Hi, I am an International student (from India) and want to apply for the Mechanical Engg. Course @ McGill. Having heard from many places that McGill is one of the top universities in Canada, I wanted to have an informed opinion so I request all those who can help me 2 plzz do so.
Actually i am doing a Diploma in Mechanical Engg. here in India, which is equal to CEGEPs so do have to apply as a Transfer student or a Freshman?

Suggest to me some other university if McGill in not that good for Mech. Engg.

Money is also an object so tell me what is the standard of living on campus is it very costly for international students?

I wanted to know how the students atmosphere was @ McGill’s and the outlook towards foreigners & Indians like me?

What are the admission prerequisites for getting an admission for an International Student, I looked it up on the net but it doesn’t tell me much so an international student out there plzz guide me, Tell me if i need to give SATs because i haven’t and if its compulsory. I have a score of 109 in my TOEFL iBT. If i need to appear for any further examinations or the like plzz do tell, all suggestions are welcome.

Also what about Letters of recommendations and SOPs or Essays? Does McGill need any?

If u are and international student already pursuing Mechanical Engg. or know someone who is currently pursuing it, I would be really grateful if I could get your/ their Contact.

As I am Planning to apply for the September '09 admissions and the deadline for it is January 15, so plzz help as soon as possible !!!
