eyewantin Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Guys who don't have the financial aid line on their decisions page and who do go to mcgill::: check your financial aid tab in minerva, and see if the first link is "Apply to McGill's Entrance Bursary Program " . The reason I am asking is because I just had my gf check the page (she is at mcgill) and she does not have it. I want to know if every applicant has it or only some. Thanks I have it, but nothing on my decision page. former mcgill student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewantin Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I am NOT at McGill right now (graduated last year). Under my application summary, I do not see the financial aid box. However, I do see the "Financial Aid" TAB next to the Applicant TAB (along with Main Menu, Student...). When I click on the Financial Aid tab, I do see the "Apply to McGill's Entrance Bursary Program" though I cannot fill a bursary application. Does anyone else have the same thing as me? Same scenario here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 what does it say when you click on the bursary application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewantin Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 The application and program information is provided to eligible students upon their acceptance to the University. Eligible students are newly-admitted first-year students, completing their first-degree and who will be starting full-time studies in the Fall. so it follows, that those accepted...will be able to access the form. I would say it's pretty certain. However...i am NOT completing my first degree...so i may not be eligible....hmmmmm...SPECULATION IT S BIIIITCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oslo Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 However...i am NOT completing my first degree...so i may not be eligible....hmmmmm...SPECULATION IT S BIIIITCH For those who DO see the financial aid box (Jamie, Mischa...), do you hold a degree from McGill? In my case, I have a B.Sc from McGill, and therefore would NOT be completing a first degree (if I do get accepted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Maybe the admissions people got tired of answering questions about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 well, i think someone called admission and they probably figured it out, oh well we'll all know by tmr anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oslo Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 boom....... Wow eyewantin. You're my star. I don't know how I totally missed the first degree thing. I hope you're right Now, dear Jamie and Mischa, do you hold a degree from McGill?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Nope, not from McGill. I do have a B.Sc tho from a different university. Although I think dadi is from McGill and he still had the financial bursary thing but I'm not sure if he already has a degree or not, although I'm assuming his med degree won't be his first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Not to throw a wrench in anyone's theory, but I have a B.Sc. from McGill, am currently working on my master's at McGill, and used to have the financial aid box. Maybe it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think the theory was that you wouldn't have the financial aid box if you already completed a first degree with mcgill. Because it says the bursaries are only available for people entering an undergrad degree and their FIRST degree with McGill I think this was the theory, but not entirely sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Claire for your input. With the very limited amount of available information, and the small sample size, any speculations are just in the air.

vihsadas Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I had not checked my minerva status until today, had not been on the forums until today, and had not read this thread until today. I was fretting the entire time I was reading this thread, and *just* read that they removed the financial aid line. So I have no way of knowing whether I had it or not. You guys damn near gave me a heart attack. lol. ^^Holds a McGill B.Sc., and has been out of school for one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
