The faculty directly or admissions officers?

Admissions Officers. My sister went in to talk to them today, and they sorted out her problem very quickly.

alright, thank you
was she at risk of being rescinded?

Fight0 · 07-16-2010 at 09:34 AM

Yeah, they didn't upload her nightschool class correctly, so she got a letter of rescindment. But they dealt with the issue very quickly.

good luck california , not saying to be fake, but make him/her feel sympathetic for you

britb · 07-16-2010 at 03:37 PM

Be polite, let them know you really want to go here and will try your best. They like to see that and might be more lenient.

I'd go travelling for a year.

MacPack · 07-16-2010 at 08:32 PM

What other schools did you apply to?

california · 07-17-2010 at 03:56 AM

i still have withstanding offers that i can apparently still accept from york, u of t, laurier, ottawa and carleton
but i really wanted mcmaster since i live so close, and i liked alot of the level II programs

anyways, so now im trying to figure out which of those schools would be the best for me to transfer to mac from
it's between laurier, carleton and laurier right now
any suggestions?

california · 07-17-2010 at 03:57 AM

* laurier carleton and york

MacPack · 07-17-2010 at 12:05 PM

wait what program? if for poli sci, i say Carleton or york. See if you can find the guide that says what courses are equivalent , more transfer credits the better

california · 07-19-2010 at 10:07 PM

do you think it'd be easier to get a competitive average for transfer at carleton in comparison to york?
and yes, poli sci

amitoj · 07-21-2010 at 03:46 PM

one of my cousins goes to carleton for poli sci. He also got into u of t, laurier, york and other amazing schools, but he chose carleton. The reason for that is its much easier to pull off high marks compared to york, u of t, etc. In the future, if for example law school is where you want to go, its better have marks high as possible, thus, he would choose Carleton over york. They are both good universities but its up to you to decide. Good luck.
