Deadlines

  1. 15 January 2027

    Application deadline, overseas and US high school applicants
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Published as Friday, January 15, 2027, for anyone studying or last studying at a high school outside Canada, across Arts, Science, Engineering, Management, Education, Nursing, Architecture and Agricultural & Environmental Sciences.

    McGill states it with the year and the weekday attached — "Friday, January 15, 2027" — as the "Application deadline for Fall 2027 admission to undergraduate programs by applicants studying or who last studied in an overseas or U.S. high school", which is the group an IB candidate at a school in Denmark is in. No closing time is published on that page. McGill assesses on predicted IB results or, if you have them, on final ones.

    Hard deadline
    Details

    McGill's IB requirements page publishes 21 January without a year. So 2027 is expected rather than confirmed. Six days after the application itself, so it is not something to start after applying.

How places are decided

    • IB grades
    Ranked on predicted IB results, then final results; the 38 to 42 range is a guideline from recent years, not a rule for 2027, and minimums shift every year.
