UofT, McGill, UBC, Waterloo or UCLA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>I'm an international and got admitted to the Electrical Engineering programs at the four universities. Any suggestions about which I should choose? I wanna go to graduate school so I need letters of recs and research opportunities. Money is not an issue.</p>

2

<p>Waterloo or UCLA</p>

3

<p>UCLA is not good enough to justify the premium you pay over Canadian shools. </p>

<p>I say McGill or Waterloo.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses. How would you rank the five universities mentioned above, in terms of strength in EE?</p>

5

<p>if you want to go to engineering, go to waterloo. However, waterloo is the MIT of canada, so be warned that is pretty much all guy nerds (im assuming you are a guy). So, if you want to have fun in University, go to McGill or UofT. OofT is huge so I don’t know how you feel about that. I wouldn’t go to UBC.</p>

<p>UCLA is of equal caliber but costs more</p>

6

<p>Which university can give me better chance for top EE graduate schools in America?</p>

7

<p>probably UCLA since it IS an american school</p>

<p>I’ve got three more questions:</p>

<p>1)Which university can offer more theoretical education that will prepare students better for grad schools? </p>

<p>2)How much does undergraduate coop experience help when you apply to grad schools?</p>

<p>3)I heard that Waterloo’s EE curriculum is relatively practical, which is just suitable for those who want to find jobs as soon as they graduate. Is that true?</p>

<p>Waterloo or Toronto. I would lean toward Toronto, as it’s program is highly selective and is top notch. Sorry, McGill is not in the mix on this one.</p>
