Hi, I am a current first year eng student at westen that will hopefully be attending engineering at Mac next year if all goes well. I have a few questions for anyone who could help; what kind of grades are acceptable for transfer students to be admitted into second year end programs - i know most 2nd year programs require atleast a 4.0 CA which is roughly a 62 - is it the same for transfers? Also the co-op program at western is bullshit and useless, is it any good at Mac?
And does anyone have any insight on the software eng (game design) program, is it like a typial software eng program with some game design courses in 3rd or 4th year or a game - related project? The software game design stream is not accredited i noticed as well, does this mean graduates cannot become proffesional engineers?
And some questions about Mac life
. At western the residences are VERY **** about security and drinking... we can't even visit other residences without being signed in and in Saugeen every floor is locked with key access for that floor only, and RA'S are keen to break up drinking games and bust parties, how is it at Mac? How is the downtown scene too? Or are parties usually happening in rez?I noticed that rez's are close when I visited which is nice.
Thanks a lot , and any help is appreciated! Its hard trying to decide what to do after you've realized that the school you've chosen is not for you.
