McGill’s cut-off, by year

McGill’s cut-off is the lowest average it admitted. It is an absolute minimum, not a target. Aim well above it. Cooking means at least 3 points above the 2025 cut-off — the biggest one-year rise McGill’s own table shows.

What each rating means here

cooking (definitely getting in)
Your average clears the latest cut-off by at least as much as this university's cut-offs have ever risen in a single year.
slightly cooked (borderline)
Your average clears the latest cut-off, but by less than this university's cut-offs have risen in a single year, so a rise like that would put you below it.
cooked (not getting in)
Your average is below the latest cut-off, the lowest average admitted that year.
