Engineering in Canada

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>i am a canadian citizen living in the US and have applied for Electrical Engineering in Mcgill, UfT, UBC, Waterloo, Queens, Macmaster, UWO</p>

<p>I have been accepted to UBC, Mcgill, and McMaster, still waiting on others...
since i have close to 0 info on good engineering programs in canada, can you guys please help me decide which is best (not to presume im admitted to all).
I plan on getting my grad degree here in the US so please keep that in mind.
Also, the environments of the schools and cities are my concern too</p>

<p>thanks alot you guys</p>

<p>yeah seriosly howz the mcgill engineering prog ? ece to be specific</p>

<p>I don't know too many specifics about engineering, but Waterloo is really well-known for their maths and engineering. UofT is also a really big school with lots of funding, and it's located in a really nice city. If you want to go by reputation, waterloo has a huge reputation for engineering and math. Although, UofT shouldn't come too far behind Waterloo. Toronto's a much better place to live, I'd say, and it was ranked the #1 medical doctoral university in Canada by MacLean's.</p>

<p>I agree with bittersweet. This is what I think (for double E):</p>

<p>[Tier 1] Waterloo
[Tier 2] Queens
[Tier 3] Toronto / UBC / McGill
[Tier 4] McMaster / UWO</p>

<p>Waterloo is the GOD of all engineering. Queen's is also pretty good. The rest are decent. Hope this helps</p>

<p>thanks bittersweet and mcortex...
i should hear from queens and maybe toronto this week</p>

<p>the peopel that goto Mcgill: what can you all tell me about their engineering program?</p>

6

<p>whoa...really??? US and Canadian responses have different dates right???</p>

7

<p>yup, it seems as though everybody gets their responses before us Canadians do, especially if you're from Ontario.</p>

8

<p>mcortex: how far are your Tier 3 selections from Queens?</p>

9

<p>For responses to US applicants, McGill was posted on 3/18, Queen's is rolling (the fastest turn around of any school I applied to).</p>

10

<p>yea, why is it so fast for Americans? I don't understand why it's so hard for them to make a decision for Canadians, especially Ontario students, when we're so close and when they should understand our system the best.</p>

11

<p>i think its because American schools also answer more sooner than canadian ones.. so they wanna make sure the US students give then consideration since were payin so much $$</p>

12

<p>anyone else applying to engineering? or are there just 2 people</p>

13

<p>I am a canadian and I would agree the waterloo is the place to go for engineering
watch out tho, its compulsary Coop meaning if u dont do coop u fail. so the program is 5 years</p>
