<p>I am an international prospective student, and I recently got accepted to-
1) UMichigan- Engineering -(Specialization not selected yet)
2) U of T- Engineering Science
3) UWaterloo (decision pending, but will get admitted inshaAllah)- Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>I have to make a decision soon so I was wondering what would be the best option considering-
1) Grad School Opportunities in the US (e.g. Stanford, Columbia, UCBerkeley etc.)
2) Great Work Placements after graduation in North America
3) Difficulty of coursework (Easiness of getting a Good GPA)
4) Co-op placements. (Doesn't matter much if I can get a better job after graduation or a better grad school than that of doing co-op)</p>
<p>and How hard is Engineering Science anyway? People keep saying it leads to suicidal and what not. Compare difficulty of Engineering Science at U of T with Regular Engineering at MIT/Caltech/Stanford.</p>
<p>Thanks Alot! Please help me out!</p>
<p>bump…bump…bump</p>
<p>I don’t think you’ll find anyone who can compare them that way. People doing undergrad at Canada don’t know well about the US system, and people in the US universities almost never have a clue about their Canadian peers. What I CAN tell you is that all of them (well except UWaterloo, which has a weird co-op system and prepares you more for getting a job than for research) will give you a very similar experience, and you should base your decisions largely on the other stuff, e.g. where you want to work after graduation, how much it’s going to cost, which city you like etc.</p>
<p>All of these universities are going to give you much more resources than you can ever make the full use of, so just pick a place where you would be happiest. And don’t worry about difficulty that much: when you apply to grad schools your GPA will almost always be judged in context and adcoms are aware of grade deflations in certain schools. That’s why U of T always mentions the class average in their transcripts.</p>
