SFU or Mcmaster Computer Science
Hi got an offer of admission for Masters in Computer science at McMaster for September intake. But my result for SFU is still pending till October for January intake. I'm in dilemma of which university is better for Masters in Computer science. And which one has better opportunities in terms of Research and Placement.

If you guys can help me out with it and share some of your experience that will be great. Thank you in advance for help.

Then, you're too ridiculous to have ever heard of SFU, and to know that it's a strong University.

Anything is better than McMaster when it comes to comp sci and software.

Plus:
- it will teach you to travel, which is useful in your prof career
- SFU campus is pretty fucking sweet

Have you seen this?

Wow, just awesome.
I dont know why, but SFU seems like a maximum security correctional facility, I would not like to live in prison, I tell you that..
Check out Kirkland Correctional Institution photo and compare:

SFU is, I dont know how to phrase it, I dont think there is a word in dioctionery to say how pathetic it is. Hamilton is a great place to be, McMaster, as we all agree is FAR MORE better than SFU, or it's campus.

If you read past comments from georgelucas, you will soon realize that he has not an ounce of respect for CAS at McMaster. It seems as if it is the disgusting hatred which can never be cured. It is just simply pathetic. His words have no basis.

It teaches you to travel is a joke. It is like saying what is the benefit of going to school? Walking on the way helps me exercise, it is irrelevant..

Did you know? For the very FIRST time in history, Mechatronics Engineering, a CAS programme, had level 2 cutoff of 10.9 this year? It only speaks of how good CAS is becoming at Mac.

ROFLCOPTER, I don't need to swear to have the audience realize the outright lunacy of your posts

2 posts prior, you cited SFU as nameless; Now you profess to know all about it, and you call it a prison, referencing 2 pictures that are NOT SFU; Your sentence structure is bogus ("It teaches you to travel is a joke"); and having 0 years of experience in CAS at Mac, you are praising it's wonderousness, and citing a cut-off value that is both unpublished and higher than any cut-off value for any engineering stream at mac, EVER (go ahead, ask the academic advisers.. Nothing has ever been a 10.9, or anywhere near that).

Nah, you're either a) doing an awful job at trolling now, or b) diagnosed with something that we should be showing you some kindness and leniency for, given the outrageous posts you frequently come up with, like this one.

Lol, that is the worst, and the most pathetic wack I have read in weeks.. I did verify it with academic advisor, I do know that Mechatronics cut-off was 10.9, and I do know thant engineering and management can be done in 4 years. What do you know? You are a smug, my forum pal..

Before you CRITICIZE other's grammar, look at how you dont even KNOW how to read. I am here voicing my "true" opinion, and I need no proper sentence to convey my message. I aint here writting essays...

Of course, everything is meant to be fun and games, but I dont mind if you take it personal..

And, I cant even begin to illustrate the absolute patheticness of someone who doesnt know how to read, but is far more willing to comment, and TROLL on other's(my) post. The first is a picture of McMaster University, if you did not know it. The second is a picture of Kirkland Corrdctional Institute, to compare it's picture with the picture of the so called "university", SFU, that george lucas posted.

I'm done responding to lunacy, as should others...

Anyways, for any future readers, it should be clear that from the very beginning of MacInsiders forums, that program cut-offs are NOT publicized or officially announced, and certainly not divulged to individual students; Furthermore, looking back at all previous threads, it should be clear that the typical upper-level cut-off is always cited in the 8-9 range... To get into various upper level programs at Mac then, you will NOT be required to achieve nearly an 11, to get into your program of choice.

I'll let the mods deal with the trolling from here on out

Lol, it used to be easy in your days pal.. Nowadays, hgih schoolers come in with 89% minimum into McMaster, and free choice is above 90%, so pretty much EVERYONE gets free choice, except a few, who have to FIGHT to get into their programs.. Gone are the days in 2010-2012 when cutoff to McMaster was 85%, and free choice was 90%. I am not saying you guys had it easy, but am saying high school marks are highly inflated now, with multiple loopholes, like summer school, night classes, private school, McMaster accepting repeated marks and stuff..

So, I verified it with an academic advisor, I dont know how else I can prove it to anyone that Mechatronics cut off was 10.9 this year.
