Transfer for Fall 2014 Semester

<p>Has anyone received admission decisions yet or know when they start to come out? I applied early January. </p>

<p>Then again, what grades did you have and what faculty are you applying to?</p>

<p>3.68 GPA from an american university and applying to desautels as a sophmore </p>

<p>I always operated under the impression that the shortest turnaround times were strong applicants who applied earlyā€¦ at least this isnā€™t a pipe dream.</p>

<p>I was a transfer student admit (3.7 GPA though Canadian University) and I applied early and didnā€™t get my result until June. Essentially, the policy when I applied (around 2011) was that they waited until after the deadline to accept/reject the admission offer for new students (I think itā€™s around March/April/May though itā€™s been a while so Iā€™m a bit rusty on the exact dates). </p>

<p>I havenā€™t heard of any transfer student getting accepted in February (though of course maybe there are some), those are usually reserved for new students. I think how the transfer admission process works is they look at the amount of new folks committed to coming in (which starts to get finalized during April/May), the amount of folks that dropped out in any faculty and then they decide how many transfer students they will let in to fill the remaining spots. </p>

<p>I think as long as your GPA is around the recommended admissions standard stated here: <a href=ā€œhttp://www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/standards/transfer-and-second-degreeā€>http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/admissionsguide/standards/transfer-and-second-degree&lt;/a&gt;, you have a good shot at getting in. </p>

<p>For Desautels, I believe the program is under Management so you would need:
GPA between 3.3 - 3.7
B in each math (One semester course covering differential and integral calculus)</p>

<p>thank you for your reply!!</p>

<p>Do you know when I can expect to hear back? Iā€™m transferring from a Canadian university with a GPA of 3.74. </p>

<p>Iā€™ve submitted all my documents.</p>

<p>Iā€™m wondering whether McGill would possibly grant any conditional offer if you havenā€™t take the prerequisite Calculus? </p>

<p>I had Calculus and Linear Algebra in high school thoā€¦</p>

<p>American Community College student applying to the Faculty of the Arts with a 3.95 GPA. I still havenā€™t submitted my unofficial transcript yet (Iā€™m having trouble uploading it electronically), but I should have it sorted out by tomorrow. Hopefully it doesnā€™t take too long to receive a decision. Good luck to all!</p>

<p>@rockingthequest I called McGill about uploading unofficial transcripts and they told me that taking a screenshot of your marks (and uploading as a pdf) would be enough. If they require your official transcripts, theyā€™ll inform you.</p>

<p>However, I asked coming from a Quebec university. Iā€™d call them to make sure since the quicker you upload it, the sooner theyā€™ll respond about a decision.</p>

<p>@eddnyc Iā€™m pretty sure McGill requires those courses. If you donā€™t meet the prerequisite, I think youā€™ll have a significantly less chance of being admitted. Double check with admissions though. Iā€™d take summer courses if I were you.</p>

<p>@nk022872 I managed to get the document in PDA form, but I think they would have accepted a screenshot.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I have a withdraw on my transcript and Iā€™m hoping it wonā€™t hinder my chances of being granted acceptance. I retook the class, though, and received an A, but Iā€™m still concerned.</p>

<p>Has anyone got managementā€™s transfer offer yet? </p>

<p>Iā€™m still listed as Ready for Review</p>

<p>Same here.</p>

<p>The website said that we can expect a decision around May 1 - July 18, 2014 (if you are from a Canadian university). Is there any chance that they would give a response sooner? And how would that affect my decision to live in rez?</p>

<p>Has anyone moved out of ā€˜Ready for Reviewā€™?</p>

<p>It wont move out of ā€˜ready for reviewā€™ until early june so for now its best to just wait it out and check once mid-june comes around </p>

<p>Has anybody heard anything yet? Iā€™m still in Ready for Review.</p>

<p>Also, is it possible to be accepted based on my Fall term grades? My professors still have yet to submit the grades for my Winter term.</p>

<p>You may receive a conditional acceptance but all final acceptances are issued only after your final grades are reviewed. Be patient.</p>
