I am a US High School student from NJ, and I was just wondering when results would come out, give or take. I submitted my full app in September 2015 for Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Management. I know the website says December or January, but can anyone give me a more specific answer?
"High school in the U.S. Late November 2015 to end of March 2016 "
In the past decisions tend to come out randomly during this period. The further above the minimum requirements you are, the sooner you will get a decision. Date of applying is not a factor.
I applied as soon as the application came out in September for Faculty of Arts. On Thanksgiving I got notified that there was further review required and that I had to upload my first quarter grades. So for Faculty of Arts, I wouldn’t be concerned if you weren’t getting anything, but there’s a chance you may be soon!
Update: Got accepted pending final results, so decisions are coming out!
@marvelousmars I just got my first quarter grades in. Did it take about a week after that for you?
@CollegeKidCool I put them in after school on the 30th and got accepted midday today, so about two days.
Yep just got in today as well. Submitted quarter grades Monday.
@marvelousmars @pubkid - did they specifically ask for first quarter grades or mid-year grades, do you remember?
Also got in yesterday. Submitted my grades on Sunday.
@balaur Know this question wasn’t specified at me, but they asked me only for my first quarter grades and that’s all I gave them, seeing as my second quarter hasn’t ended yet. Got accepted from just that.
thanks @SuperFloree ! My daughter was asked for mid-year grades, so I guess we will have to wait til January to submit.
For those admitted, were your stats significantly above the minimum requirements?
@balaur Np :3
@TomSrOfBoston Well I applied to the Faculty of Science, and if I’m on the right page the Life Sciences program has an average of an A- and an ACT of 29 while the Physical and Computer Sciences has an average of a B+ with an ACT of 28.
First off my ACT score was 34, so that was definitely quite a bit above what they have listed. With grades, my school only gives final course grades and we don’t have a +/- system, so I have an A in basically all of my courses in high school except for English Honors in 9th grade and AP Chemistry from 11th grade, both of which are instead Bs. From my first quarter of 12th grade I have all As. GPA-wise I sit at around a 4.34 weighted, 3.8-3.9 unweighted.
Overall, I guess it could be said my grades look pretty above their listed standards, although I’m going to fully admit that’s only because my school doesn’t give out pluses and minuses. If they did, I probably have about an A- average, heh.
My daughter also was asked for mid-term grades. They will not come out till the middle of February.
@superfloree Those are the minimums, not the averages. You are way above the minimums so I am not surprised that you heard early.
So if I put in first quarter grades yesterday, when should I expect a response? Next Wednesday?
No one knows!
@balaur It was just quarter grades for me.
@TomSrOfBoston I was well above requirements. High GPA, ACT, and SAT.
@TomSrOfBoston Are they? I dunno, it kept saying average so I thought they were averages. Well I guess then I would seem to be significantly above the minimum then (although I still maintain I only look stellar because of the lack of a +/- system in my school, I mean honestly look at me right now I can barely understand their website lol).
They are the minimum UW GPA and SAT/ACT scores. McGill’s website is a maze.
From the website:
"The values listed below are the lowest grades used for admission for September 2015; grades that are equal to or better than those listed do not guarantee admission for September 2016. ’
got my results today for faculty of arts
29 ACT
official weighted gpa: around 4.1, unweighted around 3.4, but this is including freshman year and PE classes which mcgill doesnt count.
i submitted my quarter grades on saturday and got the “Admitted pending final results” two days later (today) around noon :-)))))) super shocked since i barely meet minimum req’s and only people who are well above them get accepted quickly
