Cut-off GPA to transfer to McGill, UofT or Waterloo?

McGill and UofT in business; Waterloo in computer science. Undergrad for both.. I'm stressed out. I should have 3.85-3.9 on a 4.0 scale by the end of this semester. Should that be enough? I called the admissions office and the lady I spoke with had no clue. I also asked this on other forums.. If you don't know, then would you happen to know what cut-offs at top business schools in Canada are in general? I'm wondering if I should be applying to more places than just McGill

Thanks

I think you should be good. What school are you transferring from? If you come from another university with 3.8, you can even try Western Ivey.

 

Concordia.. I wanna get out as soon as possible. Ivey would be a great idea, but I think I'd have to do an extra year, being from Quebec. I'd probably only relocate for graduate studies or for computer science at Waterloo

Thanks a lot for your input by the way. Does anyone else have any idea?

 

Hi, I have been applied to both JMSB and McGill for a BCom. I have been admitted to JMSB and waiting for McGill's answer. I am a transfer student. I was just wondering how bad is JMSB and why did you want to transfer so bad out of Concordia? I know this is from 2 years ago but if you could answer I would be happy. Thanks.
