One more factor for you:
Living in Waterloo is much cheaper than in Toronto. You may save up to $100 per month.

Where're you now? Ca or Cn?

If you're interested in research field, you need a master's degree.

If you want to earn good money, UofW is a good choice.

As I know, Master's degree is not a must in IT field.

apply for loan for undergraduate study?

UW's CS undergrad is very hard to graduate. Somebody said that UW is 'Canadian MIT'. Although I do not think it is comparable with MIT, it is somehow like MIT for the difficulties in undergrad study. Quite a few can not complete their study. (They must maintain an average of 65/100 otherwise they are required to withdraw. Even some local students have to study/work for 24 hours in the final stage for their projects and examinations. Typically the average of each course here, based on my TA experience, is only around 70/100 and even 60/100 for some tough courses) Those who can get bachelor degree are mostly among the most talented students in Canada. Do not think you can complete it with ease once you can pay the tuition, as in China. Graduate
study, although not easy also, is not so tough.


York is not bad. But remember it is in Toronto. Because most Chinese immi. in Toronto apply for its graduate study, especially for those who do not want to waste time on UT and UW. So it is still not so easy to be accepted due to the tough competition. If you are accepted by it, I will say
Congrat. It is a good result.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

1 工作经验。如果你要和教授面谈，而您的工作经历(包括大学的实验室工作)与
教授的研究有相通之处，那么，恭喜您。所以，可以先查看教授的主页，找出工作
比较相似的，以便有的放矢。

2 大学成绩。GPA 高很有帮助。好象 UW 也特看重大学成绩。

3 GRE。请注意，很多移民来加的人过去考过 GRE 并申请过美国学校，但大多成绩不高(高的就去美国了)，大约在 1900 - 2000 范围内，不是未被美国录取，就是没有签出来。他们到了加拿大也会选择上学，
这时他们手里的 GRE 成绩就有优势了。即使 YORK 不要求 GRE，如果他有一个
2000 的成绩而您没有，学校会录取谁呢？如果您有时间，不妨考一下，2000
左右就可以了。
