Hi,

I. Could you please estimate my chances of getting in?

1) International student from Europe studying in the IB with predicted grades 44.

2) SAT I: 2000 (620CR, 680WR, 700M)

3) SAT II: Maths Level 2: 760, Physics 790, French 800.

I’m not listing any ECs as they apparently cannot be stated on the application.

II. Now come the questions :D


Are teacher references needed and, if yes, when do I send them?
Is it true that students with French citizenship have the same tuition fees as Canadians?


3.I wish to study Economics but I am also interested in something related to science. What would be the right combination? I thought the Interfaculty fitted ideally but there are apparently only 3 programs there of which none suits me. On the faculty of science website, there is a page stating I could obtain a Bsc in science with a major concentration in Economics from the faculty of arts. However, I did not find any info on the faculty of arts website stating I could take a major concentration from the faculty of Science.(Since Economics is to be taken from the faculty of arts, not science) By the way, I wonder why I cannot just simply apply to the department of economics…


Can I freely make my own subject combinations? For instance to take one course from desautels and another one from the faculty of science? What is more appreciated: a BA Eco from the faculty of arts or maybe a Bsc from desautels?
Could you make a distinction between minors, majors, honours, concentrations etc?
Which of these are complusory and which optional?


Well, you have certainly noticed I am not perfectly familiar with the system at McGill so I would be grateful for at least an answer to one of the questions!
