<p>When I went to visit, I was looking through the information packet for the management school and supposedly, the programs have a limited number of spots. If anyone has had any experience with studying abroad or is going through the process now, is it extremely difficult to obtain a spot in your country of choice? If you don't get the spot, are you screwed?</p>
<p>I dont go to McGill yet (class of 2012!), but as far as I know, there are multiple options for study abroad.</p>
<p>You can arrange outside of school to study abroad (just need school approval) or you can do an exchange with one of the school's bilateral partners.</p>
<p>Basically McGill has partnerships with dozens of universities around the world. You can pick which of the schools you would like to study at. They all have limited numbers of students they will take from McGill at one time.</p>
<p>I don't think getting into study abroad programs should be a problem because, considering it would be safe to assume that a small handful of students at McGill study abroad each year (probably 5%ish or less), the chances of someone wanting to go on the program you want to go on isn't that great. If there were five slots for a given year, and 6 people applied, do you think that you will have the lowest gpa of the 6? or the worst study abroadapplication? probably not.</p>
<p>Here's the list of what schools have partnerships with McGill</p>
<p>Bilateral</a> partners</p>
<p>I spoke extensively to students/counselors this summer about SA and I def got the impression that anyone who wanted to could SA. I'm sure some programs do fill up, but there are so many that it's not something to worry about!</p>
<p>What colleges are some of McGill's bilateral partners?</p>
