<p>Is Mcgill better then Indiana University as far as business department goes? And how hard is it to get into mcgill?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Here are the acceptance rates:
Migill University - 48.26%
Indiana University - 81.12% <a href="but%20it%20is%20harder%20for%20out%20of%20state%20students">i</a>*</p>

<p>Indiana is probably better in business, but overall I would definitely give the edge to McGill. I think at McGill you generally need at least a 1270 SAT and a 3.5 GPA to have a chance. I assume its harder to get into the Kelley School of business at Indiana than the CAS, but in general the school is fairly easy.</p>
<p>I've heard good things about the McGill business school as well.</p>
<p>My son recently talked with a McGill representative at a college fair, and is now interested in the university. We live very far from there, so a visit is unlikely unless we got lots more info about it. We know no one who has attended there.</p>
<p>While I know that it's one of the best universities in Canada, I don't know much else about it, and would welcome others' information.</p>
<p>S is a junior in an IB program and expects to get the IB diploma. He's interested in engineering, teaching, art and psychology. He's flexible and open minded and 1/4 Canadian, so I think would adapt well to living in Canada. </p>
<p>The one thing that concerns me about McGill is the size of the classes. S has enjoyed being in a small magnet program. He wants small classes, teachers interested in teaching. Is it true that the 700-student classes are likely only to be encountered freshman year?</p>
<p>I'm a McGill freshman in science, from the Seattle area, so if you or your son wants info feel free to e-mail me :) <a href="mailto:noelle.fredrickson@mail.mcgill.ca">noelle.fredrickson@mail.mcgill.ca</a></p>
<p>For one thing I'll say that class size is wildy variable...my smallest class is 13 people, my largest around 600. Generally core requirements in arts and science, like chem, psych, etc, tend to be huge, but lesser known courses or more specialized courses tend to be a lot smaller. Thus after first and some of the 2nd year courses (molecular bio and organic chem tend to be quite large as well), classes get a LOT smaller.</p>
<p>And big class size actually isn't that bad of a thing...I was expecting it to be worse than it is.</p>
<p>The Kelley School is number 11 in Business while MCgill isnt even top 20. Plus The direct admit program at Kelley takes only 300 kids. And admisions rep said something like 15 percent of its applicants. Everyone else has to wait till their sophmore year,</p>
<p>If you are looking for a Canadian Business program check out the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western (Ontario)... I don't remember the exact rankings, but its undergrad business program is among the best internationally, and has a very good reputation... McGill is an excellent school---I don't think it really is known for its business department, however... another top business school in Canada is Queens (Commerce)... I don't think it has the same reputation outside of Canada, however... but it should</p>
<p>Another very prestigous Canadian business school is the Schulich School of Business, part of York University in Toronto.</p>
<p>How is Mcgill in engineering?</p>
<p>If you are interested in studying business in Canada, you should probably look into Queen's University too. Here's a copy & paste from a Queen's web page:</p>
<p>"In October 2004, BusinessWeek ranked Queens School of Business #1 in the world in its highly regarded ranking of non-U.S. business schools. In February 2004, senior Canadian executives ranked Queens Executive MBA the best in Canada in a national Environics survey."</p>
<p>I believe the acceptance rate into the undergraduate "Commerce" program in under 9%.</p>
<p>Here are some links that may be of interest:</p>

<p>Dual MBA program from both Cornell & Queen's:</p>

<p>Humm, I guess you <em>can</em> earn an Ivy League degree in Canada. ;-)</p>
<p>There is also a dedicated area for Queen's discussions here:</p>
<p>The Queen's brochure, "Information for Students from the United States", says that last year there were 3,396 applicants for 270 spaces in Commerce. The University overall had an admission rate of 13.9%.</p>

<p>Uh, how do you define "Canadian" as anything other than geographical location of birth?</p>

One of his parents has a Canadian parent? I don't think she meant citizenship. Although it's true that this does not affect the ability to adapt.</p>
<p>I've visited McGill several times at a Model UN conference they run yearly as well as on trips to visit family in Montreal. It's a great school - beautiful campus and city. It's definetly one of my top choices. (I'm Canadian btw.)
As far as class sizes... I hear they are only really large in the first year. Also, Canadian universities (with the exception of UofT or UBC probably) are much smaller than American ones, and the class sizes down the road would probably be a lot smaller.
There are also many excellent business programs in Canada... McGill, Queen's and Western are ones to check out.

<p>Liberal obviously. :P
(except if you're <em>shudder</em> Klein or Harper, which I have a right to say as a liberal from AB haha)</p>
<p>;) It's a joke, if you missed that. Not to be taken seriously.</p>
