What does Mcgill look for?

Applying to College

<p>I've wondered what Mcgill looks for in students.</p>

<p>Do they care more on my GPA than my admission essay?</p>

<p>What do they really look for?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>For American applicants, McGill looks only at GPA and SAT/ACT scores. No essays, EC’s or references required. If you are seeking a major scholarship, all those are required in a separate application.</p>

<p>Purely academics.</p>

<p>Any specific SAT scores or GPA that they would prefer?</p>

<p>Numbers?</p>

<p>Google is a beautiful thing…</p>

<p>[Admissions</a> standards for previous years](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/standards/]Admissions”>http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/standards/)</p>

<p>You should probably get comfortable searching for info on their website, no?</p>

<p>Yeah, sorry!</p>

<p>Ok, quick question:</p>

<p>When they say “B+ in each prerequisite math and science” do they mean all my math and science classes from grades 9-12, or from grades 10-12? (mentions above “All grade 10, 11, 12 courses are taken into consideration…”</p>

<p>I’m assuming they mean grades 10-12 but I’d like to be sure.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if they completely disregard your freshman grades?</p>
