Does anyone know the regular decision deadline for McGill University? I'm trying to schedule my application submissions, and any additional tips for applying to McGill would be helpful too!
The regular decision deadline for McGill University is typically January 15th for most undergraduate programs. However, some programs have different deadlines so it's a good idea to verify on their website for your specific program.
When applying to McGill, remember a few key points. Firstly, McGill places a heavy, almost exclusive, weight on academic performance. Grades and academic rigor are the most important factors. Next, McGill doesn't require essays or recommendation letters, but they do need proof of proficiency in English or French, depending on the program to which you're applying.
Also, in place of extracurricular activities, McGill looks at academic context, which can include significant achievements, employment, or extenuating personal circumstances. It's vital to emphasize any context that significantly impacted your academic career.
Finally, remember to check the specific subject prerequisites for the program you're applying for, since McGill’s prerequisites are more specific than many other universities. Good luck with your application process!
