gomeperez Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi all, I'm interested on pursuing a masters degree at a Canadian University, but have no previous research experience and I'm wondering if that could affect my chances of getting admitted. I already have my topics of interest defined. I haven't done my GRE and TOEFL tests yet, but I'm hoping to do well on both of them, I also have a good GPA. My biggest aspiration would be the University of Waterloo, but I would try to go for some lower ranked universities like the University of Alberta. Do universities accept (prospective Masters) students without previous research experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponylevel Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Work experience, location of undergrad school, exact GPA? Don't expect a precise answer with imprecise questions. The answer is yes, they do, but it depends on your individual stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3doucet Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 School ranking really depends on your interests. Waterloo is great and all, but in game AI research, for example, Alberta is one of the best in the world and Waterloo barely studies it. At the graduate level, who you work with aught to be a bigger concern than where you will work. Unless you're doing a course based masters... Also, most Canadian schools don't use GRE. It might help, but it's certainly not required. Anyway, you really need to provide more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
