[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McGill employs a GPA cut-off in order to have your application read. It differs by major so look it up but usually you need above an A- in the subjects core to your major. This GPA cut-off serves as a way to weed out on the front end lots of applications that would normally get reviewed in the US. Since McGill prevents those from going in the pile, they have a higher admission rate than comparable schools in the US but that's because they use GPA to reduce the pool on the front-end so that they're only spending time reading qualified applications.

So don't mistake their seemingly higher application rate for it being of lower academic standard. It's not. They just only allow applications for qualified applicants (not 3.3 gpa "hail mary" applications allowed like at the ivies). Secondly for public unis like McGill, Canada has increased seats at their most sought after schools. As a result, classes are large and similar to big, public state schools in the US.[/quote]
