The Holistic Nature of McGill and the Second Undergrad

[feversugar]

I signed a contract so I cannot say xD But yes, every single step of the process is there for a reason and is not to be botched!

And it was for both undergrads and cegepiens I believe

I see. Any idea how they look at those with a botched 1st undergrad and an awesome 2nd undergrad? Do they really JUST look at the 2nd undergrad?

Were her stats awesome?

Attention to detail and answering thequestions is so important in the process and those who try to take shortcuts deserve what happens.

Her stats were not THAT awesome... her ECs were very good though compared to her R score (in the high 34.xxx). She was on the waitlist for the interview, so just a little more effort on the preliminary documents could have opened up a spot for her We're talking way better than my ECs (although we always have a tendency to bring ourselves down when comparing to others, so I can't vouch for my competivity )

And, a long while back, there was a thread on a 37- R score cégépienne with very good ECs who didn't even get an interview. Goes to show how much the CV highlights and summary are regarded
