Any comments on engineering/computer science of Waterloo? What about the entry requirements? (eg. I ...
Hi. I have not come back to EK for a while. Is your son in Y12 yet?
Waterloo engineering and computer science is very good. Waterloo has a very good co-op program. Waterloo also has a very good incubator program for students. Many students get funds to do startups etc. Many became very successful entrepreneurs. Canadians are very practical and thus making Waterloo so popular. (Heard that Ryerson is also a good choice if one wants to get into co-op programs. Ryerson used to be a college and thus the curriculum is probably more career oriented. Thus might not suit students that are more academic.)
The entry requirements should be quite clear on the school website and on the OUAC website. Not many universities are willing to tell what their cut-offs are because I believe that can change with the number of applications they get each year (fewer people apply, may be they will lower their required cut-off). I am not sure about the cut-off for Waterloo engineering, but you should have high chance with a 38+.
My children did not apply to McGill but McGill always releases admission cut-off from the previous year on the website. And that serves a very good indicator of what Waterloo wants as well. I would believe Waterloo and McGill are probably very on par with admission. But I feel that McGill seem to be slightly more strict with grades than Waterloo.
UBC and U of T are a little different. They are very huge, and have much larger undergraduate intakes every year. Because of the size, they are a lot more lax in giving offers. But note that getting an admission ticket does not make it easy to strive. I heard from my son's friend (who is now U of T forth year) that a lot of people dropped out after first year.
