MASc Admission in ECE for Fall 2015

Nov 24, 2014

Hi all,
Hope you are doing good. I have applied at following 2 Universities in Canada for MASc in Electrical and Computer Engineering Fall 2015 and awaiting for their decision.

* Carleton University
* University of Western Ontario

I want to ask what are my chances of admission? My brief profile is:

BE Electronics (NED University of Engineering & Technology) CGPA 3.5
IELTS 6.5 overall
I have only 1 conference paper published.

Moreover, I am thinking to apply to Concordia University as it has deadline remaining for Fall 2015. Many seniors told me as my research interest in RF/ Microwaves so Concordia is better than the above two stated. What are my chances of getting admission?

Also, i have got admission in 2 top ranked German Universities in MASc Electrical & Computer Engineering for Fall 2015 and best thing is German education is FREE. My dream is to settle after MS so choosing Canada. But on the other hand i know Canadian ecnomy is falling and lesser jobs for Engineers in Canada :(

Suggestions from experiences members are highly appreciated.

Thank you!

In the above 2 Universities where i have applied, there was application for admission with scholarship. I have not contacted any supervisor yet.

However, i have contacted a supervisor at Concordia University and he said apply then he will review my application.


What should i do? The MASc programs at canadian universities are very high tuition fees and it is impossible for me to pay such high tuition fees with out any Scholarships. On the other hand, i have got admissions in Germany in top 2 Universities and they are totally FREE.

Getting into M.A.Sc. in North America is little different from European Universities. Here in Canada, the best chance lies in convincing a supervisor (professor) of your research interest. You need to build a strong portfolio based on the field of research in order to convince the Prof. Published papers, research projects, CGPA, IELTS, GRE scores - all play significant role here. Once a supervisor conditionally selects you to join his/her research team; it's much easier to go through the proper University admission process.

But without it; you're at the mercy of relevant professor to look at your profile. The professor(s) who is directly involved with your research interest may already have filled his quota.

About Scholarship & other sources:
- In graduate level, if you maintain a certain GPA; you will automatically get 75%-100% scholarship on your tuition.
- There are other scholarship opportunities if your GPA is high enough
- In M.A.Sc, you will receive some research grant from your supervisor
- You will get TA-ship/GA-ship based on how many courses your supervisor teaches in undergrad/grad levels

The above takes place normally from 2nd term of your MASc. So, for a hard-working good student. it's FREE.

I really can't say. You profile looks good to me. A GRE might have been a plus point in your case.

If I received funding of tuition fee + 10,000 CAD from university, do I need to show bank balance?

Thanks
I'm sorry but that I cannot say anything explicitly. I'm aware that you got full funding and some more; but I think the VO will still look for a stable source of funds on which you can rely for other expenses, travel, emergencies etc.

When will the Carleton Uni result announce? and how much time Canadian Visa tiakes to be stamped? For Germany it takes only a Month! As time is less and we have to resign our jobs too which will take 4 months for clearance. and ill do resign after getting Visa otherwise its not a good decision to take risk by resigning it now!

Also, in my Carleton Account it still written 'Preliminary review required' "(
