<p>ACT score : 29 (I probably will retake it next year)</p>

<p>Majors: Middle Eastern Studies/Global studies and Arabic or if not offered Poli Sci</p>

<p>Does McGill even accept the ACT!? My SAT is horrible so as of now im not submiting it?! And does it have rolling admission!?</p>

<p>EC's don't matter. Your ACT is ok, but you might want to bring it up. All it'll come down to = your 10, 11, and 12th grades. </p>

<p>There is no affirmative action at McGill, and it's not rolling in the traditional sense. They'll notify you of their decision as soon as they've received your 7th semester grades.</p>

<p>McGill accepts both ACT and SAT. Your religion, ethnic background, ECS are not a factor at McGill-straight grades and test scores.-the application is on line.
It is a great school. My best wishes to you on your application.</p>

<p>More-my son is a poly sci/ dual middle eastern studies major. He has been quite pleased with the program at McGill. He is not a native Arabic speaker and the Arabic language program is quite intense (as it should be). But again, it has worked out well for him. From your post, I might gather that you are acquainted with Arabic, the Arabic you will study at McGill is one that lays a good foundation in the language. Mostly written for the first few years. As a former foreign language major, I feel this is the correct course.<br>
Again, best of luck to you. My son is quite pleased with the Poly Sci and Middle Eastern classes at McGill and so are we, as his parents.</p>

<p>Oh more again, I believe that Farsi is also taught as a part of the Middle Eastern Language program-Farsi, Arabic, and Hebrew. But don't quote me on this-check the McGill website.</p>
