Sammie Backman Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) I'm afraid that only the Admission-officers at the university can answer your question.However, according to their website(link), the minimum admission criteria for their management course is 35 points with a 6 in SL math. You will just have to wait and see. Edited July 9, 2011 by Sammie Backman Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastination Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Which was McGill conditional offer? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PoisonousPumpkin Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 We can't really know if your offer will be revoked or not, it all depends. If your missed 6 points, the most probable thing is that you'll not be accepted but again, anything can happen. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastination Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 What are the prerequisites for studying economics in McGill, I can't manage to find the info. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammie Backman Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) What are the prerequisites for studying economics in McGill, I can't manage to find the info. You apply to the Faculty of Management[1]. They request a minimum of 35 points, with a 5 in Mathematics HL or a 6 in Mathematics SL[2]. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desautels_Faculty_of_Management 2: http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/standards/ib/ butters: It does not look very promising, as they want 35 points. Do you have a back-up plan? Edited July 9, 2011 by Sammie Backman Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Butter Jelly Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 McGill doesnt really value the IB diploma, and a drop of six points is significant that it does not meet minimum requirements. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
butters Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 wait guys. the min is 35 points, but that is too get accepted into the program. I was accepted since my predicted was 36 point....but to maintain the offer is different. They asked me to 'maintain my academic achievements and obtain the diploma'. Ive been told by people that i will be fine, but i need to make sure. thnaks a lot guys Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 how can you be fine if you dropped 6 points??? I mean, you don't even meet the minimum requirement and you are not maintaining your predicted grades. McGill is a good university; the chance of they keeping you is a bit low.

newgirl330 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hi guys,I am currently predicted 32 IB points and i'm interested in McGill's Art Program. Is this too low for the Arts? Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastination Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Unfortunately you need at least 33 points to get into McGill's art program. You're missing the minimum prerequisite by one point. However, I really think achieving this extra point is something you can do if you study a lot for your final exams Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Predicted 32 score 36 or you could be predicted high and score low. Ex predicted 36 score 30 Mcgill would prefer the latter Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can you only change majors the second year? I'm interested in going to McGill but because my grades aren't very good, i'm worried, even though i'm applying to other Canadian universities. Is Dietetics and Nutrition hard to get into? - That's my second choice.Sorry for all of my questions. I'm not sure about a few things. Thank you!

I'm not sure about a few things. Thank you!Yes you can change majors at McGill in first year. The problem is that McGill gives you first-year (U0) credit for IB HL courses; and you are forced to take it. That means that you get pushed up to second year (U1) automatically, where it becomes harder to change your major.The lowest grades for admission into dietetics and nutrition at McGill for September 2011 was 30 points with at least a 5 in each math and science. If you have 2-3 points higher than the minimum requirement, you should get in since McGill only considers your grades.This link has the IB admission standards for McGill: http://www.mcgill.ca...g/standards/ib/ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
