So I've heard. The only thing that makes me nervous about the Qualifying Year is that I've heard of other applicants who got the minimum required GPA to be recommended to the MSW by the end of their QY, and still didn't make it. That seems like a cruel waste of tuition money/hopes. In any case, French is not a problem for me personally. I've lived my whole life in Montreal.

Fluency in French is still a requirement (or at least very heavily weighed as they say their placement opportunities for non-French speakers is very 'limiited'); it makes sense when you think about it since you have to be bilingual to work in most places in Montreal, especially in the public sector. I also applied to McGill's qualifying year with a BA as my first choice, and I was told by their admissions person that all answers for the QY were going to be forwarded by the end of this week. (faints) I think I mentioned on the first page of this thread that I was worried about my hours not making the cut, but felt pretty secure about my academic credentials. 

That's got to be one of the most outrageously stupid and irresponsible things I've ever heard from a would-be graduate student. What did you say to her after she told you this? Anything other than outright incredulity and castigation was a mistake.

Anyways, I don't know if I would bother snitching, if she has to forge her own recommendation, she's probably not the best candidate around....getting caught doing something like this and your chances of a post-graduate degree pretty much vanish. If you were to tell on her, who would you tell? I'd think the Dean of your school would be the best, he/she would likely come down on this girl with a VENGEANCE, as it casts a shadow on all of the students from your school attempting to go to graduate school.
