[quote=Anonymous]McGill lines up applicants to each faculty in rank order by rigor/GPA and test scores. It then rolls down the list until it hits the number of offers that faculty can make (say, 2000 names down the list if the faculty of science has 1000 slots open for first years and expects a 50% yield), draws a line under that applicant, and makes offers to everyone above the line. The "minimums" that McGill publishes are the stats of the group of accepted applicants just over that line. The line moves around a bit from year to year depending on the applicant pool, but it's pretty reasonable to assume that you have a 50/50 shot at acceptance if you have exactly the "minimum" stats from the previous year, that you'll almost certainly be accepted if your stats are meaningfully stronger, and that you'll almost certainly be denied if they're meaningfully weaker.[/quote]
