PortPath researches criteria from public sources and can be incomplete or out of date. Always verify against the program’s official announcement before relying on it. PortPath never predicts admission chances.

Overview

McGill's Computer Science bachelor's admissions are primarily academic and prerequisite-based through the Faculty of Science (or B.A. & Sc. route), using McGill's 'Top 5' Grade 12 average plus required math/science courses. Portfolio and a statement of purpose are not standard parts of review; English proficiency tests may be required for applicants who do not meet an exemption.

Academics & GPAHigh

This is the core selection factor: McGill reviews your 'Top 5' Grade 12 academic courses, including the program prerequisites, and the Science group's math/science average is the key competitive signal.

Bar to clear: Top 5 around 91%, math/science around 89%

Test scoresLow

Conditional and secondary: McGill may require proof of English proficiency unless exempt, but SAT/ACT are not core for this program and are mainly relevant only to certain applicant groups.
