<p>I got in as a food science major, which is 22k tuition plus residence. I will be switching to double major in business and a communications, which should be fine as long as I keep my GPA up. I don't have to declare a major until junior year, so I'm hoping to go with 22k tuition the first two years, as a BCom major's tuition is 37k if I was to go that route.</p>
<p>I'm an American so that's why their tuition is more spiked, but still, world rankings wise McGill is the highest ranked school I got into. I like Canada and took french for two years in high school. But still, McGill is kind of unchartered waters for me, I don't know much about the school.</p>
<p>It's still a cheaper alternative to the other schools I'm seriously considering...UDenver, BU, Northeastern, Pitt, UMass.</p>
<p>Should I seriously look into attending McGill?</p>
<p>You need to find out just exactly how easy it will be to switch majors once you get there. Is it possible at all? Will it add on a year (or more) to your studies?</p>
<p>What state are you from? Most states do have a decent public U where the tuition, fees, housing, and meals will come in under the total cost of McGill, and you have access to federal aid if you are in the US.</p>
<p>I heard from one student it’s fairly easy after one semester(core classes i’d need to take anyway) as long as your GPA is solid.</p>
<p>I’m from New York. I was accepted to U of Buffalo which is pretty cheap, got into Syracuse as well. I don’t really have much interest in staying in New York for school however.</p>
<p>If it’s not too hard to change majors (which I doubt that it is) you should seriously consider McGill. It has a much better reputation internationally than the others, so unless New York schools are much cheaper and that’s crucial to you, it seems like an excellent choice. It’s in a great city and you’ll meet students from all over the world. The main complaint I’ve heard is that there isn’t much of a campus. It’s kind of NYU-like. Hopefully you can go to accepted student days.</p>
