<p>College grades have nothing to do with how much money you earn in your life!!!</p>
<p>Is ryerson, </p>
<p>Ryerson is a very low tier university, you’re better off aiming for York and UofT (Queen’s is widely regarded as the best business school). In regards to FAFSA, I know that McGill accepts it but public institutions here are generally lower price than American institutions, so don’t worry too much.</p>
<p>Just a question, why are you not pursuing education in the U.S (Isn’t it the best place for universities)? Get into an ivy league school and you’ll live a very comfortable life. Don’t expect to make a big salary in Canada, expect lots of taxes and you may not like the climate. It was so cold yesterday that my high school was shut down for the day, and public transport was also stopped.</p>
<p>Just for the experience and I like Toronto. Also the lower tuition prices, and I am not a top tier student at all. My stats are a 3.5 weighted gpa, and 5 ap classes, rest honors. 1560 super score on sats, and and a bunch of extracurricular activities. </p>

<p>Queen’s or U of T for engineering? I’m done first year and I’m transferring out of Carleton.</p>
<p>Also, is rez only offered first year at both these schools?</p>
<p>What would Canadian Unis like McGill and UofT prefer from international students :</p>
<p>A levels or SAT’s? Would taking both and doing well put me in an advantage? Anyone been in this situation before?</p>
<p>Canadian Universities do not look at SAT scores.</p>
<p>That’s not true, they look at SAT scores for US students.</p>
<p>Hey! How difficult is ILOT award to get from UBC? I have 5As 1B in A level.</p>
<p>Well as an International student what would they prefer A levels to SAT’s? Would they consider it a good application if i attempted both? And do they care at all about recommendation letters and testimonials? </p>
<p>I’m more keen on UofT though so if you have info regarding UofT itself specifically then all the better</p>
<p>Guys why are you all stressing about admissions to Canadian universities? All you need is low 80’s, and you’re almost guaranteed to get in (As long as you show you can pay, since you’re an international). No extracurriculars (For most), no recommendation letters or testimonials. You’re confusing our universities for the Ivy League.</p>
<p>What would be the SAT and A level Equivalent of ‘low 80s’?</p>
<p>Hi, my son moved from U.S in the middle of Junior year to London Ontario. He was in IB program in U.S and had around 93% average in 9th and 10th grades. He is trying to keep the average around that but do you think this move will hurt him in any way to get into Watertloo or UofT?. He is canadian citizen. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Hi, I am a student from Guatemala currently applying to Mcgill and University of Toronto in order to study economics. I wanted to know what are their full cost of attendance, just including tuition and room and board. Thank you.</p>
<p>Cheerup6, they will consider the circumstances, but a move from America to Canada shouldn’t be much of a switch that it could affect his grades. Just ensure his average remains above 90%, and he has a high chance of getting in. </p>
<p>gtstudent123, tuition costs are available on the UofT and Mcgill websites, and they usually include special costs for international students (With room/board, food packages included). Visa fee’s, plane tickets, and all of the misc. fees and dues that internationals usually pay are not included, so be sure to discuss those with your family. Ex.: If McGill costs 33,000 a year for internationals, be sure to bring much more in order to survive and get by. Canada is an expensive country compared to the U.S, so don’t rely on the tuition fees to represent what you need for the rest of your endeavor.</p>
<p>Hi, I wanted to know whether in Canadian Universities (Specifically UToronto, UMcGill, UWaterloo), are we locked into the program we have applied for? Is there any flexibility in the major? For instance, if I want to shift from Engineering to Pure Sciences, is it Possible in the aforementioned universities?
Also, is this major flexibility also valid for radical changes (such as, from sciences to humanities), as is the case in the United States?
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!</p>
<p>Anyone ???</p>
<p>Ive been reading this forum from 1st post to the last. This topic definitely needs to be a lot more active. And what happened to the OP? anyways. Im having some trouble also. </p>
<p>Im a sophomore in an american school. Well I most likely want to attend a canadian university for personal reasons and just overall how I like their living style and their way of living better than us. I mean its not much difference but I like it more.
Im just a sophomore. It means i have quite some time to keep my gpa up. I have an 88 average so far if you add my freshman year. The thing is, the universities here in canada is so much easier to get in for canadian citizens compare to internationals. … Or just US because we have to show SAT Scores. Most students show at least 700s - 800s each section. That’s just almost impossible for me. And the international fee is slightly a bit higher compare to the colleges i want to go to. Like SUNY Buffalo. Is only around 10k. And RIT is 33k ! Thats 10k higher than just average international fee for canadian universities. I also have to take in consideration that its so easy for canadians to get in and hard for americans to get in … Should I even try? I think i could remain an 88 average overall. Which is about 3.3 and note im taking IB classes atm and i will be taking tons of ap classes next year. Canadian universities dont even accept financial aids most of them which kinda made me lose hope because only my mom supports me and we have a huge financial problem. Another thing is google isnt helping much. I don’t know which is the easiest university to get in in canada for americans. (International). I barely know half of the university’s requirement. Like whats the gpa or the sat score. Or what they look at the most. What i really want is what canadian universities look at in an american application. And how hard it is to get in? Is it all aboutthe money? Do you think i will be able to get in with an american gpa of 3.3 ? Universities im going after is like u of t, york , ryerson , … UBC. thankyou ! Sorry for long post guys. I really need information. I just cant find any.</p>
<p>Jessica, I can’t possibly answer every question you have but have a look at the OUAC site</p>
<p>[Ontario</a> Universities’ Application Centre](<a href=“http://www.ouac.on.ca/]Ontario”>http://www.ouac.on.ca/)</p>
<p>All the information you could want or need about Ontario universities will be there. You can find links to each school’s website and you can find admissions info and fee info, with contact information for the bursars’ offices where you can discuss financial aid for internationals. All Canadian universities will have American students attending, so the schools can certainly answer your questions about what the requirements and costs are for you. Good luck.</p>
<p>I am just wondering students with common grades get into fairly good universities like UT, McGill, UBC, can they follow the college courses? Or how can they achieve high GPA? Is it not very challenging for academics in any of these three universities? Thanks very much for reply!</p>
<p>PS: does anyone know about the architecture program offered in three universities? I am sure to pursuit, so which one is more professional or prestigious?Thanks!</p>
