| How difficult is it to get into McGill’s sociology major? For Americans with experience at McGill what have been the pros and cons? |

| Zero hand holding. But, excellent reputation at a very reasonable price. |

| It is large and there is weeding out/grade deflation. Montreal is one of my favorite cities in the world but tragically the academic year (Sept-April) overlaps with the absolute worst weather months in Montreal (Nov-March) so there's only a couple of good months of weather. June - August is fantastique! |

Not as hard as you would think due to full pay and no discounts. My kid looked into it for a different major, but ultimately decided against applying. They did not allow to double major in kid’s chosen fields - “ Faculty of Management does not allow for students registered in other Faculties to double major”. Note that this was not for a business major.
University of Ottawa is another attractive option depending on the major. Other things to consider: - It’s only known in specific circles in the US. - internship in Canada will require a different type of visa. Should not be hard to get, but keep it mind. |
