moneyfaery Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 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.Better start working hard then! The average shouldn't be hard to attain but as for the application... hmm, no fun.Either way, thanks for the info. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greaterthaninfinity Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Canadian universities are not prestigious in the same way that American universities are, if you know what I mean. Canadian universities tend to be "lopsided" whereas American universities tend to be more "well-rounded". Certain programs at Canadian universities will be absolutely amazing whereas others in the same university are not prestigious at all. For example, Schulich at York is one of the most respected business programs in Canada (and arguably internationally as well) but York is not really renowned for its science programs.

__inthemaking Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Anybody knows how good are the business schools of UBC and U of T? And also which would you consider is the university (canadian) with the best business school?I would consider the best Canadian business schools to be: Queen's (commerce) > York (Schulich) > UBC > UT > Western (Ivey).

Aliaandraa Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm from Canada,and I know I'm only in IB1, but I can't help but to fret and worry and stress out about what university I would like to go, and basically, what I can get best out of which university.UFT does NOT recognize IB as much as you would like, because it already has plenty of brilliant (non-IB) students as it is. They don't really care about IB, well, in my experiences anyway.I'm completely torn between staying in Canada, (there's Waterloo, McGill, McMasters...) or going somewhere off in the US... where IB is 'supposedly' more well known...Though, personally, I think Canadian Universities, depending on which, of course... credit and is willing to give more to IB students compared to the US ones I've looked into.I could be wrong, but, all I'm saying is that... I hear people in my class talking about being "stuck" in Canada...and I wonder sometimes if I'm 'rotting' away... but really,Canada isn't that bad.

posse02 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Some of the Canadian Universities are not that bad actually,depending on what field you are interested in there are actually a number of excellent universities, take waterloo for example,but then there are a few that's ...And i dont know much about Mount Allison Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eblake Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Anybody knows how good are the business schools of UBC and U of T? And also which would you consider is the university (canadian) with the best business school?Rotman School of Business at U of T is good.and the Schulich School of Business at York <-- both my parents did their graduate degrees there and I lived there on campus with them, so I think it's the best one I'm completely torn between staying in Canada, (there's Waterloo, McGill, McMasters...) or going somewhere off in the US... where IB is 'supposedly' more well known...Not totally true, McGill is really keen on IB students and offer special scholarships for them.In general, Rotman and Schulich are great for business. Waterloo is best in Canada for math, accounting and arguably engineering. McGill's premed is definitely one of the best in the world. Wilfred Laurier has a really strong history department. OCAD for art, and I don't know about UBC. Edited December 18, 2008 by eblake Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen_jen Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 does anyone know any universities in Canada that have a strong department for science? maybe UBC? UT? I know Mcgill stands out a lot in Science but it is very competitive. I also heard that Mcgill and Queens are biased against students that are not from Ontario; is that true?

Supplementary applications depend on the program..I'm in the Health Sciences program which does require a supplementary application, but most other programs don't. Waterloo requires a supplementary application (called the AIF). Western generally doesn't. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneyfaery Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Did you have to write an AIF for waterloo?Seems kinda early for univs to be handing out acceptances. Waterloo said they received my app and were waiting on me to fill out my AIF, but that's it. Same with other univs. Ahhhh, I don't know.
