<p>thanks for your replies . . </p>
<p>the COA in each of the school’s is about the same . . around $40k to $45k a year. . .</p>
<p>i don’t mind the weather too much . .i have heard seattle has a pretty gloomy weather though (but as i said i dont mind it) . . .</p>
<p>atmosphere should be somewhere in between laid back and too cut-throat . . i mean it shouldn’t become impossible to graduate in 4 years! :)</p>
<p>in texas a and m, washington the major hasn’t been assigned . .</p>
<p>in mcgill also the major isn’t assigned but the letter says that after the first year i can freely choose my major.</p>
<p>in purdue i have been given my major.</p>
<p>in georgia tech also i have been given my major.</p>
<p>in wisconsin madison i have not been given a major and it says a general BS degree.</p>
<p>in waterloo i have the co-op computer science program and in british columbia i have been given my major.</p>
<p>i have a $20k scholarship in both mcgill and waterloo spread over 4 years.</p>
<p>btw i am international student and i didnt get financial aid in any place.</p>
<p>so please do help . . i dont know if it will be really hard to get my major after the first year so i am unable to use that as a deciding factor . .</p>
