Hi all, I would greatly appreciate any input you might be able to provide. My stats are as follows: 1680 Superscore on the old SAT (450 reading, 630 math, 600 writing) 800 Biology subject test 680 World History 700 Math level 1and 6.5 on the IELTS What my chances of getting admitted to engineering major at the university of waterloo/University of Toronto, and british columbia All best, 700DA P.S ought mention that am an international student from Egypt, what bearing could this have prospects?.
Engineering is the most difficult program to get into at UBC. I’m not sure of your average, but I know someone who was rejected last year with a 94% average. That being said, as an international student you do have a big advantage, UBC is known to have lower standards for international students because they pay more.
Your IELTS score is the minimum accepted for Waterloo and Toronto. Your SAT reading score is low as well. Engineering is one of the two most competitive majors in Canada. Waterloo has higher standards for international students than domestic students. There are only 200 international spots for internationals at Waterloo. I think your chances at Toronto and Waterloo are low. Both schools place an emphasis on the ability to communicate in English.
