any insights on JOB placement for faculty of science?</p>
<p>Do US universities (most importantly columbia, princeton, harvard, etc) understand mcgill’s grade deflation/bell curve policy as opposed to grade inflation at pleaces like columbia and brown</p>
<p>They know, whether or not they take into account… nobody knows. But the McGill degree, even one with less than perfect grades, impresses grad schools.</p>
<p>i really hope so because everyone i met there was like a’s are a rarity and be happy with b’s</p>
<p>is it THAT much work to get an A?</p>
<p>depends on the program. its harder than most school, but not impossible. as i’ve said before… ive met many kids with 4.0s in a bunch of faculties… meaning lots and lots of A’s. if you’re smart, work hard, and have good time management skills you can do it… but for some faculties/majors you shouldn’t expect A’s… cause in general they are a rarity for sure.</p>
<p>do u know anything in particular related to IDS and poli sci</p>
<p>i met a girl in management who told me dont expect to get any A’s in poli sci because its so tough</p>
<p>

<p>Depends on what kind of major, I guess? Faculty of science is wide, what are your career plans?</p>
<p>klmnop, what about psychology? any 4.0’s there? (faculty of science)</p>
<p>theres 4.0s everywhere… same as any school, just gotta dedicate yourself</p>

<p>It depends on the job market as well. I was there during the dot-com bubble. There used to be huge career fairs with tons of free stuff for anyone who wanted it. You graduated in CS, you got a job easily. Anyone with some programming skills could get hired. After the dot-com bubble, career fairs became rarer, much smaller events with no free stuff. Job placement has been a lot tougher across the board lately, and you need contacts. So make sure you talk to your profs and inquire.</p>
