<p>I have strong interests in engineering and have been using some of the online software to help identify good matches and some safety schools for application this fall. </p>
<p>The University of Waterloo keeps floating to the top of the lists
provided (good fit/match). I have to admit the usual US ignorance of the Canadian educational system. Can someone suggest a comparable US engineering program so I can get some idea of what Waterloo is all about? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p>Waterloo is very similar to MIT and Caltech.It truly is Canada's MIT
But...Here is a thing you may not know for a lower price(It's Really Low!)
and just as good education you can get in so much easier.
If you are considering Waterloo go for it!

<p>Sounds like the school has right technical slant, but she may not be prepared for the content. She's in top 10% but only a 3.8 GPA. We'll already be in Toronto area so we may just stop by anyway - I hear it's a nice campus.</p>
