    Know in detail about the acceptance rate of McGill and the acceptance criteria.

    McGill University opens applications only for the intake of fall (September) sessions and provides no admissions during winter or summer. Rightly considered the top 3 Canadian universities, the university guarantees placement within 3 to 6 months of graduation to its students.

    The process of seeking admission to McGill University undergraduate programs is quite formulaic and depends solely on splendid grades and standardized test scores. The university considers marks to be a sufficient parameter of judging ability and does not consider interviews, extracurricular, projects, or references of much value. On the other hand, admission in graduate programs is affected by many other factors such as recommendation letters, statements of purpose, and interviews.
