KLSmash Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think McGill toned it down a notch this year caus some of my friends with very average predicted grades got acceptedWell it depends on the programs they got into and number of applicants - no?Usually McGill, UofT and UBC compete for the top spot in rankings. But compared to their actual Ivy counterparts, they are such obsecure schools. I doubt most Americans even know where BC is.Hah, isn't that a tad harsh? But I agree somewhat, Canadian universities are nowhere as well spoken of, in comparison to Ivy League schools. But they are a lot cheaper as the government subsidize the costs.

Guest heartarcade Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Our schools IB coordinator told us that Canadian universities are hungry for Ib students.. there is a possibly that some of you may get scholarships. Everyone's already said the best Canadian Unis.. McGill is famous for medicine if that's what you're interested in. Plus, Montreal isn't too bad and it is bilingual Edited July 18, 2008 by heartarcade Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

__inthemaking Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 McMaster, I believe, is well-known for business. I got an offer there too ^.^Really? I always thought McMaster was just known for its health sciences program.I always think of York/Schulich, Queen's and Western for business programs in Canada.

hamani Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have always said that going to Canada is much better than going to America. The thing is that Canada was and still always mesmerizes me with its culture diversity and great universities. And to answer your last question. Ofcourse!! UBC!! Concordia!! McGill!! UofT!!hoping to get into Trent however! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdrcill Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Does U of Toronto have an engineering program? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Does U of Toronto have an engineering program?Yes it does. Although I would recommend Waterloo if you plan on doing engineering since Waterloo has a co-op program. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've heard of Simon Fraser, my cousin goes there. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyfaery Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Canadian universities are cheaper (if you're in Canada anyway)Waterloo's pretty good because of the co-op program Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's something such as Music Performance, Waterloo is not that great anymore. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyfaery Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) It depends what you're going into in university. If it's something such as Music Performance, Waterloo is not that great anymore.IMO, Waterloo was only ever good for its co-op, math, engineering, and computing. I think there's also a pharmacy/med building there now and I know a few people writing upcoming MCATs from there.Edit:Heh, McMaster is only famous for its Health Sciences (pre-med) program..not really known internationally. And I've heard of Simon Fraser, my cousin goes there.I didn't know McMaster was good for pre-med. That propels it to the top of my list then.

__inthemaking Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) I didn't know McMaster was good for pre-med. That propels it to the top of my list then. Haha, yeah. It's a 4 year Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) program. And what's awesome about it is that McMaster has a medical program..and you don't need to take the MCAT to get into it. Mac also has it's own hospital too, very convenient.The Health Sci program is very competitive. Only 160 students are accepted each year and 3000+ people apply. Everyone accepted MUST have a minimum grade 12 average of 90% and a stellar supplementary application or they're rejected.
