my be considered an urm am not sure ; a eastern uropean norn there form the bronx
he participated in a research program at columbia</p>

2

<p>EC's dont count, but his scores are comparable to mine, and i got in. But then again, i got waitlisted so it's not guaranteed.</p>

3

<p>what faculty?</p>

4

<p>The Faculty would make a difference and yes, ECS don't count at McGill but the Columbia Connection couldn't hurt if he is going for Faculty of Science.
To my knowledge URMs do not count at McGill.
If accepted, he would get credit for the APS.</p>

5

<p>the faculty of science</p>

6

<p>I'd say about 50% shot at science</p>

7

<p>my twin who had a 3.74 and a 31 ACT got second rounded for the Faculty of Science (not wait-listed, but that sign they show you saying they need more time and will get back to you in a week or so). I only mention that so you have some point of reference. EC's mean d!ck, so it's gonna come down to his Physics, Chem, and Math grades. He has to have a B+/A- average in each subject to enter the faculty of engineering, I believe. Check out the McGill website ( <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/undergrad2007-08/usa/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/undergrad2007-08/usa/&lt;/a> ). I don't remember where to find the .pdf I read those minima on, but it's there somewhere. Either way, it'll be your hard science classes + pre-calc that'll determine your/his admission.</p>

<p>he hasn all a's on math an sciences classes took 5 science classes 2 a.p's physics and chem and ttwo math a.p's stst and calc ab</p>

9

<p>actually i think ECs count at McGill.</p>

10

<p>so do i. as a matter of fact, my stats were pretty low for the average mcgill applicant, but i'm pretty sure my ECs helped me a lot.</p>

11

<p>I don't remember a single place on the application that wanted elaboration on my EC's. I'm quite sure McGill doesn't give two hoots about what you did during your time as a student, aside from what you studied.</p>

12

<p>they dont look at ecs. so how would that help.</p>

13

<p>Agreed. McGill does not bother to see your ECs unless you are applying for a Major Scholarship.</p>

14

<p>if you have a 35 in the IB do they look at the rest of your application or are you in?</p>
