I've looked and looked and looked and I cannot find the Admission cut off rates for this university on its homepage.

Mcgill

Would anyone, if bored be willing to see if they can find the Admission cut off rates for the Engineering department?

I'll give you an e-beer :beer:

Oh sorry, meant mark wise. Like at Uwaterloo, for the 2 courses I want, one was 82.5 the other was 89.7

Along those lines. 🙂

OK, one more time. Are you talking about test scores for admission, grading curve, graduation rates? Just an observation but, communicating clearly in written English is a pre-requisite for most Universities.

Sorry, perhaps it is different for American Universities where more things are taken into consideration.

Here you submit a final 6 marks from your grade 12 for University applications. They take the average of those 6 marks to form your Average for your final year. Most Universities have what is called a cut off rate, where if your mark is lower than the needed average you will not even be considered for the program.

So take for example Nano-Engineering at Waterloo that I applied to had a cut off rate of 88.7 apparently. If my mark was lower than 88.7 there would be no point in implying, as I would automatically be cut (denied) acceptance. So I was trying to locate the cut off rates for Mcgill and could not find them.

McGill?s Competitive Admission Process

Your entrance requirements are determined by your educational background and the category of admission requested. Detailed information on additional requirements for specific programs, including Architecture, Education, Music, Nursing (B.N.), Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Religious Studies (B.Th.), and Social Work is provided in this guide.

Admission decisions are based on your academic record, as well as performance in prerequisite courses, depending on the program. All marks are taken into consideration in determining admission, including those for failed or repeated courses. In addition, many programs take other information into consideration in making admission decisions (for example, the audition for Music or the portfolio for Architecture). Generally speaking, extracurricular activities are not significant in the admission decision, although they are an important factor in the awarding of certain entrance scholarships.

Admission to McGill University is competitive and students who present the minimum requirements are not guaranteed acceptance.

Admission decisions are frequently based on official interim academic results available at the time of review. If admitted, you are expected to maintain your level of academic performance through to the completion of your pre-McGill studies. Due to constraints of space and timing, it is not normally possible to consider applicants on the basis of repeated or supplemental course work completed after the normal file review period. Admission is always subject to the availability of places in a particular program.
