| Good Canadian universities for computer science? |
|
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 08:29 PM by dethl
If things to the way I think they're going (Gov. Richardson wants to close all branches of all state colleges and make himself the president of them all as well) then I'm looking into getting out of NM and the US. For you Canadians who post here (or anyone who knows), where would be a good university in Canada to go to for computer science?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: redid last sentence

| 6. I'm confused about the admission averages... |
|
What does this mean?
Admission average(s)
High 70s to low 80s (regular)
Low to mid-80s (co-op)

grades in the high 70's to low 80's for a full time student and low to mid 80's if you are in a 'placement' through the university program? .. ie: if you were working for a firm / company for credits? .. just a guess?

| 8. Those are percentages... |
|
as opposed to GPA. Canada does not use the SAT system.
I think the percentage to letter grade is (on average, it varies from school board to school board):
A+: 100 - 90
A : 85 - 90
A-: 80 - 85
B+: 75 - 80
B : 70 - 75
B-: 65 - 70
etc...
So it should be fairly easy to figure out from your maks.

It's called Daltech and is a separate school on its own. It used to be the Technical Uinveristy of Nova Scotia until a few years ago, when it was more or less forcibly absorbed into Dal.
Expensive, though, by Candian standards.
