<p>I’ve referred to that site multiple times and I know it like the back of my hand. I’m very thankful that McGill has such a reference. I’m taking the APs to actually take the test (and most obviously not for the grade). I detest and despise english, no offense to others who have a particular affinity towards it, however I stuck with pre-ap and AP for the sake of the AP credit and so I wouldn’t have to do it in college. It doesn’t seem like McGill has english as a core course for freshman/sophomores (I have a shot at entering as a sophomore), however I need to consider other colleges as well where english IS a required course, and where I most definitely do not want to take it. </p>
<p>Aside from that, it’s just too late for me to drop this semester. No one is allowed to drop an AP at this point. If there was less emphasis on APs where I live, I most definitely would have taken regular english throughout. </p>
<p>In case I wasn’t clear on my question, I’m asking: because there is nothing stellar about my average, which is barely meeting minimum, would my better science scores give me any help since I’m applying to the faculty of science? I feel discouraged if I’m not able to get into McGill because of my english grade (basically, a course irrelevant to my major).</p>
