Admission question

Can i get into McGill civil engineering or bachelor of sceince if my GPA is 3.85 and SAT 1450(790 Math 660 RW) As an international applicant ( French) also i gave the DET which i got a 145/160 if that does anything

I think that it is worth an application to McGill. I do not think that I would consider it to be a safety.

One issue is that your GPA will be considered in the context of your high school and/or your country. Do you know how your grades compare to other students in your high school?

You might want to also consider Concordia (just up the street from McGill) and/or Universite de Montreal.

My high-school doesnt do rankings but im probably in the top 10 out of 80

Apply.

I do know that median GPA students (definitely not the top students with respect to GPA) from one private US day school are usually admitted.

I suspect that your ability in the French language will be a positive.

I might add that many, many decades ago I considered McGill to be a safety with an SAT score that was very slightly lower than yours overall (slightly higher in math, but lower in English). Somewhat more recently, perhaps 14 years ago, one daughter was admitted with an SAT that was overall again very slightly lower than yours (and overall almost identical to mine, but with a different English/math mix), and a very similar class ranking.

Again, I would apply with your stats and see what happens.

Bonne chance et Joyeux Noël
