Wait List

<p>I was waitlisted.
Does anyone know how many people get in off the waitlist, how it's done and when we find out? I've accepted a spot and still deffinately want to go to McGill more than anything.</p>

<p>bump (10 char)</p>

<p>i heard waitlisted people literally have no chance at all at mcgill...not sure though..</p>

<p>Damn, really? If that's so, why would they even bother offering spots though?</p>

<p>Oh well, I'm on there too. Looks like I'm heading to Vancouver.</p>

<p>what program you guys on for? certain programs have it much harder since so many more people apply.</p>

<p>Arts, which is part of the reason there's probably no room left. The other part is that I'm from Long Island, and colleges typically only allow a certain number of students from my area. So I figure my chances are shot to hell.</p>

<p>Arts. Whether I get in or not I just want to know...does anyones know when they usually tell you, or is it as random as they claim? I'm from Albany, NY....looks like either Maryland or Toronto. Any recommendations?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>Yeah, so I got in. I'm happy. That's all.</p>

<p>great for you. So are you going to go? what will you major in?</p>

<p>I just got in off the wait list! It was Arts, too. Super excited! I was set on UBC because I figured the chances of the wait list was nil so I'm torn on where to go... </p>

<p>Damn them, making me complacent in disappointment.</p>

<p>btw...what were ur stats for those of you who got off the waitlist?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3 UW; 3.8 W
ACT: 29
Rank: 50/550</p>

<p>I live in Southern California at a pretty difficult high school--fair amount of people go to Stanford, UCLA, UCB, etc. The majority of my schedule sophomore year on has been APs or honors classes. After being wait listed I got an extra recommendation letter and visited McGill, waiting I could meet with someone in the admissions office, so I assume that helped.</p>

<p>what was ur junior/senior year gpas? did u apply towards the end of application dates (curious because of rolling admissions.)</p>

<p>for those off the waitlist with the deposits paid, what do we do next? I'm so confused- I feel like I need to be doing things to register but mcgill hasn't told me anything.</p>

<p>Grades:
2040 SAT (650M, 700CR, 690W)
two AP scores of 4
average of about a 90-94
From a long island, ny school, ranked about the 150th best in the country by newsday. That probably worked against me.</p>

<p>That's all you'll need to know. I applied to Arts, and I'm probably going to major in music theory/comp. </p>

<p>Haven't paid the deposit yet, but I probably will today.</p>

<p>how did u get waitlisted?
ur stats seemed really good, or at least pretty good. Do you think it maybe had to do with rolling admissions</p>

<p>It's probably because of where I'm from, at least in part. The area I live in (Long Island) produces an absurd number of really good students, so odds are McGill wants to keep that number down in order to diversify their American student body.</p>

<p>Also, colleges are basically crapshoots. I know a guy who got into MIT, and rejected from UPenn. So, there's no way of really understanding what colleges do to get these results.</p>

<p>well are you going to go then?
Congrats. And, im guessing you like Meshugga huh?
They are pretty good.</p>
