Hi Everyone, I'm hoping to apply directly to PhD programs following the completion of my Bachelor's degree next year. I plan to apply to UBC, UToronto, McGill, and UAlberta, but I'm open to well-funded programs at other institutions, as well. Most political science faculties claim to admit "exceptional students" directly to their PhD program following the completion of a Bachelor's degree if the student has a 3.7 GPA or greater, plus excellent references. However, as most students who are accepted to PhD programs have already completed their Master's degree, I am curious: 1. What percentage of students who apply to PhD programs without a Master's degree are offered admission? 2. If you were admitted to a PhD program immediately after the completion of your undergraduate degree, what was your CGPA? 3. What was your average only in political science (or your related major)? In case it helps: It will not be a problem for me to secure outstanding references, I have an "A" average in political science courses, and a 3.85 CGPA. Any other relevant information would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance! Jessica
