Is there a way to get into McGill University through other means if my grades are not good enough?

Community service - things that show leadership skills. They're looking for more than just good grades, they want well rounded people. So...try to impress them with something you've done that contributed to your community.\n\n\nAnd...if you don't succeed, try an online university.

Yeah, you can get into Harvard.  It's called tresspassing. :) \n\n\nBut what you could actually do is go to another college, get amazing grades, then apply for graduate school at Harvard.\nGood luck!!

If your overall GPA isn't great, but you improved in your senior year, and you can explain your situation in your essays, then colleges tend to view that well. The good thing is that your most recent grades are good, and you now seem to have your depression under control. This is a positive thing. \n\nIf U Minn doesn't accept you, then yes, you can attend a community college and then transfer. In fact, you may want to call U Minn and see if they have a "transfer compact" with any particular community colleges in the state. In these sorts of compacts, the University would have an established relationship with a community college, guaranteeing all of the graduates of that community college admission, or those with over a certain GPA. So, it's possible that you could attend community college for two years, get your associates, apply to U Minn, and be guaranteed admission. Call them and ask if such a thing exists. \n\nAlso speak to them about your situation and see what they think about your chances for admission. And apply there, because you never know. Again, your recent grades are good, your grades improved, and you've gotten your depression under control. Even if your overall GPA is a bit lower than they normally admit, they may put more weight on your recent grades and allow you entrance. Worth a conversation at least!

contact the guidence office and ask them for a copy of your transcripts, they can either send them to you or you can pick them up

Check with the college you wish to attend. Sometimes they have early admission sometimes they don't.

Er I think that you should have taken part in the Joint Admission Exercise that was quite way over in February or so, right after the O level results were released. Otherwise, you can always go to the polytechnic's admin office to negotiate with the principal or the admin people. I'm sure they'd help. Usually, Singapore institutions (excluding Universities) do not allow for registering online by directly using their websites.

Go to the site of the university you want to apply to. There should be a contact page where you can contact them.

Go talk to the guidance counselor at the college and enroll.\n\nYou have to take the jump and get back into the academic pool.

You may need to apply through the central admissions unit - http://www.ucas.co.uk/

~Well, you could try applying.  If all else fails and one or the other of the tests is required for admission, you might consider taking the test.  Short of that, you could apply to a school that doesn't require the test and transfer later.  If I was considering applying to a college, I would be writing to the college admissions office, not YahooAnswers, but I guess things have changed since I graduated.

Only if you have a high GPA, involved in school and the community (i.e. clubs, sports, volunteer work.) I suggest you study more and then retake it.

I had a lot of the same issues--I go to Dartmouth now.  Still have very bad depression, but that's another issue.  But yes, McGill should understand.  However, you will need a letter verifying these things unfortunately (from your school guidance counselor generally).  McGill presents a whole other issue because I do think Canadian students get preference.  I wish you all the best, honey.  I think you can get in--just make sure you have really good essays and good recommendations.  Just remember, whatever is, is for the best.  Did you take any SAT IIs?  Those scores often count for a lot.  If you have any more questions, just add it to details--I will check later.  Honestly, all the luck in the world to you, I'll be glad to help you in any way I can.

Absolutely yes!!! In fact you have lots of options. Check around in your area, or do a country wide search if you want to go away. They will be very open about their GPA requirements. You may not be able to get a merit scholarship but you can get accepted.

Try to work out on verbal more, It is what matters for getting an admission in a reputed institution though the total score is somewhat less. anyway without much preparation also you can make in quantitave and speaking. \n    Anyway Dont waste a bit of time and \n    "ALL THE BEST"

All you can do is apply...\n\nMy suggestion would be to go to your local community college and then transfer.  If you have great grades there, you can get into pretty much any college.

Actually in some cases you can go to college without having completed high school.  There are exams called "challenge for credit" and some schools will accept some live experience as credit.  In some provinces of Canada you can be admitted to some universities on probation after you have turned 21, even if you don't have all the qualifications.  The probationary period gives you the opportunity to prove yourself.\n\nI would suggest you begin to check around.  Write letters.  Ask questions.  Put together a portfolio of what you have  done that you think qualifies for you for college without a high school diploma.  YOu might be surprised about how things might go.  Anything is possible.\n\nI hope this helps.
