AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting an engineering school in Ontario, specifically for mechanical engineering. The individual is considering the University of Toronto (UofT), University of Waterloo, McMaster University, Queen's University, and Western University, expressing concerns about their academic average potentially limiting their options to McMaster, Queen's, and Western. McMaster is noted for its co-op program, while there is uncertainty about the reputations of Queen's and Western. Participants are asked to share experiences regarding the quality of these programs, particularly co-op and internship opportunities, as well as insights into extracurricular activities that could enhance the applicant's profile for acceptance. The conversation seeks to clarify the strengths of each institution and the value of their respective internship programs.

Hello all,
I am currently in grade 12 and looking to apply for engineering (possibly mechanical) but I am not sure which schools to choose from.

I live in Ontario and would prefer a school within the province. The schools that I am interested in are UofT, Waterloo, McMaster, Queens, and possibly Western. My average is not that strong and I don't think I will make it to Waterloo or UofT so I think the reasonable choices would be Mcmaster, Queens, and Western. I know for a fact that McMaster offers co-op but am not familiar with the other two universities and also heard that McMaster is a good school for engineering. However, other forums have people saying that McMaster is a joke and Queens is as good as UofT and Waterloo. Western I haven't heard much of but threw that into the mix as their admission requirement is relatively high so it has to be quite decent.

Does anyone currently attend these schools? Which school is better and reasons why? Also, I have heard of Queens internship program (?), can someone explain to me what that is and how the co-op/internship programs and opportunities differ in each of the schools?

Thanks :)

Can anyone recommend any EC's that I should be involved into strengthen my chances of acceptance?

Much appreciated,
