<p>those people are obessed with shulich and other business programs </p>
<p>btw..shulich is apprently excellent for accounting</p>
<p>Congratulations Bittersweet!!!!! See U In The Fall!!!!</p>
<p>I don't think schulich's made any decisions yet. I was told by the admissions officers at Ivey that they actually accept a lot of people in third year. They've left like half the spaces for students entering from third year. They also said that they don't have that many students coming in from other universities, but not because they don't like students from other schools or anything. It's just because most people don't like to switch schools after two years and have to relocate themselves and start all over. But it is true that their regular business program is really not that great.</p>
<p>Just so this doesn't become a closed conversation between you all- I thought I'd drop a line to liven things up! I found out today (after a terrible day and an awful soccer match- I'm goalkeeper) that I was accepted to both McGill Arts and Western Social Science. I was waitlisted at McGill Arts and Sciences though- but it's all good! I was thrilled anyway! So yeah- sorry, I just had to tell somebody!</p>
<p>well congrats on ur admissions </p>
<p>so will u also be facing a dilemma now?...</p>
<p>buggzz, one thing about getting into ivey in 3rd yr you should keep in mind is that they won't pick you only because you have been attending UWO.. coz i read on their website that ppl applying to ivey in the 3rd yr from other univeristies will be given an equal chance.. and if you are already in UWO, they wont necessarily prefer you over someone from some other university.. note: this is only for ppl NOT accepted to the AEO program.
i'd say go to mcgill.. and i dont think that UWO is that great for business if you dont get into ivey.. if you plan on trying for ivey in your 3rd yr, you will have the same opportunity if you go to mcgill.. that way, you will be safe either way.. and i think that they limit the acceptances to around 300 a year.. so it would definately be tough getting accepted.</p>
<p>Can someone on this thread answer these question? I understand that McGill is a public university so does that mean admissions committees must give preference to Canadian taxpayer's kids? If so, is there some sort of quota for international admits? Also, if an applicant has dual citizenship - say British and Canadian, would it be better to apply to McGill as a Canadian?</p>
<p>it seems as if getting into all the universities you want to get into may not be such a great thing after all. It's a tough decision picking a university. Since these universities all have something great to offer it's like trying to compare apples to oranges. For ivey, if you didn't get accepted to AEO you might as well try in the third year, and I think they'd actually prefer if you didn't already attend UWO. The whole point of letting you study what you wanted in the first two years is to create a group of students by yr.3 who all have different perspectives and ideas to contribute. That's why I think they'd actually prefer students from other schools. But what do you do if you've already been accepted for AEO? Even if you go to UWO with AEO, you're not guaranteed a spot in the HBA program in yr.3. But with their reputation for inflated grades, I don't think keeping up an 80% average will be overwhelmingly challenging.<br>
About McGill being a public school..I'm sure they have some sort of quota for american and international students, although McGill apparently favours American students more than any other Canadian university. There's obviously also a quota for Canadian students as well, just like at every other school. The advantage of being a Canadian is that you pay the Canadian tuition. I don't think we get any preference over Americans or Internationals though. You might be better off applying as a Canadian..just because there is probably a smaller quota for international students.</p>
<p>Holy cow-Mcgill is a private university that receives public funds from the Canadian government</p>
<p>hi, I was recently admitted to the Mcgill faculty of management and was wondering if anyone knew anything about the different major concentrations?</p>
<p>After reading all the comments here, im actually moving towards mcgill ... i used to think western has a very good business program besides the ivey.. !!
but since i dont see western's normal business program anywhere in the rankings.. i think ill go with mcgill, only if i get rejected from schulich!! </p>
<p>Spizzle ive applied to major in ACCOUNTING.. u can check their site, it has a whole listing of majors u can apply to ....
If im not mistaken, 1st and 2nd year are core subjects and third and fourth are major concentrations..</p>
<p>Correct me if im wrong

<p>McGill's not private, is it?</p>
<p>i thought there were no private universites in canada other than some very small isolated ones</p>
<p>mcgill is not private as far as i know..</p>
<p>I'm a canadian who recently got accepted to UofT, UWO and McGill on scholarships. My problem is deciding which one to go to. I intend to study science for my BSc. leading upto getting into medical school. At the moment, I'm interested in McGill and UofT. Which one do u think is better? I've seen the maclean rankings, but not entirely convinced in them as they are based on research money etc. But which one has a higher reputation and better teaching in the sciences? THanks</p>
<p>Dont look at the mcleans ranking its total BS...UofT does not deserve to be top..it has a crappy campus life, low entrance averages, commuter skool, low averge starting salaries, cutthroat competation
Grad skool in toronto is a diffrent story (cant get any better than toronto in canada) I also got in UofT....its was like my safety..i never sirously considered going there </p>
<p>Mcgill and UWO are much better choices for undergrad
I am in the same situation..but I plan to doing an MSc then MBA (not med skool) </p>
<p>getting into medskool though is a lot harder than getting an MSc...u need a really high GPA (3.8-4.0) which is really hard to achieve in Mcgill unless u word extremely hard. Also everyone in Mcgill (bio) sciences is trying to get into med skool..so u have a lot of competation. thus the joke... </p>
<p>How many Mcgill students does it take to change the light bulb?
3900. 1 to screw in on and 3899 to put is on the resumes for med skool</p>
<p>3900..is the number of people in the science faculty</p>
<p>Western is known for parties..and people there say it isnt difficult to get high grades</p>
<p>having said that..Mcgill has a much better repuation in canada and around the world, montreal is a lot better than london, more diversity in mcgill and everyone who goes there loves the place. </p>
<p>basically you should choose the place where you think u will be happy, otherwise you wont do very well. </p>
<p>P.S. If you think you can work hard and get those high grades...i would certianly pick Mcgill</p>
<p>is the work extremely hard to get decent grades only for sciences or is it applicable to all faculties? Doesn't the grade deflation work to our disadvantage? Western is known as a party school and London isn't the most exciting city, but it's not bad and some people do have to work hard. I'm sure there are some profs there that won't give out easy marks. But Western's got that reputation for giving high grades. At least Western will be fun though, right? Although I agree that you can't quite beat Montreal. Toronto doesn't even beat Montreal, especially before 19. U of T has good profs and is a great school, but in terms of the university experience - not the best choice.</p>
<p>grade deflation only works to ur advangate if the adcoms in medical know there is deflation at mcgill...most medical skools in canada have cutoffs anyway..so if u dont achieve say a 3.8 gpa..ur automatically rejected</p>
<p>western is not the party skool it was...I doubt u will have much fun there
especially since the admin has cracked down so hard on the partying and fun stuff and most everyone goes to bars and pubs in london which totally suck </p>
<p>Now saugeen (one of the most infamous dorms for partying..it was on letterman as one of the top 10 places in north america to party) is pratically dead. The dorm was in its day the ultimate party spot but now sadly it doesnt live up to its reputation..its now offically the "dead dorm"</p>
