<p>Thanks for sharing that link. I’d been looking everywhere on their site to get an idea of when they send out admission decisions. I’m a transfer student (from an American college), and based on what I’d read on this forum, I thought I’d be waiting until like July to get a decision. Looks like American college students receive decisions before Canadians do…that’s kind of odd, but good for me haha.</p>

I’m not sure if I should go to McGill. Money is not an issue, but saving 38,000 on tuition per year vs. every other school is nice. And McGill is a top tier international school.</p>

<p>Other comments: Despite being born in the U.S. I’m a Canadian citizen, so tuition is probably going to be super economical. McGill is one of my top choices right now, definitely leaning toward it particularly because of the French in Montr</p>

<p>my minerva status changed to “admitted pending final result” this morning, but i still haven’t received an email, is that normal?</p>
<p>It may take a few hours or so for McGill to send you an e-mail. The message on your screen means you are admitted with certain conditions that will be spelled out in your acceptance letter (e.g. high school graduation).</p>
<p>Any new results, guys?</p>

<p>i was accepted march 7th and my letter was postmarked from buffalo on the 13th so probably about 6ish business days to get the letter</p>
<p>@kevycanuck</p>
<p>Was wondering the same thing. I thought I forgot to fill some part of my application or something…haha.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah, I was totally bewildered when I finished my McGill application. I sat down prepared to spend several hours on it, and I was done in 20 minutes…</p>

<p>General Comments: Good luck to everyone who hasn’t heard back yet!</p>
<p>I was accepted on Feb. 9 to the Faculty of Arts, and I still haven’t received the acceptance package in the mail.
I did apply for an Entrance Bursary on Feb. 20, so I was thinking maybe they need to sort that out before sending the package, but it’s the end of March already…
I called them a week ago and (after being put on hold for 20 minutes for like the third time) they just told me it might take several weeks for overseas locations. Okay? I guess?</p>
<p>so when do the results for indian applicants come out?</p>
<p>Its on a rolling basis for all applicants. Only difference is if your international or canadian so a date can be given by which you can expect to receive a decision. They dont really classify all international students country wise as that would take ages. Indians could receive decisions anytime between Feb-April end.</p>
<p>@bubu11 I applied to Mcgill as an international IB student only in mid November. My status changed to 'Reviewed - decision pending" early February. I submitted my IB predicted scores, HS transcript, and toefl. Anyone have any idea when regular decisions will be made? I’m thinking early April? Thanks. It’s taking foreverr :(</p>
