eng phys
How many spots are available in eng phys, and is there any chance that the cut-off will magically be above a 4 this year? Because I've heard it's really easy to get into...

I think everyone will be extremely surprised if anyone is turned away from eng phys.

Agreed. If you're wanting to get into eng phys, I'm sure you'll do fine even if you had a minimal grade average. It's not exactly the most prime of interests for most of the first years (at least, most of those that I know).

Is there alot of focus on Quantum mechanics/phyics in Engineering Physics. Because thats what i'm really interested in learning. Right now, I am in high school. I'm coming to mac definitely but i can't make up mind. I have narrowed my choices down to two programs, Physical Sciences or Engineering (Engineering Physics). If anyone can help me decide which path to take, i would really appreciate that.

Well, I can't really give much insight into whether or not Engineering Physics contains a lot of quantum mechanics, since I'm only first year, but I can tell you that engineering physics will give you a lot more job opportunities in the future. |

That sounds more like straight physics. |

I know a few eng phys graduates right now - they've got jobs at TV stations making sure the feeds get through, and working ontario's nuclear power plants!
If youre really into research, either is good, but for a practical type job eng phys is probably the better selection....
yay robots!

There are also probably many opportunities for eng phys grads in Iran or North Korea.
