<p>Hey y’all, I’m a US applicant who’s applying for McGill, as well as for the major entrance scholarship ($5,000-10,000). I’d like to know whether anyone else is and what my chances of receiving one are. I’ve heard that these scholarships are mighty hard to come by … anyway, here are my stats:</p>
<p>Specialized public school in NY
GPA: 96.6 (About 3.8-3.9?) - unweighted
Rank: unknown
SAT: 2290/2400
Verbal 750
Math 790
Writing 750
SAT II: Biology 750, Math IIC 750, Physics 730
AP Courses: Biology, French, Calculus BC, US History</p>
<p>I’m working on the essays this weekend (decent at writing essays, I suppose).
One good recommendation, one not-so-sure.
Extracurricular activities are my weak point; I have a handful of hours of community service, officer of a club and won a few writing competitions … that’s it.</p>
<p>And one last thing (can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier), does anyone know whether the $5,000-10,000 scholarships is in Canadian or US dollars?? It’s bloody confusing!</p>
