university selection help

[uarshad]

Please explain in detail "Drawback considering my requirements "

Are you sure the there are no other univ offering IT/CS related courses within my Budget and where I can get admission even with the Background in Electronics and Work Exp in IT ???

There are several universities. But as you had budget constraints so I narrowed down to these. the drawbacks are several. I would just give you an example. Concordia is expensive and in Montreal which is a developed city. As its not developing at a respectable rate there is a lack of jobs there. So you must hit cities that are developing and got oppertunities and jobs for us. Cities like Regina. UBC is very expensive. UBC has the same problem like Concordia unless you go to Okanagan. And I currently dont knw if your required field is available in Okanagan. Besides God-forbid but who knws what kind of situation you face there. As for Waterloo, yeah I should have added it to the list. Dont knw why it didnt come to my mind.

@UArshad

What about my background in different field in Electronics...

I am having Work Ex in IT domain for 2+year and I am relying on this only as B.Tech was in Electronics so do u think it might create Problem in getting the admission for Course based Masters i.e.M.Engg ( As I am not interested in Research based M.Sc or M.Asc) in CS/IT related stream.

Also, Please provide your remarks (either in few words or detailed ) point wise for the following enlisted Univ to the best of your Knowledge -

All these have Courses, I shortlisted, as per my requirement and I want to narrow down them further on the basis of Program Structure/modules , Living Conditions there and Cost Factor involved based on yours and other Experts suggestion. You can put your Remarks like Not good IT Job Prospects, Expensive etc

univ of Ottawa -->
Simon Fraser -->
Royal Roads - MGM Program -->
Univ of Calgary -->
Queens Univ -->
Univ of NewBrunswick -->
Carleton Univ -->
Univ of Windsor -->
Ryerson Univ -->
Univ of Victoria -->
Laurentian Univ -->
Memorial University of Newfoundland -->
Lakehead Univ -->
Memorial Univ -->
University of Prince Edward Island -->
St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia -->
Acadia University, NS -->
Universite de Montreal -->
Universite de Laval -->
Universite de Sherbrooke -->

My apologies for a very late reply...

Alright in this list I have spotted most of the universities not worth attending.

University like those in newfoundland. And the french universities. Kick them out of this list.

I dont think that should be a problem.

ur profile looks good ...ryerson is a good mid level university
u could take a chance and apply york university even though GRE is recommended its not mandatory.
apply for 4-5 universities choosing between low ranking to top ranking just to be safe

you don't have to send original copies.
you have to send the photocopies attested by the exam controller sealed in university envelope.

Pal dont give up on great unis. And I have just gone through admission process this year and had acceptance on scholarships in 11/11 unis in Hong Kong, America and Canada. There are big names in the list like McGill, Torronto, Alberta, waterloo, HKU, HKUST, NYU, Illinois etc. If I tell you that it aint that tough I mean it. Trust me.

what was your profile bro?

 

[Aasim.ahmad]

Yeah I would mind . Look man my profile ain't super. The universities tell us they have competitive admissions because it is a matter of pride for them. If you want to get into a university you just have to make sure that your profile catches attention. With grades like yours you need a great personal statement that stands out. That is unique and displays your uniqueness. The universities are after unique talents of the students. That definitely ain't hard to display because we all are unique by birth.

Monsier how much are you ready to spend per year. Then I can tell you the universities to choose.

Uarshad my profile
