<p>Hello!
I need an order from the best to the worest of them.
1. University of Toronto (canada) (might be accepted or get into ESL) (engineering science)
2. Mcgill University (canada) (electric or computer engineering)
3. University of alberta (electric engineering + $11500 entrance scholarship)
4. University of waterloo (computer science + $2000 entrance)
5. Purdue University (first year engineering)
6. Rose-Hulman institute of technology (electric engineering)
These are the 6 school that I perferred from my list, but I don't know which one is the best for me.
I don't think study electric engineering or computer science can be a problem for me because I like to study both of them. But I think engineering more likely to find a better job. </p>
<p>My S has been accepted to four schools - James Madison, Hampden-Sydney, Randolph-Macon, and Bridgewater. Still has appliacations pending at Virginia Tech, William and Mary, and Old Dominion. He is being recruited for football by Hampden-Sydney, Randolph-Macon, and Bridgewater. Thoughts, advice on any of these schools.</p>
<p>Until you know where you have been accepted, don’t worry about choosing between these universities. All of them are fine institutions where you can get a good education.</p>
<p>except U of toronto, I am accepted by all of others. And I need to reply them before May 1. So I want to have more time to consider these schools.</p>
<p>Waterloo is extremely well regarded. Largest (and reknowned) math department in the world, first class for computer science. Canadian’s equivalent to Caltech or MIT. Microsoft hires more students from Waterloo than any other school, period. The coop program gives you great experience and their job placement is extremely high. 97% have employment after graduation. And they have some very cool and unique majors like comp sci and financial management, if you so choose.</p>
<p>According to you idea, Waterloo is the best in my list?
However, I heard some informations about that Waterloo class’s GPA is always low. So I afraid it will influence the choice of my master degree.</p>
<p>^ Perhaps true, but same with U of T and McGill. Canadian schools don’t do the grade inflation thing like US schools it seems (nor doe India or the UK have such high grading either). But both US and Canadian grad schools know this. The transcripts I see from Canadian schools (I do admissions for our PhD program), often include the class average beside the grade received. I honestly wouldn’t worry about it. Just a different grading system. </p>
<p>But ask around-- this is my preference, others may have a different viewpoint. But keep in mind that CC is predominantly American teenagers, who have heard of mostly just american colleges, and in a hearsay sort of way (with no actual experience). So I’m not sure you will get good advice on here about the rank and reputation of these schools (although you may get some good ideas about pros and cons of particularly ones from those who have actually attended one of them).</p>
<p>ok, the problem is that I have to choose one. And I perfer Waterloo, U of T, Rose-hulman, and purdue. And I also think both of them are in the same class. Therefore, I cannot make a decision easily.</p>
<p>I just want to choose one that I won’t feel regretful.</p>
<p>Rose Hulman is a wonderful school. If you compare the schools Rose-Hulman has the highest graduation rate for Engineering. If fact it has the highest in the country along with Olin and Harvey Mudd. </p>
<p>This graduation rate means those who start in Engineering will actually graduate in engineering. Some of other school may have high graduation rates but a lot of students find Engineering hard and transfer into another major and graduating from the school but not from engineering. </p>
<p>Rose has a great support system for academics and is ranked very high by US News for Engineering for the last 10 Years. </p>
<p>It you know you really want Engineering I would stick with Rose Hulman.</p>
<p>Hello!
I know Rose is the best undergraduate engineering school in USA but the ranking system separate it with the “big” university. Therefore, I do not know what is the real rank of it. And the other problem of me is that I am an international student. I may not find a job in USA as other local student easily. And the people in my country or in the world rarely heard about this school. So I am afraid this will be a problem when I graduate.</p>
<p>You need to figure out the real Cost of Attendance (COA) at each of these places. You should be able to find an estimated COA on the websites, but you will need to correct these for cost of transportation from your home to the college/university, cost of books and materials, other personal expenses, etc. If you have been awarded any scholarships, you need to find out if those are automatically renewed each year, or if you must maintain a particular GPA in order to keep the scholarship. Don’t forget that some scholarships are only for the first year, and after that there is no more scholarship money available.</p>
<p>Once you have all of the figures, talk with your parents (or whoever it is who is helping you pay for your education), and see if the cost difference is enough to make a difference in your choice of college/university. It might be. It might not be.</p>
<p>As an international student, you do need to consider whether the people who would be hiring you would know about the place you are graduating from. It is entirely possible that Rose Hulman is well known among the people who hire engineers even if no one else in your country has ever heard of it. Since you will be looking for jobs outside the US, you need to investigate the international placement at the different colleges/universities. You can email the career centers and ask about their experience in placing people from your home country. You also should find out how difficult it is for international students who have graduated from Canadian universities to get work visas in Canada. It is my understanding that it is much easier to do that than to get a work visa in the US.</p>
<p>Only Rose-Hulman gives me $5000 every year, and all of others are the first year(entance).
And I also figure out that to get a work visas in Canada is much more easier than that in USA.</p>
<p>And my parents want to send me to best college I can go. Hence, money is not an issue.</p>
