So I've been thinking about what to write for my essay and was wondering what kind of prize-winning essays you've written that got you into college?
In Canada, we dont need to write any essays to get into college. As long as our grades and prereqs are fine, then we get into the program that we want.
u should. apply at Queens university and Waterloo university in ontario. they are definitely world class schools, i applied to Waterloo after high school, unfortunately i didnt get in cuz i was trying for direct entry into a medical radiology program which only had 15 seats and my average was only 92%.. not enough to gain entry. UBC is also a great choice, tons and tons of hot asian girlz therr aaw yeeh
Errr...it depends on which university dood......grad school u have to justify why u wanna be in the prog... Queensland in Aussie is better Queens & Waterloo ain't good at all... better at UoT...or go to slirp to see kdotc...or whatever it is called...lol
Lol, shes going to college not uni Also, essay indeed do vary from program to program. Meds definitely needs essays but generally, a lot of programs dont require.
I think only college is also refer to uni in the states and other countries...except for quebec...quebec makes a distinction between college and uni... Correct me if I'm wrong...
^haha. yeah, college and uni are the same to me. so to justify, i'm still getting my high school diploma right now i just mentioned the possibility of going to the east coast and my relatives said, "no! plane tickets are expensive, especially with you coming back every christmas and summer" so i think canada is out of the question.
no need for all that trouble in UK, only had 2 apply in with predicted Grades at GCSE (high-school) then after they gave ya the interviews, n the place mayb if ya get the grades 2 study the subjects at College
ya. like the chinese "masters" from china...equivalent to high school in the States and Canadian standards. That why they have standard testing. haha..like me finishing high school in french, but can't really read/write/ ROFLMAO. TG for the Inglish schools...come to think of it, I can't write in Inglish either Similar to all those "hack job" doctors from those third world countries ...no testing involved...lol
UofT is as good as the name goes, I have yet met anyone who actually LIKED UofT after 4 years of snobbiness from the administration/bureaucracy. If you are even considering Canadian universities, depending on program, McGill (Biology and Music), York (Liguistics and Commerce/Management), UofT (Management), Waterloo (Engineering of most kind), UBC (Biology of any kind), and oh, Dalhousie (most humanities) Depending on which coast you live nearby, college tuition and accommodation in US alone can cost so much more than studying in Canada, I am sure the difference can afford you with a few spare plane tickets here and there -lol
McGill has da name, so does UoT, maybe UoM..so it dont matter what program,,,I think...tution is cheap in quebec,,,the lowest in canda, but the thing is, it is a french country. Mcgill...it is so international, so the competition to get in is tough...but generally very smart people...u have to put em in da place to survive and to get some respect...it ain't about old money once u r in... I wouldnt go to waterloo unless u r gay all guys...
Soooooooo not true about Waterloo!!!!!! Well, our guys make up a lot of our population and 99% of them are nerds
You don't need to be fluent in French to study in McGill, it would be an asset, but not a requirement unless you pursue certain subjects (Medicine, I believe, require all students to be perfectly bilingual as they serve residence terms in Montreal) I know a lot of people got into McGill (and for that matter, UofT) by applying for subjects with lesser competition, then change the subject after a semester or a year. It will cost, but you'll get the name. Guys who say that don't know what they are missing out on. I know that there are a lot of girls in UW, not as much as Western though, party school.
that;s my point...it is all guys...like 99 guys to 1 girl. meng...I would go to slirp like kdot Errr ...been there, done it at McKill (hehe)...MD. my neighbor is in it, she aint bilingual, but with a heart of gold...she will be good doctor...changing programs at mid way???? Not good, unless u can maintain momentum after first A...you have to get a 3.0/4.0 (minimum)...usually 3.3 is the barrier to break for any chance to transfer...the only program I know that you have to be bilingual is law...BBL/BCL...a 4 year program...u can go for one with MBA/BCL as well...5 years... Met a few uot grads at McGoo and I am impressed a little....wouldn't you know it...at McGill u got too be...
Well, UofT is KNOWN to be snobby in the sense that it only gives out A's to 10% of any given class (relative marking/scaling) and screw everyone's chance of getting into grads school in UofT. I mean, if they ask for a 4.0 GPA for entrance they should at least have the courtesy of GIVING OUT ENOUGH 4.0's. But no, all they say is, "oh your mark isn't high enough, tough luck for you". And are you certain that one doesn't need to be bilingual to be a med student at McGill? I remember reading it somewhere... and was told by my friends... -huh
she is from ontario, her french is limited as I know it...at least she never spoke french to me... Hey, I never got a 4.0 at McGoo either, that includes everyone I know taking CLASSES...if you are doing a thesis then your supervisor can give you that...it usually ranges from 3.7 to 4.0 as I know it... For classes, the highest I ever got is A-...but remember in Grad school, u have to get minimum B-
Grads school is kind of like, first grade lower than B- means councillor/advisor, then the second grade lower than B- means explusion... But on the other hand, much less people get grades lower than B- in grads school (generally) than undergrads... Even though Ontario's French as a whole isn't something to write home about, there are a lot of bilinguals still with French immersion high school and French immersion university (that's York's Glendon for you) I didn't say that UofT do not give out 3.7's or for the matter 4.0's, just that they are not particularly generous about it. Ask around, most of the UofT grads students are not from UofT, unless of course they are researching with a professor or something (in which case, the prof has A LOT OF say in the decision).
Dont think its 100% mandatory since a lot of international students are accepted for medicine. I have seen my share of medical students who cant speak french and relied on whoever was available on the unit to translate for them.
