Hi,
I am currently having d same xperience as u except i am applying for sept-2013 intake....
By the way what was ur result... did u get into McMaster... I am freaking out here...
got above 85% in schooling and 77% in anna univ BE(ECE) with IELTS score 7.5

Suggest ur opinion... plz...

I think the earliest reply that an applicant will get (applying for fall 2013) is by March, At least that was what the dept. coordinator told me (biology dept). Maybe They are just giving a very conservative assumption about the time. They told me to always check the status in minerva, should they need any other documents.

By the way, I applied for the fall sem 2013. for the graduate degree program (PhD) of Biology Dept.

Hi Josh21!

Hope you are enjoying your stay in McGill. Just a quick query, how long did you have to wait for admission result, during your application process?

Also, do you live outside or on-campus? can you give us some idea about the expenses on living in montreal (day to day living etc)?

thank you very much! Good luck on your studies

Well, I applyed on Jan 5th,2012. I uploaded my education transcripts on Jan 30th and after that it went to Ready to Review. After about 3 weeks of waiting, it changed to Further Review Required where they asked me to upload a document stating what I was doing during my free time(last 3 months). After that, it went to reviewed-decision pending. In about April, 3rd week they admitted me. So totally it took about 3-4 months for a decision.

I live currently off-campus, right next to the campus actually. I am actually closer to the campus then some of the residences which they refer to as "on-campus".

I plan to shift to on campus housing starting next year though as there's always something fun going on in the residences and its good to meet new people in general. I recommend everyone to try on campus housing for at least one term.

Montreal is very cheap compared to the other provinces. Rent is cheap, usually 600 for a single studio or sometimes a living room+bedroom+bathroom which includes heating/electricity/hot water and sometimes internet. You get shared accommodation for 400 or so aswell.

I dont spend much on day to day expenses because I live so close to the campus so there's no transportation costs. Food is cheap here, primarily pizza if you like it is very affordable. I dont usually eat breakfast since I dont have time because of classes. You can live pretty well for 100$/week on food. If you buy groceries and stuff, you probably will use lesser then that.

Anyother questions, let me know. Oh and guys the McGill Campus is a magical place, the most beautiful thing you'll see in Canada. I feel lucky everytime I pass the campus gates in the morning. There's just something about this place that makes you feel alive. Everyone is super friendly and helpful aswell.

sounds like McGill is a great university! nice to know you are having fun so far But, hoping the weather isn't as bad as they are telling me about...

By the way, I am still learning basic french, is french quite mandatory in the streets of Montreal? or with the people?

thanks again for these infos

It is terribly cold in winter but it is very nice in the summer and fall.

No, not at all in Montreal. You don't really need to speak French. The only issue is that the signs on the streets are in French but you will get used to them anyway.

I dont know any french either but i dont notice it at all. Infact I havent thought about it till you mentioned it now. Everyone here knows english, if you can speak french good for you but even if you cant no problem.

Hello all, I am also an applicant to McGill's ECE program for September 2013. I applied for MEng - Thesis. From what I saw on gradcafe, I believe McGill admits are usually available from early to mid march. By the way, does anyone have any info on whether external funding increases an applicant's chances of getting in?
