<p>Hey! hi everyone, i come from canada. it is my first time to visit this site and i think it’s cool.</p>
<p>I am a high school grad this year but i decide to take a year off because im only 16. next year, i will be working in UBC as a lab assistance. For the matter of fact, i realize that most of the ivy league’s admissions deadline are done pretty early so i better have my decision made as soon as possible. i am wondering that would it be a good idea to stay in UBC because i already know ppl well since i will be working with prof in that department next year. or i should try ivy league in us? does it really make a big different for undergrad sutdy? i think UBC or Prienceton (for instance) are both among the top notch research university in world, is that really a huge different between them? </p>
<p>i also wonna ask abt do anyone know anything (like reputation) abt university of waterloo in ontario,canada? because i heard that they have a good math department. would it be as capable as ivy league in term of math?</p>
<p>I am sorry to tell you this but those schools in Canada don’t even come close to matching top Public Universities in America. The Ivy leagues schools are some of the best schools in the world and they surpass even the top Canadian schools by miles and miles.</p>
<p>it might be worth applying to some US schools, but if you’re doing the research already you might decide you want to stay. working with the professor before even starting is a great opportunity.</p>
<p>re sheed30, thank you for comment, i agree that canadian university doesn’t come close to us in term of education because they are all public and only focus on research. however, i think it is pretty much the kind of environment that i perfer.</p>
<p>re TheVeganActress, thanks a lot, i think you got exactly what i mean, i just think it would be so cool that if i can keep dealing with those prof and researches during my undergrad studies as i know them well. apparently, they can offer me opportunities that i couldn’t get anywhere else. on the other hand, compare to school like ivy leagues or cambridge, oxford or lcu in uk, which one is more likely to be the most fit program? i have no idea about what is going on in us or uk.</p>
<p>ps: im an international student so i don’t want to eliminate my options.</p>
