Nope I got in a week after march break, actually a week after I applied.......... (because I applied during March break). I was really shocked because I didn't have MHF4U or MCV4U completed and my Grade 11 math mark sucked (67%). They really only looked at the Grade 12 courses I completed (which was 5 because I fastracked). I feel like they're being really easy with their acceptances, especially when you look at their tweets on macadmit twitter (you should contact them there if you are worried they pretty much tell you if you will get in with whatever average you have and sometimes even tell you that they're sending you an email in 2 mins lol). If you are above the cutoff in midterms then I think you are pretty much guaranteed acceptance. (I think it might be 82-83 I remember seeing a cutoff mark on their website before but I cant find it anymore for some reason... but I'm sure I saw it and it was either 82 or 83 ).

An average of 82% is required to keep the offer, so it seems like you are within the requirements with the 82.81

I want McMaster very badly!

I'm at 83.7% average and I don't think I'll get in.

They said the cut off was 84%

So yeah, to answer your question I'm still waiting but sadly, with no hope or expectation.

I'm also with you guys :| my avg is lower than both of yours! Well, we have like another month or two to know since we'll probably be waitlisted. Is Mcmaster both of your first choices?

Got into mac business and computer science on may 1st.

You guys will get accepted no worries, just be patient, stay strong, and pray. Their taking 600 students for business.

I'm pretty excited for mac this september. Really looking forward to meeting new people, making connections and going to different places. I'm sure all of your mindset is the same.

Excited to meet all you guys next year.

Good luck everyone!

Wow, congratulations.
It's kind of hard to be patient knowing more and more people are getting accepted, which means I have a less and less chance of getting in :| AH! I just want the wait to be over -__-
