@mgtgja yes, that’s what everyone gets (I got it too) - it just means they want proof that you graduated high school once the year is over just as every school does
@chilliums Yes I did. Haven’t heard back though. I’ve gotten a $6000 entrance bursary, but my scholarship still says under review. Did anyone get the 10k yet?
Everyone is posting their extracurriculars, but how did you submit those to the school? They didn’t require a resume and said not to send in unnecessary documents.
@katlbullock mcgill doesn’t care about extracurriculars for admission. I’m not sure if they care about them for scholarships.

I was sure I would be rejected. I sent in my SAT and my ACT for whatever reason and I don’t know how I got in with my mediocre stats. My status changed from “decision pending” to “admitted pending final results” about 3 weeks after I sent in my mid year report.
I submitted my mid year report on February 6, and am still at “Reviewed- Decision Pending”. I applied to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as well as the Schulich School of Music. They haven’t registered my audition at Schulich on Minerva yet, so since that application is technically “incomplete”, could that be why I’m still “decision pending”?
My application says, “Ready for review”. I completed my application with scores in November.
Can anyone help please and give me some time frame on when I get a decision from McGill?
I am a US high school student, and McGill is the last school I’m waiting to hear back from. I’m applying to the Bachelor of Arts program. For some reason I still haven’t heard back yet, even though I’ve submitted my mid year scores and they have all the info they need. My status has been at the dreaded “Reviewed- Decision Pending” for over a month now. I just wanted to check if this was normal/if anyone else had this problem. On the McGill website it says US high school students should hear by the end of March so I guess there’s still a couple days. Any comments would be appreciated.
Im in the same position. My status has been “reviewed - decision pending” since February 10. It’s the last school I’m waiting to hear back from. Anyone else?
@sharklover Same here for Mechanical Engineering for my D, a U.S. Applicant.
I’m still waiting too- I’m a US student and I applied to the faculty of arts. It’s been “reviewed-decision pending” for over a month now.
I am also an American applicant in the same position. I just called McGill and they told me decisions are not going to be made before April 1st, like American schools, but rather sometime in April.
But American students have to decide where they are going by May 1 and make a deposit…
