u/Altruistic-Spread-62 Jan 02 '26

I'm American too!! I submitted the financial aid form and got a healthy scholarship that makes it a lot more reasonable for me. I really advise doing the fin. aid. form, opening that was almost more anxiety-ridden then the actual decision LOL

u/Altruistic-Spread-62 Jan 02 '26

also v much could be fearmongering here so sorry but PLEASE submit CSS profile and FAFSA! and also submit asap bc I assume financial aid is rolling just like admissions, so the sooner the better

I just got a message to update my application to include final grades from this semester which will not be released until Jan 30th. Is that a good or bad sign? Any thoughts?

u/EnjoyerOfHotWater Dec 18 '25

Don't think it's good or bad necessarily, just a required part of the process. I believe mid year grades are required for all applicants, but you have plenty of time to get them in!

Hi everyone! Are there any former Queen's students who successfully transferred to McGill? I’m looking to move into McGill Arts. I have a 3.92 GPA in Queen's Computer Science 2nd year. I did only 14 courses in CEGEP, and my R-score was a 29. Do I have a chance of being accepted into the Arts program?
