Does McGill look at Weighted GPA?

I don’t know. I don’t even think the concept of weighted GPA exists in Canada.

Over 2/3 of McGill’s applicants are applying from a CEGEP, which is a Quebecois thing and is essentially a junior-college/prep school like institution which consists of what in the US and the rest of Canada would be the 12th grade and freshman year of college. These students are competing for admission against the rest of the applicants out of high school, and they don’t have a traditional GPA. They receive a score which is usually something like 30.9. I have no clue what that means but that is the median CEGEP score for entering students.
