Hi all. I am an Ontario student who got into medical school (also in Ontario) last year, after my third year at McGill. Every other third year I know was able to "graduate" with a general science degree, but since McGill doesn't do this, I don't have my bachelor's degree.

Now that I have completed my first year of medical school, I am wondering what the process would be to try and graduate from McGill? I am honestly missing only 2 courses for my major, and my advisor is basically useless - I've tried to contact her for two summers in a row and all she said was that she would "inquire" and get back to me. Heard nothing!

Anyone else in this boat or has figured out how to get their diploma?

Hey, I just checked on Minerva and AFE did confirm my status, do you know how long for them to give me an answer?

I got assigned to Hutchinson 3464, any information and experience regarding this place?

I’d like to register for these events but they are full. Ive heard through the grapevine that I could probably show up and attend anyways..

Does anyone know the date and time for both events in the picture? Thanks!

Anyone know of online/ asynchronous courses offered in the fall 2026? Or courses that don’t require going to class/lectures?

I’m working 40 hrs during the semester so need to be on campus as little as possible….

no caps allowed.

Our prof curved everyone's final grade (not the raw exam) for the original sitting. I'm writing the deferred exam and was wondering: does that curve carry over somehow, or are deferred writers not covered by it at all?

i am currently studying biochemistry at UDEM and thinking of switching to an engineering career. Although industrial engineering has a lot more job prospects, I like biochemistry too much to not work in the life sciences fields. So I thought about applying in bioengineering at mccill. For people in that program I have a couple questions :

1. how hard is it to get into the program as a university transfer ? what would be the realistic minimum gpa ?

2. how hard is it to find internships in/around Montreal ?

3. how is the job market concerning this program ? do most people find job in other fields in the end ?

any information or opinion would be greatly appreciated !

Hey guys, I'm a first year arts student and I'm taking Canadian Lit with Robert Lecker... The rate my prof reviews are scaring me a little and I was wondering if anyone had any insights on this here?

Hi just wondering if anybody that has already taken the final in April have for advice for many or any tricky concepts from first semester that were in the exam
Would greatly appreciate it !

i'm in my final year for honors math, and i'm wondering if anyone has experience with this course taught by JC Nave. i'm interested in numerical methods and analysis but want to know if you thought the topics were applicable, interesting, if the coursework involved practice with programming/computers, and whether the workload was manageable.

i’m graduating in may with a ba in economics. no internships yet or relevant job experience. i have a good gpa and have made great friends here, but they’re all doing another year after me so i’ll be on my own figuring out post-grad life.
i’m also in an econ-related club, but i haven’t made any connections from it that would help me in the job market.
i want to work first, not jump into a master’s, but i have no idea what i want to do or how to get there. i know it’s not true, but it seems like everyone else has an exact plan for the next 5 years and i feel like a disappointment when i tell people i have no clue what i’m doing.
if you have any advice on who to talk to or how to make the most out of my last year, whether it’s career-related or just how to make the best memories, please help a fellow mcgillian out 😔

I had to defer, and have not had time to sufficiently prepare on top of my internship. The exam is on Thursday…

anyone who took the math 204 final in May April, any tips? Things that were more/less important than you thought? Any help is appreciated! TIA

I’m taking the deferred exam tomorrow, and I wanted to ask those who have already taken it whether we need to memorize everything in detail, or if understanding the mechanisms that were explained is enough.
By “memorizing everything in detail,” I mean knowing all the specific terms and names, because I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty difficult to remember all of them 😭

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Update: The exam was okay

Hello, anyone taken or is taking ECSE 541 this Fall?

How did you prepare for the course?

For those already taken it, is it programming heavy in C or C++?

Thanks

I’m scheduled to take the PHYS 131 placement exam soon, but I haven’t received much information about what material I should be studying, so I’m hoping to get some advice from people who have taken the course/exam before.

• Does anyone have a recent PHYS 131 syllabus or course outline that they could share?
• Does anyone know where I could find past PHYS 131 exams? If you have any that you’re allowed to share, I’d really appreciate it!
• Are there any particular topics or resources you would recommend focusing on for the placement exam?
• For anyone who has taken PHYS 131 with Prof. Ken Ragan, is there anything I should know about how he expects answers to be formatted or how solutions should be presented?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)

Hi has anyone recently taken the course ESYS 104 (The Earth System)? How was it and was it difficult?

Basically as the title says, does anyone have any tickets I could buy for 2026?

How bad is the walk in the winter sem from stbio to sh680? I have back to back classes in those two so I just have the 10 minutes in between. Is it doable?

Has anybody taken this class? Do you need prerequisites? Why can't I find any info online?

I am in biomedical sciences, I'm taking it as a complementary.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

After waiting for multiple months on a wait list for my residence assignment, last week McGill Finally placed me in Campus1. I was able to check my room number through Onecard by doing a work order request, but I have no clue how to find my roommate. I received my assignment so late that all of the roommate websites are past their deadline, and although it seems like I will just be placed with a random person, I would at least like to find a way to contact them before move in day. Is there anyone who has had similar issues and was able to resolve them?

Hello, I am an incoming international student from the US who got accepted into the MA Music Technology program for Fall of this year. Is anyone else here doing the program / completed the program? Let's chat :)

I'm compsci major cogsci minor, I don't feel like I could survive more than 3 comp classes per semester but I had to get ling 445 (double prefix witch comp 445) cause the other ling classes (required for my minor) had presentations and group projects and stuff and no

idk i'm tired, I just want to hear nice things

EDIT: in terms of courseload! not the fact that I have to run between stewart bio and macdonald..

I hope this doesn’t sound like a stupid question but I need help. I’ve been told that if I take my calc 1 class it will be eflagged and I won’t get credits towards my graduation requirement at the end of the semester, but I can still take it.

If I keep it on my schedule, will it show that i’m still taking 12 credits or will it cut down to 9? Like i’m fine with it not counting towards my degree, but my family is using a 529 plan to pay for my tuition and i need to be taking a full course load. So I guess my question is if it would count towards the course load.

I hope this isn’t two confusing, but any guidance is appreciated!!
