My 2 cents

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛If you are really sure you are gonna end up in US for the rest of your life, go to York, study hard, get a decent GPA and a Bechelor with hornor, take GRE and apply for a graduate program in a good US school. It really doesn't matter too much whether you graduate from York or U of Waterloo for those people who want to hire you in US, as long as you have the skills they are after. To them, you are from a generic school-- a canadian school( it's analogous to the feeling when you think of an Australian school). However , for some important positions, such as senior architect, chief scientist, or say, anything that is more academic and focuses more on research, a graduate background from a good school really helps, Also, if you decide to go to a top 5 business school in US for MBA, a degree in a top 20 CS program and a 4.0 GPA can push yourself a little bit ahead of other applicants, which often makes a difference when comptition is intense.

If you go for Waterloo, I assume that you have to wait for additional year to take TOEFL and get admission. One year is a very long time, if you think of the opportunities you might catch and things you might learn in that one year.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 工作学习 / 求学深造 / 我来TORONTO没到一年,没考TOFFL,现拿到YORK的本科C.S的OFFER,我很困惑是否应花2年多的时间去学,还是去申请一个更好的学校. e-mail:borisguo@hotmail.com 多谢指教
    • 没有考TOEFL,你拿到了OFFER,你在开玩笑吧?
      • You can take admission test instead TOFFL,I am not kiding.My opinion is if it is worth studing in York 3 years.I want to apply for waterloo and U.T.Because after you go to U.S.A,you are easy to find a job.

            I have got a lot from your answer although I now some relative info,you are knowlegeable in IT area,I plan to e-mail to you but always miss the time,here again,thanks a lot.

            I landed Toronto last Dec. I have a question about osap,I was told you couldnot get the osap unless you have been here for one year.they check the landing date from register date,if not reach one year,no Ontario loan for you.

            I absolutely want go to un. to study C.S ASAP,however,I have to consider
            the finianial situation in 2 or 3 years.Can I first PART-TIME then FULL-TIME to get the osap?This also connect closely my first question .
            Hoping futher reply

        • 我也没考TOFEL呢,请问YORK的admission test 都考些什么呀?另外除了这个TEST外,还要准备什么?先谢了!!:)
          • test only reading and writing,you should read more and write more
            • admission test is much harder than toefl.
              • Thanks for both of you! :)
    • 听说U-YORK CS的淘汰率很高!
      • you don't need to finish highschool to go to york, no kidding
      • I am not scare of this,my worry is spending 2 or 3 years studying in a common school is or not worthy?
        • What do you want after school? Working or trying to get a Master degree in CS?
          For me I want to work, so for me it doesn't matter which school I went, but to graduate ASAP. I went to a very common university and found a good job after that.
          • I plan to go to U.S.A
            Less people know common un. of Canada in American,and everyone know waterloo and U.T ,this is the difference.In addition,this year,sb cannot find a job even they are from average un. major in C.S
    • 有没有不用考TOEFL,交钱就能上的研究生?学校好坏无所谓!
      • 有!研究生都不用上,交钱就拿文凭,要哪个学校就哪个学校。很多垃圾email都这么说。(玩笑)
        • there is only one school in Canada but not in ON
        • 那是连读都不用读!我还是想读一下,就是懒得复习考试了!
    • 你不去我去
