<p>So to be on the safe side, I am pretty much expecting to be denied from Mcgill, yet I really want to go there. Right now, I am almost positive that I will go to my flagship state school, unless Mcgill accepts me.</p>
<p>However, my question is about transferring to Mcgill. I am an American, so I know they take into account the SAT's.
The problem is that I can not find the stats needed to be accepted for transfer. Do I also need to retake the SAT (2100) plus two SAT 2's, or is it a little more lenient? Should I transfer after my first or second year, taking into account my interest in studying abroad...(which would mean only one year at Mcgill if I transferred after second year).</p>
<p>Also, I heard that Mcgill is in a tight money situation, meaning that me, as an American, would pay a lot more....adding to my chances to get in I hope... I am pretty confident about transferring after my first year, but I still can't find the stats needed to transfer....</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>if your SAT is 2100, then you should have no problem getting into mcgill.</p>
<p>GPA is…shyt</p>
<p>Even though I have A’s in English (minimum), I am applying for engineering, and a got a couple of C’s in AP Chem and AP Physics…too bad for me.</p>
<p>Do you know what school is easier to get into: department of engineering (electrical) or department of Science (Computer Science, physics, Earth Science, <<< whatever that is).</p>
<p>Contrary to econgrad’s advice, here are the grade requirements for engineering, those C’s may hurt:</p>
<h2>Engineering (B.Eng.)</h2>
<p>Electrical, Computer & Software Engineering
Mining & Materials Engineering
General Engineering</p>
<h2>B+ average in last three years; B+ in each prerequisite math and science; SATs/ACT as per minimum requirements</h2>
<p>Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Mechanical Engineering Courses: pre-calculus; chemistry and physics</p>
<p>A- average in grades 10, 11 and 12; A- in each prerequisite math and science; each SAT I and II 650 or ACT 29 (subscores 26 or higher) </p>

<p>so yeah…</p>
<p>can someone answer my original questions…</p>
<p>I think you should transfer as soon as possible. Do well in your home school and transfer after one year. Study abroad is semester based and not year long, I think.</p>
