<p>I'm starting this thread because I really want to help out my brother:</p>
<p>He wants to study Electrical Engineering in Ontario and hopefully stay and work in Ontario after completing his Bachelor degree.</p>
<p>He wants to go to a university in Ontario because that is where I will most likely go later on to get my Masters degree.</p>
<p>Anyways - has he a chance to get into a uni in Ontario with a 2.9 GPA? </p>
<p>He's currently a sophomore at a US college. His GPA will be a 3.26 after his professor changes his grade (he made a mistake or something..) but right now it's still a 2.9.</p>
<p>I have looked at some universities already - like McMaster - but I'm not sure what GPA he would need to get admitted to their program. </p>
<p>By the way - does anybody know anything about Concordia University in Montreal?
Is it a good and reputable school?</p>
<p>Their Electrical Engineering program seems interesting but I don’t really know anything about that school and when I search for it on google some people really like it but there are also some not so good reviews.</p>
<p>The only engineering schools I know of in Ontario are Waterloo and UT, but both are extremely competitive (generally, 93% - 95%+). But, that’s because both are considered the best engineering schools in Canada.</p>
<p>I have heard of Concordia, but I haven’t heard any stellar reviews.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what kind of GPA that would be but I doubt he could get in.</p>
<p>He looked at the University of Windsor as well but I couldn’t really find anything about that university. Concordia seemed pretty cool but if it’s not a decent school it wouldn’t make much sense to go there. </p>
<p>Queen’s and Western Ontario seemed like pretty good schools too but I’m not sure about their requirements.</p>
<p>I strongly doubt anyone on here can tell you the kind of GPA required as a transfer student. It might be worthwhile to search on each university but also contact them directly. </p>
<p>The top ones in Ontario are U of T, Waterloo, Queens, Western, McMaster, but there is also Carleton, Guelph, Ottawa, York, Ryerson, Lakehead…others not coming to mind. </p>
<p>Acorn3 is overstating the selectivity of Waterloo and UT. If you look at this website, you can click on a school, then go to categories such as “entering average grade by program”. It will provide the percentage of students admitted under each category of entering grade averages. For Engineering at these schools, both the median and mean of entering average senior grades (not transfers) has been around 89% in the past few years. That is for all engineering combined, but some specific programs are more competitive than others. </p>
<p>idk if this reply is too late but my brother went to Concordia several years ago for EE and he loved it. He originally went to McGill but didn’t like their engineering department so switched to Concordia. Besides, if your brother isn’t planning on doing any graduate studies after his getting his bachelor’s, Concordia is perfect because it’s oriented to get their graduates in to the work place right after they graduate. Good luck to your brother.</p>
<p>P.S. Montreal is a much better place to live than Toronto EVEN if you don’t speak french. More affordable too.</p>
