When you apply threw ouac to mcmaster there are 2 options for engineering

engineering I or Engineering I (COOP)

I got accepted into the COOP one

does it make a difference?

EDIt: also whats tuition for regular Engineering program with and with out books

Can you just make one thread for all your questions?

lol they come to me from time to time

dont tell me when u got into uni u had no questions at all

You could find a more exact calculation by using the following sites:

McMaster Bookstore (Search for Engineering and Elective Textbooks):
http://www.bookstore.mcmaste r.ca/c...urs ematerial

Tuition and Other Costs:
http://www.mcmaster.ca/bms/student/p...s_included.pdf

Assume that you take 30 units, because you are most likely to do so.

I think he means just post in one thread when you have more questions instead of making a new one every time.

Physics-81
Religion-81( midterm)
Comtech-81(midterm)
Calculus -75 ( midterm)

WHAT ARE MY CHANCES NOW TOTAL AVEARAGE: 80.8% . PLEASE CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY SUGGUESTION. I ALSO ASKED FOR MARK BOOSTER IN CAL AND IN RELIGION. Do you think i will get an alternate offer for non coop. I am really freaking out. Please anyone for good advice

First, I checked the McMaster site, then I hit the search button on MI, then on Google, then if I still can't find an answer (which didn't happen), I would make one post and continue from there.

I think I already answered your question about the co-op in a previous thread, but anyways I will answer it again. No, it doesn't make a difference. All the people who want to complete co-op have to first be enrolled in the course Eng 1EE0. If you do not complete this course you can't apply for co-op therefore you do not get any extra privileges by choosing co-op or non co-op when applying through OUAC. Basically you still have to go through the same process as everyone else who is accepted as a non-co-op Engineering I.

For Tuition you are looking to be paying between $7500 - $8500 or at least that is what I payed 2 years ago. As you reach upper years you will be paying more like $8500-$9000.

Books are overpriced. Make friends with upper years so that they can tell you which books are worth buying and which are not. I can assure you from now that you won't use all the books that they tell you to buy so don't go on a shopping spree on your first week in university buying all your books because you will be spending close to $1000 on books if you do that. Buying the newest version doesn't matter either because lets face it, has the math or physics changed much in the past 500 years ? If you follow these instructions about books you can get away with paying $300-$500 on books.

1. NEVER BUY FROM THE MCMASTER BOOK STORE.
2. ALWAYS BUY YOUR BOOKS SECOND HAND IN GOOD CONDITION.
3. IF YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH AN OLDER EDITION DO IT.
4. NEVER BUY THE SOFTWARE THEY ASK YOU TO BUY. YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND OTHER SOURCES TO GET IT FROM.

If you follow these 4 commandments when buying books you will save tonnes of money which you can spend on beer. Thats right, you heard me. BEER !!! I can assure you, you will need it.

lol any one know what happened to that terry boy with an 80.8%

And thanks that is all

Does not make a difference in first year if you pick Co-Op or not. You can always enter Co-Op even if you did not originally enter it.

Tuition this year without books was about $9100.

Before you buy used books, try to find a digital free ebook. Like for example, the book you need for Math and its solution manual is available online.

Yeah, I had zero. It's not hard to figure it out as you go. Or, in your case, find all the info you need yourself.

there is no diference between eng coop and non coop. only difference is u have to take a non credit resume wiritng course and ur requirement to graduate is 1 years worth of coop. Coop does pay an extra 75-100 bucks each year. Also note, once u get into coop, u are not allowed to get out. However, you can go into coop any time u wish. So if i were u, sign up for non coop and think about it and do it later

Makes no difference. I applied to the none co-op and added co-op this year (second year). You can make your program co-op anytime you like.

Question engineering.
Question everything.
