What Scores to Send to McGill?

Test Preparation
1

Hey guys, I am applying to McGill for the Faculty of Science.

I’m wondering what standardized test scores I should send in… they require two of either math 2, bio, chem, or physics.

I took the SAT: 2190
800m
700wr
690cr

and the ACT: 31
34m
32r
29sc
28eng (30 w/ writing)

SAT II scores:
760 chem
740 phys
720 math2

AP Scores:
Calc: 5
Chem: 5
Physics 1: 4
English Lang: 4
Euro: 3

The question here is which scores should I send? will they only consider the highest if I send them?

Also as a note I have a 4.0 unweighted, 4.51 weighted applying to life sciences top choice, and physical sciences second choice, if I don’t get into life sciences am I automatically considered for physical… if so thoughts on my chances?

Thanks guys!

you already scored 800 on math, so a 720 math2 subject score will only harm you, send chem and phy although if life sciences is your 1st choice, i am not sure why you didnt take the Bio sat subject test? Dont send them the ACT score, 29 is quite low for ACT Science

Thank you very much! And do you know anything about how difficult it is to get into lif sci vs. phys sci?

And as for why I didnt take bio I was simply unaware subject tests even existed until Sophomore year. However I am taking AP Bio this year in hopes to remedy that.

Here are the minimum requirements for 2015:

Life Sciences is more difficult than Physical Sciences.

It has also come to my attention that they do not superscore the SAT in which case I would have 690r 690wr 780m… I don’t know if that changes anything let me know! Thanks!

If your GPA is in the A- range and better then either set is just fine…

@Catria I guess my question was rather, in the self reported scores, should I report the superscore of the single sitting score?

Does anyone know anything about either superscoring at McGill or whether or not if I get denied from life science I will be automatically considered for physical science?
