McGill and UofT Applicants 2012

Oh wow all honours kids here. No love for majors students?

What electives are people taking? Anyone taking Politics classes?

You dont need to meet him. Just mailing him is fine and he'll approve it on your minerva ID within a day or two. Joint honours in Econ/Finance right?

No time for electives here :P

I tryed to follow you into majors but full classes so haha

Some required courses are full, can he still squeeze me in? even by mail?
Ok I guess I'll give it a go, if you have the e-mail of the Desautel adviser that'd be cool, there's lots of them not sure which to pick...

Honours in Econ only, hey I want to have some free time! Considering many do a major in Finance only, and few people manage to complete the honours in econ, doing both would be quite an achievement!

What about you?

Haha oh I need help, every semester should I be doing 2 classes for each major and one elective or can you do it however you like? i am still unsure about Math and whether I should take any.

Lool how are you sendingnlegal documents and your final alevel results?

Anyone knows by any chance how to learn Math 140, Math 141 and Math 222 (calculus 1,2 ,3) by ourselves?

I struggle to find the courses contents on Google, or even the textbooks used in these courses.

However you like I guess, really not sure lol. Exam board will send my results mid august directly and I'll send the legal docs by courier too I guess.

Suprising part is I've still not got my CAQ. It got approved way back but still hasn't reached me. How long did it take for you?

Haha nice, might drop calc 2 then. How did you organise that, online? What legal documents do we send. Caq, study permit and...

Wth? They are taking their time with you, mine took about 3 weeks. Lol i would say call up but you might have to hear some french opera when on hold, again lol.

CAQ, Permit, Passport and in some situations a temporary res visa and medical examination ( only some countries ). So your all good to go I guess.

Yeah, will give them a call soon. Worst case I suppose they would give it to me when I reach there directly, not sure.

Cheers! Yes, I need to send it to them and I'm done with that.

Haha yeah I suppose, but it should be done soon I'm guessing they will be more busy at the moment than when I sent my app.

Which frosh you going to? Arts yeah?

Probably yeah, not sure tbh. I'm actually quite shy and not sure how adjusting to montreal is going to be haha.

We use James Stewart's Calculus Full text(single & several variables). Chapters 1 to 12 for calc 1 & 2, except 9, and the rest for Calc 3.

If you want to have an idea of what is calc 2 or 1, here are the McGill pages for them:

-Math 141(Calc 2) Winter 2012: http://www.math.mcgill.ca/drury/teaching/math141w12/math141w12.php
-Math 140(Calc 1) Fall 2012 this is for this year: http://www.math.mcgill.ca/drury/teaching/math140f12/math140f12.php

Oh wow all honours kids here. No love for majors students?

I'm taking comparative gov and politics this term I've just registered for a bunch of different classes within the Arts faculty,is that normal? I'm so confused by all this major/honours/credits talk,it works so different here in England,you just pick a course and get handed your timetable,I think I'm going to have a lot to get used to!

For those who do Honours Economics, I thought we had to take both Econ 250 and Econ 257 in first year, but I was only able to register for Econ 250 and not Econ 257 as it is full. There are fewer places available for Econ 257, and I for sure am not quite understanding why.

Awesome so am I! You are going to McGill right? Haha yes. It is doing my head in as well, I keep changing my courses because there are so many options and I am trying to make sure I can wake up later than 10am at least 3 days a week . LOL I know its so much simpler here, people just turn up to class (lazy gits :P). I am excited though, despite it being a new country n'all.

The 2011 thread was very popular last year and I found it very helpful, so here's the new one.

Questions, answers, worries, problems, stories? Fire away.

(I've been through the application process for both as an international).
