Hey, I dropped out of McGill Undergrad in my first year cause I completely bombed all my courses. Now i'm at OttawaU in a different program and getting As and Bs. I want to go back to McGill (i'm a complete reputation nazi, i admit) to finish off my degree. And i know for a fact that my current grade will drop if I go.

I also want to so postgrad studies, now: graduate above class average from a mediocre school, or graduate below average at a top school? Which one will increase my chances of getting into postgrad?

Does applying to McGill for postgrad from graduating from OttawaU sound realistic?

Ah - I love the credit system in Canada...the way you can swap uni's.

You may be wise asking this question on a Canadian focused forum, as most people who post on here are in the UK.

The importance of the reputation of your uni rests heavily on your discipline and what you plan to do next - entry to postgraduate courses are usually based on grades, and not the reputation of your alma mater.

I suppose one question to pose is will McGill want you back?
