@khashya786786 it's okay. You need to apply to Macdonald campus which has a slightly lower entrance average than the faculties downtown. The trick is staying in the program. :)
Hi, I'm living in Asia, currently taking British system A Level Syllabus, and I would like to know is it really difficult to get a place at McGill? I'm considering Science (Biology) for my major. Thank you..
@kelaudaj Hey, getting into McGill is really not that hard if you have good grades. It is important that u get a majority of A's (I dont really know how A levels work but I think you can get letter-grades right?). They are really looking for a strong academic background, and so much for extra-curricular stuff. So as long as you ahve a good transcript, good grades, and good references u should be fine
@guiguideg92 In Singapore we have co-curricular activities instead of extracurricular. But I guess they will regard those activities as extra curricular. Basically saying, they are more interested with students with excellent scholastic attributes aren't they? Thanks..
@triniface101 You can live a perfect life on and around the campus and the downtown area without havin to speak french ever, but if you want to discover a bit more of Montreal, especially the East side, you should consider learning some simple sentences or trying to understand a few words
Hello, I currently live in central america but I'm very interested in studying in Mcgill university once I graduate from high school, I'm inclined to study Medicine and I've heard wonderful things about the faculty, However, here in latin america after you get out of high school you can hit pre-med right away but from what I understand, I have to do 4 years of college first before I can hit Mcgill, can anyone affirm this please?
@xxAlesanxx Depending from where you are from. It is usually a 2 year college pre-university program or maybe international students are exempt from this rule. Check their website for more info.
@xxAlesanxx Remember that McGill Medical School is less GPA heavy than other Canadian Med Schools.
Yes, you need good grades, but you'll have to demonstate certain qualities to get in, such as leadership, social, teamwork skills, maturity, mental toughness and an enormous sense of self discipline.
Many students with stellar grades got rejected because they failed to demonstrate these qualities, so this is why you see students getting in with 3.5-3.6 gpas and people with 4.0 getting ditched.
the political sci. department seems large.. or maybe it's just the people they interviewed..

The advisors are crap - they are not responsible if they give you crap advice.
