Application Deadlines

• In order to ensure proper consideration, Web applications for the Fall term (September) must be submitted by January 15.
• The school does not normally admit students in the Winter term (January). Please consult the Music Admissions Office for exceptions.
• Applications received after these deadlines will be considered if places are still available.

Application information

• Application information should include detailed descriptions of the applicant's musical background, training, and statement of intent—including diplomas, certificates, and/or transcripts.
• Applicants applying to the Music Education concurrent program are asked to submit a letter of recommendation. References for Music Education should comment on an applicant's potential to be a music teacher. Applicants add the name and email address of the referee within the application. McGill will then send a request to the referee to submit the recommendation.   Note: Letters of recommendation are not required for all other programs.
• All supporting documents for undergraduate applications can be submitted within the application portal. See the Undergraduate Application Materials site for required materials.
• Once an admission decision is made, official transcripts are required to complete the admission file.
•  Recorded video auditions are due February 1 and should be uploaded to the portfolio section within the application portal.

Applicants are advised that satisfying the entrance requirements does not guarantee admission where instrumental and/or program places are limited.
