Getting into McGill with IB ??????

I am currently taking a gap year but I will have to start applying to universities soon. I want to get into McGill.

On McGill’s website it says that I need a 5 or higher in each subject, for most courses.
It also says that I need an English A class.

I, unfortunately, ended up with a 4 in English A1 HL. However, the website simply stated that I need an English A class.
Had I taken, for example, English A2 SL, I would have ended up with a 7.

How is that fair?

However, I also got 110 out of 120 points on my TOEFL, when McGill only requires 90 (for the Arts department).

Also, my grades for English during my 2 years of IB were always ranging from 5-6, never below.

All my other grades are either 6’s or 7’s, I don’t have anything else below a 6.

That should compensate right?

I got 38 IB points overall, when for the arts department only 33 are needed.

Do I still stand a chance?
