I have applied with a GRE score and therefore my checklist still says incomplete. Should I contact the Adcom for clarification if that's the case?

Hey All,

I submitted my application early round 3, and it is almost 4 weeks now, I haven't heard anything from the Institute (email or portal update).
Here is my profile:

51 Months of WE.

22 months as a software engineer and 29 months marketing(branding and communication - digital, print, ooh) an educational institute.

3.33 GPA in B.Tech CSE

730 GMAT.

Any ideas if I should expect a call and if yes, then by when?

Hello Asinine23 !

You should be getting a interview call based on your profile and my research on the school.

I have submitted my application on 30th Jan and my checklist got completed a day latter.
I am also waiting for a reply.

Have you received any update since then?

Hello !

Last communication which I received was of successful submission of the application.
My application's status on the McGill portal is "submitted".
I think they might have reviewed your application today. Can you check your application's status on the portal ?

Thanks !

You can contact them after a few days, it definitely takes them a few days to update the checklist.

I got the result after one week, did you ask when you can get the result during interview? It is one of the most important questions you should have asked. They usually give you some estimated time since they have adm committee meeting regularly to make decision.

I think it is normal to wait at least 4 weeks before you get an interview invitation. But if you already have some result from other school, I think you can send an email to ad com to tell them that if your application is still under consideration since you already have an offier and you need to make decision soon. Otherwise, you should wait one or more two weeks.

Hi Guys,

I've applied for the Round 3 and submitted the required documents after submitting the application.
Since my language of instruction for Undergrad was English,I've not appeared for the English proficiency test and this section is coming as pending in my checklist and it hence says my checklist is incomplete.
Is it okay to leave the status like that or are there any inputs required from my end?

TIA

Hi Samreen,

Please email McGill once so that they can rectify this and change the status, for me the same thing happened because I wrote the GRE instead of GMAT. Since I didn't message them earlier, the application which I submitted on the 14th of Jan was finally deemed complete only on the 28th of Feb. So it is in your best interests to write them once and inquire regarding the same

Guys I need your HELP please !!!

I applied to McGill for a Masters in Management early January (my checklist was marked complete on Jan 10th). It has been in review for a week now, and i'm freaking out because i haven't gotten any response. So i'm thinking if the adcom was interested in my profile they would have called me for an interview.
McGill is my dream school and first choice so i wanted to ask if anyone had a similar experience ???
Thank you guys so much !!!

Hey,

I haven't heard from them either.
I did write to Pina, who is a part of the admissions team and was kind enough to inform that no decision has been rendered on my application yet. You may write to her too.

Let me know what happens!

Hi Guys,

Understand that Desautels follows a rolling admission process but I wanted to know roughly how long after the "Round" deadline does Desautels get back to you?

Thanks in advance
