Hi, Thanks, Allouette. The fact is that I already have a MSc (well, I should have it by the end of the year ). You're right, Ryerson, Manitoba, Ottawa, UQAM, EPM do not require GRE scores. I'll focus on them.

Hi, Thanks for both your answers. Actually, some of them do, some don't. Would you advise me to apply without submitting GRE scores at all (if possible) ? I'm also thinking of working one year, to put some money aside, and gt back to grad school. Would you advise this ? I know that in France it is quite badly seen to stop your studies for a year or so (whatever the reason), is it the same in Canada ? Thanks again for your answers !

Hello, I guess this is "yet-another-topic-about-will-i-get-admitted"; sorry for this, and thanks for offering this forum. I'm actually in a MSc in Computer Science in France, considering a PhD in CS in Canada next year. I I synthetized my strengthes and weaknesses, I'd state them as follows : Strengths: Personal code prjects (involving some research, but in a personal way -- nothing supervised), active in teaching and research student clubs, highly motivated (== goos statement of purpose), 2/3 really good letters of recommendation. Weaknesses: GPA is decent but not sky-high (2.9-3/4), and GRE scores are the same (Quant: 156, Verbal: 155, AW: Haven't received yet). What do you think my chances are for application in a PhD ? I am considering applying to the MSc instead (I don't mind needing one more year to get to the PhD, if it is what it takes), what do you think about it ? Here is the list of universities i plan to apply to (by personal preference order): U of Waterloo U of Toronto U Victoria Ryerson University McGill University École Polytechnique de Montréal UQÀM Calgary University U of Manitoba. Thanks for your help, Jokyjo.
