Hello everyone,
I'm in my first year of the International Baccalaureate program (gr 11) at Ashbury College (Ottawa, Canada) and have a strong interest in maths and sciences. I would like to go into aerospace/mechanical engineering, and then work for NASA. My greatest aspiration is to become an astronaut, but University comes before NASA.
I have a few different Canadian Universities in mind, it would be amazing to get into the US but extremely costly and difficult. So for now, which Canadian Universities should I look further into? So far I have been thinking Waterloo, Queens, McGill, or U of T.
I was hopoing to perhaps hear from others who have attended these schools, what they like/dislike about them, quality of education, etc...as well as what it takes to get into them.
Also, if I were to attend a Canadian school such as one of the ones above, how difficult would it be to get a job with NASA, coming from Canada?
Thanks,
-Jonathan
PS - this is off topic but how does GPA compare to a Cdn high school average, or and IB mark?
