Imperial Chemical Engineering Offers?

Well, the financial aspect of it really depends on where you are right now (and citizenship, in some cases). For you in Vancouver, of course McGill would be much cheaper. But for most people on this forum living in England, going to uni in Canada is a lot more expensive (though not quite as much as the US) than staying to study in the UK. The gap will probably get a lot tighter when those new tuition fees kick in for the 2012 entry year though (in the UK I mean).

The McGill campus is old (the university was founded in the 1820's) but for those of you interested in the chemical engineering program at McGill, the building housing the chem eng department was build in the late 1990s, so fairly new.

And I agree with Sydneysmith, U of T is probably the best in Canada for engineering, with UBC, McGill and Waterloo close behind (in no particular order).

To actually answer your question, I personally would choose McGill, but only to save money.

Did you apply to U of T? That was my second choice. To me, is a better school for engineering than UCL plus you can save a lot of money (and then try applying to Imperial again for your masters).

Also, as much as people turn their nose up at it, Waterloo has a very good engineering department.

Hey I'm from Canada as well and I was thinking of applying to Mcgill for mechanical engineering, but decided not to. Honestly, I visited Mcgill two years ago, I didn't really like the campus. It is kind of old for my taste. However, overall it is good overall uni. But if I was choosing between UCL and Mcgill I would go with UCl, the reason behind this is McGill is more well known for liberal arts and social sciences, so I don't think going there for engineering would be a good idea. On the other hand UCL in my opinion is a better option for Chem Engineering because the program is shorter, just 3 years, and I heard the engineering there is pretty decent. I haven't seen the campus though. That's my take

thanks a lot guys, though the discussion hasn't helped me make up my mind, I can surely add some points to my pro/con table. Now that I just got an offer from Imperial, I will be pursuing Chemical Engineering there, unless I fail to meet my offer requirements. Choosing between UCL and McGill can wait, and really for me I think the only factor between them would be the employment prospects for an international student. Thanks again!

Congratulations on your offer!!! What are the conditions by the way?

If you really have to choose between UCL and McGill in the end, which I doubt so, go to UCL if you can afford it. The best way to avoid this is to study hard and get the grades

Congrats! See you there in October! (granted we both make our conditions...don't know about you, but i refuse to be beat by calculus)

A coursemate of mine has an offer for Chem Eng.
39 IB Points and 7 in Maths HL (don't remember other conditions)

As an international student, you were called for an interview by Imperial ? I doubt they ever interview international students outside the UK

hi i am a n international student too!!
however, i havent heard a thing from ICL for my application to the engineering course!
i am really worried !!
Do i still stand a chance??
who hasnt recieved anything yet(for chem engineering)

same here but i ve already got an offer from chemistry department. im just wondering is my wrong subject personal statement that make me receive no news from them...

OMG!!!!!!ME TOO!!!
i have gotten the offer from chem department two weeks after i submitted my app!! BUTTTTT.. for chem engineering...there is still no news.. now i start to wonder if they will ignore those application who have already gotten the offer from the other departments....

mine was in march, and i got in. Ive been crushing pussy ever since

exactly same situation... did u mention more about chem eng or chem in ur ps?? where r u from?? anyway, when u really look through this thread u will find some people got their offer in march so no worries and at this moment no news is good news, at least both of us didnt get a direct rejection btw, any offer from elsewhere??

Hey I wanted to ask any of you if i'd have chances on getting any offers form imperial for chemical engineering next year (2011/2012) with these IB grades,

Maths HL 6
Physics HL 6
CHemistry HL 7
Geography SL 7
French SL 7
English SL 5

thanks alot

Yeah, I think accents might even help as they are showing diversity. I plan on applying next year for chemical engineering next year. But I feel it's very competitive! Is it really that hard to get in ?
