University Application
I'm going to gather info on different universities, and I want to know the application process for both Canadian and American universities. Couple google searches generated lots of spam, so can someone please give me links to google universities ratings/application guide sites?:)
Thx much in advance.

Re: University Application
It depends upon the subject...
Overall, the "named" rankings for the US are:
These Ones
But Yale, for instance, can come as low as 20... depending upon the Subject.
Harvard always appears to be in top 4 or 5 though.
For Canada try Here.
And you may find this useful.

Re: University Application
I have no idea what any of you are talking about.
On my uni application I just ticked all the appropiate boxes using a black ballpoint pen, and then attached a letter that I bullshitted in about how much I was excited by the subject.

Re: University Application
I went to the University of Sheringham,
it's just the same as the University of Cambridge in a lot of ways,
I guess the name "Cambridge" made it, odd.
Famous Cambridge brand names,
Cambridge Country Inn's potato soup
Cambridge Soup Bowl
Cambridge Diet
what is it with Cambridge, soup & Diet :unsure:

Re: University Application
I had a pretty easy time deciding- MSU is in state, one of the top engineering schools in the country (compeating with staford, not bad for a state school from montana), and cheap as hell ($2000 a year with all my rebates) I didn't really spend a lot of time deciding where to go. By the way, I know I am biased, but MSU is strong in Math and Business.

Re: University Application
M'kay, thx for the insight. will look up MSU.

Or be good at Sport oddly...:unsure:
Strange that, cos I never really understood how being good at sport would mean that one is good academically. I mean, look at David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, they are clearly highly developed intellectuals.:lol: :lol:

Re: University Application
Well, I didn't know jack shit and no one helped me do my applications for University but it's pretty straight forward, just go to the online site for the Univ. in question, then click on apply online, yadayadayada and follow the steps, not as hard as it sounds trust me (although some require you to send in reference letters, not all though).
My suggestions for Univ. to apply to (canadian):
RMC
UBC
SFU
UofT
McGill
Royal Roads
Waterloo
Those are the ones I applied to and as far as I know all of them (exception for Royal Road, not 100% sure though) have business, political science, etc. courses/degrees/faculties.
I got into all the ones I applied (the above list basically) except UofT, that univ. is one bitch and a half to get into.
Oh and RMC only if you want military discipline and free education (nothing is free...)

Re: University Application
I think if you're not intelligent enough to work out how to apply to universities, then you're probably not university material... :ermm:

It was relatively simple in my day. Then you told UCAS your choice of subject and your choice of University (ranked 1, 2 and 3). They aimed to give you your first choice and all you had to do was pass the exams. After long and complex discussions with SGG's big bro it apparently is no longer like that, although after much form filling he does appear to have got his first choice. Now he is doing battle with the SED forms for handling the fees etc., halls of residence and other matters that lend themselves to bureaucratic joy.

Halcyon days.
I want to go there, I want to do that, pay my fees, give me money (that I don't pay back like).
Progress. My arse.

Re: University Application
The "Test of English as a Foreign Language?" No, you don't need to take that. However, you do have to take the SAT (or you did when I was looking at US universities).
:shuriken:

Re: University Application
You have to pass your SATs to enter an American University...
Now that does explain a lot... :lol: :lol:

I chose not to go to RMC and instead attend Civillian Univ. Mainly cuz of the money, if you live there they deduct a huge chunk off your paycheque for room and board. Either way I get my officer's salary and 5 years (max) paid university (although the course I'm taking is 4 years, just like any other Bachelors). Air Force ftw :happy:
I only applied to so many place so I can keep my options open, and so far so good. But damn, I lost a lot of money for those stupid application fees and what not :dry:
