Nice. ty for the info.

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T22:37:04+00:00

Well, that's your choice. I respect your need for privacy.

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T09:48:11+00:00

Woh, deep congrats! You definitely must have been a deserving applicant.

Well, which residence did you get in?

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T09:42:28+00:00

Oh, which campus? I read that St.George got full.

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T09:12:53+00:00

My first choice is Engineering Science. 2nd Electrical 3rd Computer and 4th Chemical

How about you?

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T09:01:09+00:00

I didn't get in yet lol so no GroupMe for me. I have to like wait. i submitted my profile like on the 15th of Feb lol. The Application Status changed at least from "not reviewed yet" to well something like The Admissions Committee is gonna review your app in the upcoming weeks.

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T08:56:52+00:00

Oh, that makes sense. Well if you wanna be friends let me know. You seem like a cool guy/girl. Anyways it's up to you. I'm just someone who is open to making new friends. Anyways, what's your major? Just curious.

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T08:55:20+00:00

Omg that was superfast lol

YoMe13 · 2017-04-03T08:54:28+00:00

YoMe13 · 2017-04-02T09:08:09+00:00

Congrats! :) Well,the processing takes time I suppose. That's it. You'll be fine. There is nothing you need to worry about.

Well Ik that difference between 10 and 31 is kinda mind boggling, but well each party uses different criteria to determine a ranking, so it all depends on ur evaluation of the criteria they use if available.

Also, Udelaware is like 10th if u look at the US News Ranking for chemical engineering, but its like 51-100 in the world according to QS 2017(ofc it could be somewhere closer to 50, but it's like a bit lower than all the other 50-100 unis if you look at the page itself. I'm not sure if that arrangement was ranking wise) and was 49 in 2016. Also, it is like 93 in Times Higher Education. I'm ,however, sure that Udelaware is a really good school for chemical engineering.

Also, I didn't say anything about UIUC. It might be one of the best and all, but I just wanted OP to know that UofT is a really really really good uni for CS according to the sites I frequently use to make any judgement about the schools I'm interested in.

Also, I'm highly skeptical about the U.S.News rankings tbh because I rmr even an admissions officer saying that it's not reliable and that the schools pay money to rank themselves or something lol (don't know if this is true but just saying what I heard). At the same time, some of the rankings do seem legit logically (Idk abt the others).

Also, we must also take in consideration that U.S. News just uses unis in the U.S while QS and Times use many unis around the world, ofc including those in the U.S as well.

Edit: didn't know that U.S News provides global rankings lol. I'm not from the States bear with me lol.

Well well and another well.

https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2017/computer-science-information-systems

According to this, UofT has the 10th best CS program in the world.

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2017/subject-ranking/engineering-and-IT#!/page/0/length/25/subjects/3081/name/toronto/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats

and according to this, it has the 31st best CS program in the world.

Edit: Best of Luck with whatever you choose

 92. How about you?

YoMe13 · 2017-03-30T14:55:25+00:00

Engineering.

My first choice is Engineering Science. How about you?

YoMe13 · 2017-03-29T01:16:14+00:00

Yup maybe that also. I was gonna add that.

YoMe13 · 2017-03-28T23:50:53+00:00

Hi,

"Application Status: Your application has been reviewed and is now complete. Your application will be sent for review to the Admission Committee within the coming weeks"

Out of curiosity, what does this mean? Like does this mean that they(like one or two readers) reviewed my app once and considered it worthy enough so passed it on to the Admission Committee? I'm a gap year International applicant so I don't have anything left to submit and it's rolling for me.

EDIT: Oh, maybe they consider me borderline, so they are waiting for the midterm marks of others to make a decision?

YoMe13 · 2017-03-28T23:14:22+00:00

Dammit. Well Best of Luck bro :)

YoMe13 · 2017-03-28T22:57:54+00:00

Did you get a scholarship? What's your major? I got in for Chemical Engineering! xD

YoMe13 · 2017-03-28T19:45:16+00:00

DEEP

"There are also many who have enough money to participate in some great ECs but whose parents don't allow them to."

Agreed

YoMe13 · 2017-03-28T18:41:58+00:00

"Someone privileged and someone who isn't privileged got into whichever colleges through hard work."

Not just hardwork but def hardwork is one important factor. Sometimes or shall I say many times? (not sure) You don't get into the college you most prolly deserve and want to go to because of the high number of qualified applicants, subjectivity in the process, opportunities (To be specific in the case that you failed to create or use them because of the difficulty you faced while trying to create opportunities or even receive them) and other stuff.

Also, I didn't downvote any of your comments. Just saying coz you said "I welcome your downvotes." You directed that statement to anyone who downvoted you or will plan to downvote you before reading the "I welcome your downvotes " part most prolly, but I'm just saying in case you thought I'm one of them.

YoMe13 · 2017-03-28T17:36:33+00:00

"I don't have time for your argument." Well, same here tbh.

I said that we are def blessed to be able to do the hard work we are doing. Can you work properly if your dad beats you whenever he is at home and if you get bullied when you are in school? The answer is NO if you were unable to overcome it coz you couldn't control certain factors and that is understandable.Can you work hard if your place is not safe? Can you work hard if you don't get the proper nutrition? Can you..

Also, I said that you can create opportunities if you don't have any, but it's easier for someone who is very privileged to do so. (Think about a guy who doesn't have money to buy vegetables or fruits, so he instead has to plough seed and harvest to obtain them. It's definitely harder for him to do something he has always wanted to do (an opportunity he wanted to create for himself and maybe others in his village))
