sorry to cut the trend but did you guys get a letter or did you check on minerva ?

oscarUK · February 9, 2012, 3:26am

Seriously try reading other posts before you ask questions, there are about 5 that would answer that question. You get an email saying your Minerva has been updated.

lexmom1993 · February 9, 2012, 1:52pm

^Seriously OscarUK, let’s be a bit kinder.

johnnyhayek · February 9, 2012, 3:02pm

Seriously lexmom1993, I agree. Some people get worried about their applications at this time so it’s natural for kanchuka to be nervous about his/her acceptance. So please try to go easy on the posters here oscarUK.

kanchuka · February 9, 2012, 4:53pm

Haha thanks mates! And some people need to relaxxxx!

oscarUK · February 9, 2012, 6:34pm

Since the McGill application is a lot more streamlined than others I would suggest an alternative template (with added area of what faculty admitted to):

Pick one:
