Great Profile bro!

Fingers crossed for my decision too

 

[NavnoorsC]

What is your profile? And did you contact any supervisor?
Which other universities you applied or got admit from?

 

[dhillonjr]

Profile - B.Tech 70%
TOEFL - 101
WORK EX. - 3.5 yrs.
I did few projects related to the course during my professional and academic experiences.
Also I e-mailed a few professors regarding supervision but didnt get a reply.
Still applied though. Now waiting for a decision. Also applied to McGill, Calgary, Alberta, UBC and Carleton.
I feel my undergrad percentage might be an issue in selection but fingers crossed.

Oh nice!!
But dont you think you applied to ambitious to mod universities? In my opinion should have gone with safe too. In MASc, professors mostly look for students with research experience rather than industry experience. I hope u applied for MEng too. And contact supervisors ASAP if they told you to do so.
All the best!!

I feel the same. I am thinking of applying to windsor but heard bad reviews about it. Cant figure out where to apply for a safe bet.
Can you help me with some options?
I have applied to MEng in Alberta, McGill and Carleton
And yes, I am mailing professors everyday so lets see

As of now, I dont know how many universities deadlines are still not up. This year has been different from all previous years as number of applicants are raised substantially. Considering previous years trend, Concordia, Regina would have been a safe bet. As far as MAsc is concerned, supervisors still shy to accept the international students, as they fear that the student would not be fully funded by scholarship, so they prefer their home citizens.I suggest apply to Meng programs to the above mentioned universities if you still can. Even if you applied for MASc , apply for Meng as well, if possible.

 

[dhillonjr]

Yes I have applied to MEng Courses aswell. Btw, who gave you the information regarding increase in number of applicants?

 

[NavnoorsC]

Oh , I had emailed universities (Electrical department)recently(Mcgill,Waterloo) asking about the update to my application and they replied that its taking time due to more number of applicants than expected. I therefore believe that this might be possible in other universities as well. Anyways, All the best!!

 

[dhillonjr]

Oh alright
I emailed McGill aswell regarding my application. They said to wait till mid april bcoz thats about when they roll out offers.

 

[NavnoorsC]

Oh well that's interesting,According to Mcgill email I recieved, the decision would be given in march itself. I applied for Electrical and Computer Engineering, maybe it varies by program.
