<p>you’ll be fine, my stuff didn’t get to them until early march.</p>
<p>To mirror Wutang, though: be prepared to work hard. We’re just starting the second week here and I’ve already been given 10 or so hours of work. </p>
<p>i.e. Linear Algebra + Calculus problem sets (one calc set, alone, took me 3+ hours). I have a lab to prepare for tomorrow. </p>
<p>The thing is, I haven’t even finished the graded work. All the work I’ve done so far has been preparatory. For the first time in my life I’ve actually started reading ahead in my math books (just sitting in the lectures won’t cut it). </p>
<p>If you don’t think this’ll happen to you, that’s cool; I didn’t think it’d happen to me either. No one gives a ***** about you here. They tell you how your grades’ll break down, and when the “webworks” are due, their office hours, and then you’re on your own. 3 of my classes have final grades that are 70% or more dependent on the final exam. There are no mid-terms in my math classes (those have 85% finals). </p>
<p>I don’t say this to hijack the thread, I say this for all the people who think McGill’ll just be another application to fill out (“I’ll just apply to them too, as another option”). Don’t bother even keeping this as an option if you aren’t 100% willing to work your a$$ off (you can’t keep frosh-week up all year). </p>
<p>Of course college every where is a commitment, just from talking to my friends at other universities, though, I can tell you McGill is more of a commitment then most other places. </p>
<p>If you’re only keeping McGill around as an option, save your 70, or whatever CDN.</p>
