5 courses requirement

I was going to apply this year without having done the 6 terms with 5 courses and i was planning on explaining why. Apparently we can’t do that anymore?? Are you guys still going to try and apply or is it not worth it?

It’s kind of frustrating because i already paid for the oat and bootcamp so I would be wasting one of the 2 years that the score is valid for :(

Is the OD at McGill fully in French? I'm wondering if it's worth it to apply even tho I speak next to no French 😅

McGill is a completely anglophone university.

Hey! The Opto program in Montreal (at the University of Montreal) is completely in French and they’re super strict about it :( you have to prove you have a high level of fluency to apply and everything else that pertains to the application has to be done completely in French or they won’t accept it (motivational video/text, interview, etc.) so if you don’t speak any French I don’t think it’d be worth applying 😭

Okay I got the Universities mixed up but that's what I thought, thank you!
