According to the University's website, the below is the conversion scale for degrees from Nigeria

Nigerian CGPA to McGill CGPA
4.0/4.0 or 5.0/5.0 - Equivalent to 4.0/4.0
3.5 to 3.99/4.0 - Equivalent to 3.3/4.0
4.5 to 4.99/5.0 - Equivalent to 3.3/4.0
3.0 to 3.49/4.0 - Equivalent to 3.0/4.0
4.0 to 4.49/5.0. - Equivalent to 3.0/4.0

I had 4.4/5.0, so I chose 3.0/4.0 ( McGill University scale). If you had a CGPA of 3.86/4.0 in Nigeria, your McGill University converted CGPA would be 3.3/4.0.
You are correct by selecting 3.3/4.0

There isn't any specified word count on the University's website. I believe SOP shouldn't be more than two pages.

Thank you. I uploaded my academic transcripts, CV and personal statement.

I got an email from MCF McGill this morning instructing me to proceed with my application. I just submitted my application and the application fee was waived.

Grit2943:
No I haven't. I am awaiting a feedback from them.

Grit2943:
No, my recommenders have not been contacted. I think MCF McGill stated that recommenders would only be contacted at the tail end of the scholarship selection process.

chrisseun:
This is McGill’s response..

“Thank you for your interest in the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at McGill University. Your application is still being reviewed. We will be in touch with a decision in the coming weeks.”

Calm down bro. So far your transaction was successful, the rest now lies with UI. I also payed my fees today and this same issue was what took me there cos i don't joke with money.
They have server issues for now but i was assured it'll reflect on my portal very soon.
