What are my chances at McGill with a less-than-great ACT score?

<p>I'm a Canadian citizen born in Quebec, but living in the United States. McGill is my first choice school but I am incredibly nervous about my chances of getting in, as I don't test well and my ACT score reflects that. I have a 3.945 unweighted GPA (4.7 weighted) and am ranked in the top 10% of my class of 477 students. By the end of my senior year I will have completed 6 AP courses. However, my ACT is only a 29 because I always struggle with timed tests, especially in science though that is the program I am applying to (biological sciences). Will McGill consider the highest score for each of my subscores from any tests,or only those of my highest composite score? My highest individual scores are 35 (english), 30(math), 29 (reading), and 26 (science). Can anyone evaluate my chances of getting in? responses would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>They will pay attention to each individual score. But don’t worry, a 29 is not bad. It iss at the lower-end of McGill admissions, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it.</p>

<p>ONE THING I must say though, is that it “may” be a little alarming to an admissions counselor to see that 26 Science score and a hopeful major in the sciences. But who knows, they may deny your admission to Bio Sciences but accept you to your second-choice.</p>

<p>Overall, I wouldn’t worry. They understand people’s cases and take them into account!</p>

<p>I’ve checked many websites and i keep seeing that the average person they admit has a GPA of only 3.5 and an act score of something below 27, so you should be in the clear. don’t get why Canadian universities are ranked so high even though im planning to apply to one.</p>

<p>Here are the minimum stats for McGill admissios by program:</p>
