it\'s hard to answer because every individual person has his/her individual case. but the bottom line of Toefl score for undergraduate admission is lower---550---if it\'s not changed yet. -zara(蛋糕); 2000-7-21 {514} (#3876@0)
If you feel the course load is too heavy,
you can consider either reducing your course load or taking courses at cegep or even getting a DEC diploma(all quebec high school graduates are required to study at cegep---college---before entering local universities, and they should have transfer credit assessment service too), then you only need at most 6 semesters to get your bachelor\'s degree. Vanier College, and Dawson College are public cegep with good reputation, same for champlain college in south shore.

Thank you, zara. Compared with CS of Concordia Univ., which is better? Mcgill? or Concordia? -amy(ss); 2000-7-21 (#3885@0)

if you just want to find job in local area of montreal, concordia is OK. But, its overall is not in the same level as where mcgill stands. -zara(蛋糕); 2000-7-21 (#3886@0)

So the study in Concordia is easier? I change my major from other area which is not related with CS. I am afraid that I can not survive. -amy(ss); 2000-7-21 (#3888@0)

it\'s ok as long as u like sitting in front of computer and maths. however as I know, the admission to concordia is very competitive, even for the diploma program. but once u can get in, u will find many chinese friends there. -zara(蛋糕); 2000-7-22 (#3935@0)

McGill is a good university, but its CS is really poor as to some of my friends. But if you have a degree here in CS, there is no problem to find a job and no big difference where you graduate. -ycc(carol); 2000-7-21 (#3839@0)

the problem of cs@mcgill might be that the dept is quite small, if u count faculty members. but it\'s still not easy for undergraduate students to get survived. -zara(蛋糕); 2000-7-21 (#3843@0)
Huge difference between schools!How may schools do -guest:you know?; 2000-7-21 (#3869@0)

hmm, good question...... -zara(蛋糕); 2000-7-21 {289} (#3870@0)
definitely more than you since I\'ve been hanging around north america and on/off line for much longer time than you:-)But you may know much more Chinese schools than I do --- I only have a little idea about what\'s happening at no more than 4 top engineering/science schools in China.
