The highest possible CA is a 12. Having around a 9 or 10 thought will get you into any stream you want.

No only a zerois a failure. Here is a better explaination http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /calen...ent/pg145.html

Right off the registrar's website:


Admission to Level II Engineering programs requires completion of all non-elective Engineering I courses with a minimum Cumulative Average (CA) of 4.0. All programs have limited enrolment; should there be more applicants than the limiting number in any program, admission to that program will be based on a points system, computed as the product of the Sessional Average (SA) and the number of units taken in the session (a minimum of 31 units will be used in the calculation). Students who do not meet the requirements to proceed to Level II in May will have a Pending flag put on their allocation. The Pending flag will be removed in August if the student completes the requirements over the summer.

In addition, admission to a B.Eng.Mgt. program requires the completion of ECON 1B03 with a minimum grade of 5.0; an interview may also be required.
Students admitted to a B.Eng.Society program are required to submit a statement indicating the educational objectives for the focus electives.

Students seeking admission to the Engineering and Management program, the Engineering and Society program, or the Engineering and International Studies program must first be admitted to the relevant department. Thereafter, they will be considered for admission to one of these three programs.

Do we have to do interview for B.Eng.Mgt ?

I really hate interview :( wat about society?

That paragraph is the first I have heard of it, so don't know. No one I know of had to do an interview though. Maybe its for the students who are barely making the cutoff? Not sure :(

This^

I've never heard of Interviews - but I do recall reading it in the past on the guidelines.

OK, I can understand the cutoff for Biomed being high, but why is there such a demand for civil?

This seems the easiest engineering field to gert into at other universities.

Also suprised to see mechanical higer than mechatronics.

Thats exactly why. Since it is known as the easiest engineering stream, people put it as a backup.

highest is a 12 .. make friends with those ppl

Is it possible to get Science cutt offs as well?

Btw, this is my 150th postttt!! I might not post another one for a while lol.

its 12 and im still not in uni

what the fuck just happened

Stephen!! its called planning!

still not sure abt Materials or chemical!

Engineering is by far the toughest undergraduate program on campus.
