Does anyone know when Waterloo and UofT send the majority of their offers? I think after that date is when we could finally get a cutoff avg for McMaster's engineering program.

I already accepted another program from ther ebecause I got tired of waiting - I didn't think, however, that accepting another offer would instantly make them not give my other considerations a chance. I called McMaster today and spoke to someone in admissions. She told me that if you are a 101 applicant, the computer will assess your file and if you are above the cut off then you will be given an acceptance. If you are a 105 applicant then an admissions officer has to manually review your file and if you are above the cut off, you will be given an acceptance. She also told me that if you are above the cut off for the program, you will be accepted. McMaster will not reject you. She said the program won't fill up. I don't think it's possible for the program not to fill up. Anyone else call them and receive similar information? did they happen to say wat the cutoff is?

I'm pretty sure most of their offers come out this month. salman2323 wrote:did they happen to say wat the cutoff is? They did not, but people who have received an acceptance were told to maintain an average of 82%. I think it's safe to assume that 82% is the cut-off.

I called mac today, and they said at the end of next week, they will have a good estimate at their cutoff average for the program. They said it was at 86% right now, so I asked if it would go down to around ~84% after end of next week, and she said that she is not sure, but she did say that this year's application pool is much stronger than last years, and last years cutoff was 83%.

I am hoping it will go down to 83.5% at least, because personally all the offers they sent out where to people/friends with 86%+ average that are waiting for Waterloo and UofT to send them offers, so maybe end of next week, they will have a rough estimation on who accepts Mac's offers and then lower the cutoff with that data.
So now we just have to wait for Waterloo and UofT to send the majority of their offers out and see how it goes..

Are they gonna send out any acceptances to people with 84~85 averages? Someone told me if you have a 84+ you'd pretty much get an acceptance :( Mechatronics ----> University of Western Ontario ----> Applied ----> Pending
Engineering I ---> McMaster University ---> Applied ---> Waiting
Mechanical Engineering ---> University of Guelp ---> Applied ----> Accepted
Mechanical Engineering ---> Ryerson University ---> Applied ----> Accepted

I can't really see the cutoff not dropping... I'm sure an overwhelming amount of people (especially those with >90 averages) will likely have other program choices. University of Waterloo: Systems Design Engineering

Don't worry guys on their twitter they said their next round of engineering offers are coming in the next few business days. :) Let's hope they drop the average to atleast 85% this time  McMaster University

Congratulations! Yes, it's very similar to chemical engineering. In fact you do more chemistry in Materials Engineering than Chemical Engineers do haha. Materials is all about bonds of atoms and their structures. Chem Eng is more about chemical systems and processes. Not too much of the stereotypical pouring beakers into each other and seeing an explosion that you'd usually see in Chemistry courses haha.
If you're interested in specifically what you'd learn in Materials Engineering vs Chemical Engineering, here are the courses you'd take, and yes, there is some cross-over.
How competitive is it to get into the Chemical Engineering or Civil Engineering streams at McMaster? Fall 2012 Application
Ryerson University - Biomedical Engineering: Accepted
Ryerson University - Undeclared Engineering (Entry Option Only): Accepted
Carleton University - Biomedical & Mechanical Engineering (Co-op): Accepted
University of Ontario Institute of Technology - Nuclear Engineering/Nuclear Engineering and Management: Accepted

Not so much for Chemical since a very large chunk of engineers despise chemistry (in my experiences anyways xD) haha, so it's usually not too competitive. Civil is much more popular, and is competitive to get into. You'd probably have to end first year with an average in the low 70s to get in which is very doable, but definitely difficult.

ALRIGHT, guys.
I JUST CALLED.
Here is what they said to me.
They said:
1. They will only review the FIRST program you have applied there for. If you, for example, apply to two programs, they will only look at your first choice there. You have to TELL them to review the other choice as well, early enough so that there are spots for you to get in. I applied to Math & Stats and Engineering there. I got my Math & Stats offer in January. I won't be getting an engineering one...
2. To anyone applying to engineering at McMaster that hasn't got it, you will not be getting in. The admissions officer (whoever, the head honcho, I bitched and complained untilt hey put me through to the head honcho) told me that engineering is on HOLD and they are not admitting anymore people. She said that the probability of you getting in NOW is basically zero, since it's full and completely wait listed. So, if you applied to engineering and aren't in, you will not be getting in with almost complete certainty.

I got into engineering 1 with an 83 average (cause of some business class i skipped), like 5 months ago, but i did get 91+ in chem and bio , and no pvt school or any of that crap  Serious BusinessYork- African Studies --> RejectedNippissing- Commerece --> RejectedLaurentian- Communication --> RejectedAlgoma- Anishinaabemowin --> WaitingUofT- Engineering Science --> Waiting (Pleasee)

Does anyone know if it is possible to be rejected from your chosen stream after first year? I was leaning towards civil engineering, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to handle the competitive environment of being accepted into second year. I'm going to May@Mac tomorrow to make my final decision, but if any could give me their two cents, it'd be much appreciated. McMaster Univesity: Engineering I (Co-Op) (FIRST YEAR)

Yeah im goin there too, worried that biomed engineering is out of the question, who knows maybe were gonna be screwed Like you, i have been accepted to ryerson for my stream, but do you think ryerson is good?
