EDIT: To the best of my knowledge, yes, you are! congratulations ! But yes just double check with admissions to clarify the conditions, if any.

That makes a lot of sense as 782 is the number stated on McGill website. Thank you for the clarification. That being said, OOP needs to be approximately top 10% (top 7% last year) for getting an interview.

This year for Qc-Uni : 819 (McGill website) I believe some of these candidates were not eligible, hence the /782 you wrote. For that category 256 received an interview, so that is 33% (256/782). Knowing that the pre-interview score is : 70% academic and 30% non-academic, my opinion is that you have a fairly good chance of getting an interview. Best of luck !

First of all, apologies for you family issues. I am genuinely sorry to read about that. I hope it is better by now ? Here is what I think (personal opinion). First of all, wait for the answers. After that, your situation is unique to you. We are all human beings and unfortunately so many events happen in someone's life. If you made it that far to the interview and you're getting a positive answer on May 14th, it means they want you. After that, you can sit/have a talk with them to explain your situation. If I were on the committee and a situation like yours would happen, I would take it into account. Yes they want high-achiever students, but I truly believe they are looking for humans seeking to help other humans. I am always very optimistic as solutions always exist. For now, let's hope for the best for your family and focus on getting good marks as you've gotten in the past years. Best of luck and keep us updated

perfect, deal!!! congrats!!! you deserve it !!!

Gtx155, sais-tu que McGill et Ottawa ne calculent pas le GPA de la meme facon ? Un A+ et un A pour McGill donnent 4.0 alors qu'ils donnent 4.0 et 3.9 respectivement pour Ottawa. Peut-etre si tu recalcules ton GPA de la sorte, tu vas avoir une bonne nouvelle avec probablement un GPA encore plus haut pour McGill ? - Mr Trout

Gtx155, à titre purement indicatif, n'oublie pas qu'en Ontario on parle d'un GPA sur 4.0 (et non sur 4.3) comme au Québec. Sur 4.3 ça donne grosso modo une moyenne autour de 4.0/4.3. Je tiens à m'excuser en avance si tu en avais déjà tenu compte, mais je pense que la clarification est importante. Sachant que tu vas devoir faire des prérequis, je tenterais (si j'étais toi) de maximiser mon GPA en faisant les prérequis dans un programme (baccalauréat) de sciences et d'autres cours (pendant 1 année à temps plein) pour que pendant ta dernière année (la plus récente) tu aies le meilleur GPA possible (puisque celle-ci comptera pour 50% du GPA calculé selon la méthode OMSAS). L'entrevue est un panel avec 3 intervieweurs. Bon courage pour la continuation

I totally agree and I think this why we should be thankful to McGill for having such consideration of different EC we can all go through in life. It's definitely worth asking it ! Good luck !

I enjoyed writing it. I wish you all the best of luck! And remember : The distance between dreams and reality is action.

Wow ! thanks Mr Duck ! I appreciate the detailed post. - From your fellow Mr Trout

I would also like to know where these numbers come from ? And if these numbers were to be true, what is the rationale of interviewing not the same interviewees/spots ratio for the French and English streams ? In other words, you would have a greater chance to be admitted when you receive an interview in the French stream vs. the English stream... which is quite unlikely. thanks

Then if we're positive the interview is worth 100%, it means I was wrong and that all interviewees start on equal footing for interviews!
