Admission review process

  • Applicants will be considered for admission on Class X exams/results, school transcripts for Grades 11 and mid-year 12 or, if already written, on the final Class XII Certificate. Positional grades and/or predicted grades are not used. Grade 11 and 12 transcripts must show continuous assessment and examination results (overall term/semester results).

    If admitted, you are expected to maintain your level of academic performance through to the completion of your pre-McGill studies.

​Minimum grades and prerequisites

The minimum requirements are the four core subjects (Chinese Language, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies), as well as two or three elective subjects from category A (academic subject) or category C (foreign languages). Subjects from category B (applied learning subjects) cannot be used for admission. Predicted and final grades of 3 or better in each subject is the minimum, although most programs are more competitive and will require higher grades.

If admitted, you are expected to maintain your level of academic performance through to the completion of your pre-McGill studies.
