<p>I finally got accepted into Mechanical Engineering at McGill and it is my first choice and possibily only choice. I am an International Studetnt from Pakistan so I really need to know if the money I am going to be spending on McGill is really worth it?</p>

<p>I know that Engineering isnt McGill's forte but I have heard that it is really good when it comes to Mechanical and its one of the hardest undergrad major's to get into. So I have a got a few questions.</p>

<p>1) Is McGill's Mechanical Engineering good? How does it rank in North America and is there a better Engineering program at McGill?</p>

<p>2) How hard is it to maintain a good GPA?( I am targetting 3.7+)</p>

<p>3) Do McGill Mech graduates get into good Grad schools, such as Ivy league schools.</p>

<p>4) McGill is commonly associated to be much more focused on the theoretical rather than on hands on experience. Does the same apply for Mech programs too which I think should be traditionally much more hands on?</p>

<p>My reply won't be of much worth, because I don't know much about the school. But it's late, I'm bored, and I take procrastination to the extreme.</p>

<p>As far as I know, maintaining a 3.7+ GPA in engineering ANYWHERE will be quite a task. I'm from California, so I'll use the UC's as an example. A Berkeley engineer major would be considered decent if they maintained 3.0+. </p>

<p>From what I hear, the engineering program at McGill is actually pretty rigorous. Very competitive, and requires a lot of work, just like any other engineering program.</p>

<p>Like I said, not much help, but I'm bored. :{</p>

<p>Hopefully someone will come alone and give a much more detailed and informed reply.</p>
