Applying to University

[Pickles]

Time to generate some talk, I know a few of you fellows must be going off to university next year. Whered you apply to and for what.

I applied to Mcmaster, Waterloo, Western for civil engineer.

Have another month of my hard semester to go, then it will be smooth sailing through rest of high school.

[Dan]

I am all ready in uni now, but last year i applyed to:

Windsor
Wilfrid Laurier
Western
Waterloo
Toronto
Ottawa
Nipissing
Laurentian
Lakehead
Carleton
York

I think there may have been some others, not shure tho.........For most of them i just applyed for compsci but i think i also applyed for software engeing and pure math in a few....

thats not going a little overboard is it?

Yes, and it cout quite a bit too. Tho it was intresting...........

[Pickles]

you just wanted to recieve mail didnt you

I have a question, someone whose already done it might be able to answer..

int he info book for waterloo for instance it says

Quote:

All of our offers of admission and scholarships will be made no later than June 3, 2005, and you will have until June 13, 2005, to respond.

how does that work if i wont be done calculus by then, do i respond to the conditional? or what..

[Neo]

I applied to Mechatronics for UofW and UofT and Mechanical in UWO.

They give you conditional offers of acceptance that basically state that your average can't go below the line that they set for the specific program.

In actuality, as long as you do reasonably well, they'll honour your conditional acceptance. For example, if the required average for some program was 85, and you get conditional acceptance, but your final average is only 80, chances are you'll still be okay.

[Pickles]

well tahts always nice to know, thx
won't really matter cause all my required courses except for calculus are this semeseter. so ill only have calculus and an extra (or if worse comes to worse i have an 83 U course kicking around)

Just didnt know with that whole "You must reply by June 13th thing" if you still had to reply on a conditional.

comp en at waterloo, toronto, queens and windsor and compsci ant waterloo and toronto

[Paul]

I'm in grade 11, I have my eyes on this though.

[MihaiG]

im gonn shot for the big leagues http://www.mit.edu/research/category/ph.html#links

they got everything there.... they got nuclear reactors..... mmmm nuclear

[Andy]

from what i've seen, i doubt you'll be gettin in

[Martin]

Anyone going into computer science at waterloo (or possibly others), if you like math, check out Combinatorics & Optimization. I found that Computer Science was a little bit too light on the math, so I switched into that.

Anyway, here's the link: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/CandO_Dept/index.shtml

The whole of math.uwaterloo.ca appears to be down. It should come back up soon.

I'm preaty sure that they require you to be of a good character.. sorry

anyways, as you guys probably know, I'm in Mechatronics

Mechatronics Engineering concerns the design of computer controlled electromechanical systems. It includes robotics and automation systems, neural prosthetics, micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and many other leading-edge technologies. Basically, the dream program for people who probably couldn't cut it in a real faculty.

[Martin]

Yeah, Tony's not smart enough for math.
