I'm not sure what offer to accept.
OttawaU:Biomedical Mechanical Engineering, co-op. $4000/year
OttawaU:Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering (2 degrees over 5 years. I don't remember whether or not it's co-op)$4000/year
Waterloo: Mathematics, co-op $2000/year
McGill: Science (like biology/chemistry stuff) No scholarship as of yet
McGill: Chemical Engineering. No scholarship as of yet
Queen's: General Science $4000/year **(If my average falls below 95%, it will only be $2000/year)**
Queen's: General Engineering $4000/year **(If my average falls below 95%, it will only be $2000/year)**
I live in Ottawa.
That means that Waterloo is like 7 hours away, which makes me not really want to go there.
I'm leaning towards engineering rather than just science, because it's like science but more in-depth, because you actually apply it.
Personally I'm leaning towards Queen's general engineering because it's not to far away, and I don't want to stay in Ottawa.
But with all the silly stuff aside, (i.e: "I don't want to stay in Ottawa)
Which PROGRAM would you say is the best for me to accept and why? I need help, as I need to decide by June 1st.

Which PROGRAM would you say is the best for me to accept and why? I need help, as I need to decide by June 1st. First of all, congratulations on the scholarships. Personally, the Waterloo offer seems very attractive because I love Math and they're renowned for their Math department. But judging from what you've said and your other applications, you probably prefer health sciences and engineering. Secondly "engineering rather than just science, because it's like science but more in-depth" is a big misconception. It is more applied but that doesn't mean it is more in depth. It is just different stuff. That being said, unless you'd pursue at least a Masters in science or go to med school, stick to Engineering. The first two programs seem very interesting (their relatively new fields too) but I don't like OttawaU (not much of a reputation when compared to the other universities). However, have you considered the costs of moving away? Perhaps OttawaU might be the best option for you. If not, there is Queens General Eng. and McGill Chem Eng.. I don't really now what General Engineering is but I've heard very good things about Queen's Engineering program. McGill is a great university too and Chem. Eng is a well paid profession. P.S. Please don't write in yellow unless you want us to strain our eyes. :)

if u want engineering, then mcgill is the best choice out of all the other engineering programs u got accepted into. but really, this is something u have to think about for urself, don't make a choice based on what random ppl on the internet tell u University of Waterloo Nano Eng 2016

Only you can decide whether you want to do engineering or science. As said above, engineering is more applied than a math or general sciences program. If you want pure theory, it's not for you. As far as which school, what kind of environment are you looking for? If you want to be in a big city you should choose McGill or OttawaU. If you want a more university town feel probably Queens or Waterloo

Which PROGRAM would you say is the best for me to accept and why? I need help, as I need to decide by June 1st. wow if you are freaking rich, choose mcgill but if i were you i would pick queen's engineering i mean it's 4000$ University of Toronto: Chemical Engineering --- Rejected...was 1st choice
University of Toronto: Computer Science --- Accepted (April 19th)
University of Waterloo: Chemical Engineering --- Accepted (April 7th)
McGill University: Electrical, Computer & Software Engineering --- Accepted. (Mar 12th)
University of Calgary: Engineering--- Accepted. (Mar 13th)

Depending on what you want to do. For bio/eng, I would pick McGill, and probably for chem eng. Since you can always switch out of eng into science with little consequence, it's a safer bet. uwnanoeng16

Would you definitely want to stick to the chemical stream? If so, Queen's general is nice because after 1st year, you can pick with chemical engineering or engineering chemistry. Chemical engineering is the traditional program, but engineering chemistry is more science-y , which sounds like it would appeal to you more. It is an Engineering Science, so while being an applied science, it also gives you all of the core science education. You can even get a Biochemistry/Engineering chemistry dual degree. Even if you don't, there's different specializations, and it's cool because you're in both an accredited engineering program and an accredited Honours chemistry program. Plus, it's Queen's engineering, which is super awesome (you can tell I'm a bit biased :) ) Nah, but I really think in your case, the program that gives you the best of both worlds is Queen's eng chem. Read up more here! http://chemeng.queensu.c...ograms-Chemical-Eng.php http://chemeng.queensu.ca/programs/Programs-Eng-Chemistry.php And on a side note, were you already offered the $4000? Because if your grades go down and they've already offered you the money, I'm pretty sure they don't take it away

I would say go with your gut feeling and lean towards engineering over math. Its a matter of preference.
