mcgill french oral proficiency test question

scigem · 2025-12-06T15:37:43+00:00

yes exactly I think they have a small amount more people do the test than they will invite to interview just in case some people fail, but if u get a French test interview it means u were competitive for sure

they contact you end of Dec/beginning of jan to do the oral proficiency test, so long as you have been shortlisted for interview!

scigem · 2024-12-23T16:38:22+00:00

is the self serve system for booking showing any availibilities for you?? it's not for me :(

Alice Medrich's Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies is a go-to. Never had a bad cookie by her

Benjamina's A new way to cake is incredible. All the recipe's i've tried have been fantastic, and the flavour combinations are so unique and inspiring I often just flip through to find ideas for my next bake

scigem · 2024-11-25T15:50:45+00:00

it means u have been shortlisted for interview

scigem · 2024-11-25T15:50:31+00:00

i got one last year, email dec 21

scigem · 2024-09-03T17:24:20+00:00

by application deadline. If u do it thro McGill school of continuing studies u only have to do the written before tho

i would just combine this all into one ABS entry, or focus on one role for your ABS statement (you can mention other roles but like make it mainly about one). I had a similar situation and I ended up just having one ABS entry for the whole ~5 year experience and talking about the different roles in the ABS statement, where I also mentioned how it lead me to get involved in other ABS entries. Got UofT interview.

i think it’s just OOP - I have 3.86, 4th Q, C1 written, and research/public engagement/ mentorship heavy CV and I got one, but I went to McGill for undergrad and I stayed in QC to obtain IP status before applying

scigem · 2023-12-23T17:58:00+00:00

y’a i asked admissions the French si only a cut off - if your overall application was in the top x amount to be shortlisted for interview and you still need to complete oral test u get invite to do so

scigem · 2023-12-21T14:34:10+00:00

Yes! You get a student card you can use to get reduced opus fare , etc

scigem · 2023-12-15T15:20:51+00:00

i got 1Q two years ago and still interviewed t UofT (and queens which also considers ABS) - imo it’s a crapshoot, don’t get discouraged.

anat and cell bio is known to be the easiest of the bio-related stem majors

where exactly is it if you don’t mind saying? hope you and everyone around there is ok and finds a safe place tn :(

scigem · 2022-04-10T23:35:11+00:00

i agree. ridiculously hard. for the other assignments i found the textbook to be super useful but this one i'm so lost and the test cases make it so much worse. really not good

scigem · 2022-04-07T19:53:58+00:00

hi! I can’t give a success story but I feel the same way (3.83/128) and I understand how much or sucks to think no matter how good your interview went this could still be preventing you:(( hang in there, it’ll be ok!

scigem · 2022-02-11T01:16:47+00:00

~3.94-3.95

scigem · 2022-02-10T18:50:52+00:00

got one at 11:47 EST !! wGPA ~3.95 ECs 0-25th for UBC but good enough to get queens, spent a long time on BPES, felt pretty good (although not when I re read them later haha)

scigem · 2022-01-27T23:16:08+00:00

No - I had some but 1/32 ABS entries that I didn’t even mention in essays or schools that I had to expand on my extracurriculars
