But know that your essay and what you told them about yourself helps them decide if they want someone like you attending there school. I got wait-listed but then accepted and they didn't tell me until the middle of the summer after i had already accepted another school so just wait a few more weeks and they should have a letter to you by then, i hope you filled out for other schools for back-ups though....Good Luck and i hope you get in.<br><b>References : </b><br> They could be still reviewing your application.You have a good chance of getting in.

The name of the university only matters if you go to U of Chicago, Northwestern, Harvard or any Ivy League school. It's easy to get into UIC but their classes are tough (from what I have heard). I'm going there next year (Biology major) and I will be taking a lot of classes that pre-med students are taking since I need them for the program that I am applying.<br><b>References : </b><br> I heard it’s good.

Here's a link to their film studies program: http://www.ryerson.ca/undergraduate/admission/programs/imagearts.html I don't think you need Math for to study film at Ryerson or other universities in Ontario, but regardless, your grades are pretty good. Ryerson only requires a minimum overall average of 70%. But, keep in mind that these programs are still very competitive because they base a lot of their admissions on your portfolio. See the link above for more information about the portfolio. I know a few people who are in Ryerson's Photography and New Media programs, and they're pretty happy with their decision to choose Ryerson over other places. Hope this helps.<br><b>References : </b><br> Ryerson. Here’s a link to their film studies program: http://www.ryerson.ca/undergraduate/admission/programs/imagearts.html

]]> Comment on Is the modern University system the most practical way to train professionals like Engineers, Accountants etc? by ronald.glass@sbcglobal.net http://www.succeedinginuniversity.info/university/is-the-modern-university-system-the-most-practical-way-to-train-professionals-like-engineers-accountants-etc/comment-page-1#comment-7354 ronald.glass@sbcglobal.net Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:24:59 +0000 http://www.succeedinginuniversity.info/university/is-the-modern-university-system-the-most-practical-way-to-train-professionals-like-engineers-accountants-etc#comment-7354 I think you are correct in that the university system is not the best way to educate many professions including engineering and accounting. In Great Britain, medical doctors are trained for the medical profession right after high school (their equivalent) and omit the courses normally required in a liberal arts education or the first two years of a University in America. If I recall they spend four years in med. school followed by two years of internship and another year or two if they are in a specialty. Therefore, they can be out and practicing medicine after six years or 23 or 24 years old or 25 or 26 with a specialty. I think accountants and engineers should spend 2 years in a school or university and another 2 years as interns with a business. After this and passing an exam, they should be fully qualified (certificated engineer or chartered accountant). The same could be done for teachers, lawyers, and almost any profession. Your point is well taken and the system should be changed. Very good idea on your part.<br><b>References : </b><br>M.A. Economics 1968 I think you are correct in that the university system is not the best way to educate many professions including engineering and accounting.
