<p>chances are good…what faculty did you apply to?</p>

<p>I applied to Faculty of Arts</p>

<p>Good chances.
Just out of curiosity, what are your times in xc + indoor/outdoor track? (guessing from your name that you run…)</p>

<p>XC time is 21:22 for a 5k
(For my junior year…I was injured all or junior and senior year with a torn hamstring, hip flexor, quad, and hammy…not fun :(</p>

<p>I’m hoping to run xc in college—what about you?</p>

<p>i saw the word track and had to join in…im a decathlete, but i don’t think i’ll be doing track in college [wherever it is that i go :)]</p>

<p>Ouch…that really sucks happy. I know how debilitating running injuries can be, utterly destroys the season.
I’m def running in college as well!
XC–17:42 for 5k
10:47 for 2 mile
4:55 for mile
I looovve running and can’t wait to do it in college! What state are you from happyxcrunner?
You’re a decathlete, Prospect? That’s really cool. But why do you want to stop?</p>

<p>I like track and all, and I’m a ‘solid’ athlete (i can give a good performance in many events, but i don’t stand out in anything), but I mainly don’t want to continue perhaps because I …i just spent a few minutes typing different answers here and I can’t really come up with one. I just think it was fun while I did it, and although i’ll definitly run in the future, it just won’t be competitively. I think I’m interested in checking out volleyball…</p>

<p>I’m from New Hampshire…gotta love Derryfield Park!</p>

<p>What are my chances? For grades 10, 11, and 12, my gpa is about 3.3. However, I have solid SAT scores (1480, 800 math iic, 770 physics, 720 writing). Will my gpa kill my chances?</p>

<p>I don’t know if this matters much, but I’m male and from the U.S.</p>

<p>nsdlevin, I think a 3.3 is right on the edge. Also, it depends on the program you applied for at McGill


a lot

. For example, last year Electrical Engr required an A- but Chem Engr required a B+. The exact GPA for each program is determined from the applicant pool for that year. Here’s is where I’m getting this information:</p>

<p>Also, you can research how applicants from your HS faired in admissions to any school (incl McGill) from information in your Guidance Dept. Here are a couple of HS’s that have this information on line and had applicants to McGill:</p>

<p>T990,</p>

<p>Thanks for the post and the link to the cutoffs, it was very helpful and I really appreciate it. However, I have another question:</p>

<p>I’m applying to Management and Science. On the cutoffs page, it says that I need a B+ or higher in every math class for management. However, I got a B- in geometry in 10th grade and have a B- in AP BC Calculus this year. Are they very strict about the requirement of a B+ in all math classes, or will they overlook it since I got an 800 on both the SAT I and II in math?</p>

<p>You know as much as I do. :)</p>

<p>I really can’t say, unfortunately :frowning: only eight more days for y’all!</p>

<p>I ran a 18:09 for 5 K the second meet then got injured and my times went up :frowning:
Sucks
But I’m not a runner really, I just did XC to stay in shape.
Best mile:…hmm, well my best first mile for a 3 mile race was 5:20, so maybe around 5?</p>
