Serais-je accept

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>McGill is my absolute dream school; I am interested in their life sciences program, particularlay a major in Genetics. I also plan to continue studying Spanish (perhaps as a minor).
Please be brutally honest. I need to know how and where to improve. My family and friends seem thoroughly convinced that I will be accepted, but I still have my doubts. What do you think?</p>

<p>ACT: 31, retook in September, anticipating a 33 or above
SAT IIs: 660 - Chemistry, 660 - Math II; retaking in October, along with Biology (E).
AP Chemisty - 4
Taking AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Spanish, AP Statistics and AP Biology in May.</p>

<h1>1 in my class of 380 students. My school ranks GPA on a 4.8 system; I currently have a perfect 4.8 (weighted).</h1>

<p>I took the most challenging courses throughout my high school career (all honors), with emphasis on mathematics and the sciences. Never received a grade below a 96.
I know that McGill doesn't take into account extracurriculars, so I will spare you the resume! (Just know that I am heavily involved in the community and hold officer positions in each of my activities.)</p>

<p>(Oh, and I was born in Quebec and moved to the US during the second grade. I can file for Quebec residency and I also still speak French fluently.)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>McGill is also my top choice! Your post just made me very envious of your French fluency and yadda yadda
Looking at my high schools college program, most people got in with a 30 ACT and lower gpa, like 3.7 unweighted. I’m not really sure it could change, but you are better off than I am. I have a 32 and 3.9 unweighted, so there ya go.
Maybe we will both get into McGill and life will be graaaand</p>

<p>I don’t see why you would have a problem getting in…If you do have a problem getting in then I will also have a problem getting in lol, and I don’t think that’s the case, so relax :)</p>

<p>yeah, 100% IN. DIRECTLY into the ACCEPTED PILE!!</p>

<p>Apparently econgrad is on the admissions committee.</p>

<p>I would say most likely in even to life sciences which is the most selective program. Decent chance for a basic scholarship, but again in college admissions, nothing is 100%.</p>
