I go to McGill and could not agree more! Thanks for posting this. It's such an accurate representation of what McGill is REALLY like. It's so hard to find real testimonies like this online that really paint a realistic picture of McGill for you before you actually go there. Hope this helps people.
@@janhumski2352 yeah that one surprised me too. I've never heard/seen anything like that either. I know that you can have office hours to discuss your grade with a prof, but usually it's pretty hard to get them to change much. The only case i know of with someone going from a C to an A was a grading mistake that had nothing to do with negotiation. The wine thing is super unprofessional and I havn't seen anything like that either. Everything else in the video seems pretty spot on though.
Library environment is the best to do your work. Also if you are doing research and want to spend the day on just thinking about one research problem, there are amazing cafes around the city where you can go and get a coffee and chill with some jazz music that's playing in the background. Works for me always. ;)
Are the classes graded on a curve or something, so there are only a limited amount of As given out? Or is it more that the proffesors are just really demanding?
Hello! Maybe (if you steel checking out this channel though) you can answer 1-2 of my questions, I would be extremely grateful. I am an international student and I have just applied for the undergraduate program in Mcgill. If I can contact you just for a couple of questions, it would be very helpful . Thank you!
I have a question, I am a 1st-year student here in the Philippines. Since I've discovered the "University of the People", an online class for people worldwide. I enrolled in an associate degree since they said that this online study can be taken even if I'm studying here at our country. However, I've received an email regarding the partner schools of UoPeople, and one of those is the McGill University and a chance to be admitted at this University. After watching your vlog, it concerns me that I can't do well in this university. And if given the chance to study at McGill, I think I will finish my degree here first for 4 years, and then hopefully pass the board exam, and get a 2 years work experience. So probably if I'm still alive, I'll be 26 when I continue my Computer Science associate degree there. May I ask what are your thoughts regarding my situation? It is my dream to live at canada and study there, but our situation doens't allow me. The only chance I could get is through University of the People's partnership but I need to work and save and all for every preparation. Is it still possible? Or an illusion?
I think it is a very big ambition, being in 1st-year college is really where your hopes and dreams are rising but I just wanted to ask what are your thoughts about this situation?
Well they are there for their education at an ENGLISH school. It’s not like their moving to Quebec to work and live there and either way it’s Montreal. Pretty bilingual city tbh even if it’s majority french you can easily get by with English especially if your just a student there.
McGill is incredibly hard, the students have unfailingly diligent work ethics, and it is a fantastic place to go to university. I am so beyond grateful for my experiences there! I miss McGill and Montreal all the time.
I went to McGill. It’s definitely a really tough school but I don’t know what that guy is talking about regarding grade adjustments. I didn’t know any profs who bumped up grades easily at all.
@@LittleVenator My 4th yr. son in Desautels wants to know which Profs, and what brand of wine does he need to get? In his experience, getting a prof to change a grade is near impossible.
I never heard of bribes or changing a grade without a valid reason .. I think in Science faculty, freshman year is the easiest and the one you will enjoy the most. It will only get harder after as the content becomes harder. Also for computer science degrees Mcgill is known to be theory based and that is true. They do not make group projects a big part of classes (I wrote so many proofs and so few actual code in 5 years)
Science U1 will kill you no jokes, I cried so much but if you can get past that it's a little bit better.. Also if you can create study groups, by all means do it (saved my grades so many times because we would go over everything together and we all understood some things better than others so it helped explaining the concepts)
Heyy I'm a international student trying to apply for fall 22 intake ... I wanna major in computer science/engineering and land a good job ! Is mc.gill really worth it ?
My aunt went here and is now a professor, also her boyfriend taught here until recently. I’m just gonna ask them questions all the time (they don’t teach at McGill now).
I've read that the average requirement for an undergraduate applicant is A-, and my country uses a percentage-based grading system. Does McGill convert your high school grades to the Canadian high school grading system?
Canadian high schools usually use a percentage-based grading system too. They probably have a way of converting it. There are lots of international students, especially from the United States, so they might have experience with it. Good luck with your applications!
@@alesha2079 well I can't say for biomedical engineering for sure, but I'm in computer science at McGill and it's a lot. You have to mentally prepare to work a tons and put lot of effort. As long as you're hardworking and motivated, you can do well. Just don't beat yourself too hard if you get bad grades, because it happens and you just have to work harder. :) 💪 (Ps: I didn't do that, and now I'm planning on changing my major :'), so it's really up to you, to see what kind of person you are). Goodluck tho!
@@PG-3462 are you sure that I won't be able to get an internship if I do not know french? And is it same if I go for a co-op program at one of the unis?
@@aayushituli3613 For the internship, it depends on what you're searching. If for example you study finance/accounting, finding an internship in Montreal is possible, but if you study for example civil engineering, then finding a job in Montreal would be very hard since the construction industry is almost 100% in french. However, if you don't find anything in Montreal you can always find an internship in another Canadian city
I want to start my main major next year(in Septemtember 2021)in McGill but I want to take English courses for January 2020 to practice English...Does anybody know when and how I can register(online or not)?
I have no real knowledge about any of those. I'm also not Canadian, but ever time I read McMaster or Western I have to think about the party videos :D (YT is Jack Denmo, I think)
KHALID Al muzini hi thx for the reply. May I know how Hamilton is like? Because i have heard mixed reviews from people. And also is McMaster engineering hard to get into?
What is/was your experience at McGill like?

Hate the people at McGill tbh
Freshman year classes being the hardest is SO TRUE, they're definitely trying to weed people out
Kristina Conte this is so reassuring, I am first year at McGill and the classes are kicking my butt
@@hereismika Hi i am from ALGERIA can i contact you FOR ASKING YOU ?
Any Idea about masters in computer science?
Thats amazing information about McGill University: ruclips.net/video/h77jCPVfOUU/видео.html
As a McGillian, I wish I could have known more about the grading scale. It can be super hard to get A’s🥲🥲🥲

Did you choose to study at McGill?
Dear MilkManTV, great videos and great interviews. If it’s not too much trouble can you also chat with graduate (Masters and Ph.D.) students?
Thanks for doing McGill. The guy at 2:30 😘😛
Hey can you interview MS students like this , not only undergrad .
It would be helpful to know if the grad and undergrad have different opinions.
Please do a video for USherbrooke if you can. Great video by the way!

Can you do something on film schools

You don't "go to" McGill. You "attend" McGill. That's the first thing I learned at McGill.
hey! :) could you develop what you mean by that?
@@ines2fenoyl756 "go to" implies travelling to. "Attend" means you are a part of it. You attend McGill. You attend a funeral. You attend a wedding.

Ask them about intramurals and sports etc.
I'm deciding between UofT and McGill for studying Architecture... Any recommendations or tips?
If undergrad I'd say McGill, UofT is highly ranked bc of grad programs but they really don't care about undergrad. Depends on your priorities though
What’s the lamp McGill is sponsoring?
Can you please do one for Humber College? :)
OMG, what a great video! You inspire me so much! :) :)))
Take up vitamin d3 during the fall season ull be okay look up cymbiotika d3k2 bottle. It’s worth it 👍👌
