<p>Hi all, I'm an international student who's applied for a term of exchange at McGill in Fall 2006/07. I've noticed that <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/decision/%5B/url%5D">http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/decision/</a> mentioned that the admission decision release dates for exchange student applicants are between Feb1-June1, but my application status has been "Ready for Review" since the middle of March. (i.e. one and a half month's of 'stagnant' status now)</p>
<p>Is this normal? How long do students (overseas and/or exchange students especially) have to wait before they receive a definite answer? Does McGill receive many international exchange students each term? Many many thanks!</p>
<p>mine said "ready for review" right up until i was accepted...im an ontario student, but im sure that the same "rules" apply...</p>
<p>thanks katie! may I know how long it took before they confirmed your acceptance?</p>
<p>what exactly do you mean? i applied in early december and got in in mid april...and it said "Ready for Review" that whole time...i checked it one day and it said "Admitted-pending final results". it had been only two days since i had last checked. i got a package in the mail about a week later (i think). hopefully that answered whatever your questions was!</p>
<p>oh! I meant how long it took before "Ready for Review" changed into another status like "Reviewed - decision pending" or "Admitted". Yes it does answer my question, thanks again! :)</p>
<p>I called up Admin last Friday (yep, long distance call! ;) ) and I think they were real busy, because I was put on hold for a couple of minutes before I got through to a staff. I asked when I could get a confirmation on my admission, and she said it could take up till the month of July..! I checked the website <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/decision/%5B/url%5D">http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/decision/</a> where it said that exchange student applicants will know their results by June1. </p>
<p>Now I'm wondering whether they have extended the decision release dates, or is it because I'm from overseas..? hmm.. I've just sent an email to confirm again, hope they'll reply soon.</p>
