<p>^^ thanks guys i appreciate the feed back from you both (no sarcasm intended).</p>
<p>Alam1, just because you don’t THINK you know much doesn’t make me not knowing much either. </p>
<p>Thatguy100, I’m sorry for lumping all the 18 year olds together. I did not intend to throw you all into the fire. </p>
<p>I have trouble understanding why people base a person’s knowledge or ability on age. GWashington was given his first public office at 18. Being young and knowledgable is okay IMO. </p>
<p>As for tomofboston, if anything, you/he/she was confrontational when I was being, at least to my intentions, friendly. I’m trying to help out the OP with what he/she was asking for. Tomofboston, if you read the posts carefully, called me out first.</p>
<p>And to get back on topic, for the OP: the undergrad business degree in the US is actually the BBA not the Bachelor of Science - look at what the top undergrad business schools offer, and you will see for yourself.</p>
<p>Wiki: “In the Times Higher Education (THE) – QS World University Rankings 2009, McGill was ranked the best university in Canada, the best public university in North America, and 18th in the world.[72][73] Within specific fields, McGill ranked 10th in the life sciences and biomedicine, 14th in the arts and humanities, 17th in the social sciences, 26nd in the natural sciences, and 20th in technology.[74] When McGill placed 12th overall in the 2007 ranking, the achievement was regarded as the “highest rank to be reached by a Canadian institution.”[75] In its 2006 ranking of global universities, Newsweek ranked McGill third in Canada, 30th in North America, and 42nd worldwide.[76] In the 2008 College ******* Online rankings for Academics at North American universities, McGill earned an A- for Academics; making it the only Canadian school to achieve a grade above a B-.[77]”</p>
<p>McGill’s prestige really depends on what you want to do in college.</p>
<p>For example, no Canadian in the right mind would rank McGill’s engineering program to be on par with University of Toronto’s (Engineering Science) or University of Waterloo’s (Co-op speaks for itself)</p>
<p>What exactly is Waterloo’s co-op, do you work a couple of months and study the rest? And what about the University of Toronto’s Engineering Science?</p>
<p>I know everyone loves and respect McGill, but as a McGill student, I’m not afraid to be honest and say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s overrated, I don’t like the attitude of SOME (not all) of the students as very entitled because they got into this “prestigious” school, the quality of teaching is severely lacking, the advising is utterly useless and the bureaucracy is the worst I’ve seen. I regret not going to Concordia, they’re on top of things, and it was a breeze getting information from them as opposed to the pulling hairs trying to contact McGill about everything from admissions to advising.</p>
<p>McGill is more worldly known than some other universities and it could be conceived to be more beneficial to have the brand name but it’s not strong in everything. McGill is more oriented towards sciences, law and engineering as opposed to social sciences, humanities, arguably business and fine arts.</p>
<p>I’m also a McGill student and I’ll have to agree with what /u/sleepeatstudy said. The city is wonderful and the people I’ve met are fantastic, but a lot of my professors seem indifferent and school seems to not care about the students a lot.</p>
