions”>http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/standards/)</p>
<p>These were my stats but I also submitted a letter of extenuating circumstance concerning the reason behind my low unweighted GPA:</p>
<p>31 ACT
3.30 uwGPA
3.91 wGPA</p>
<p>That did help, thank youu :)</p>
<p>I got accepted in Chemical Engineering as a transfer from a Quebec university. With a 3.88/4.30 gpa during my first year.</p>
