I applied for the mechanical engineering diploma program in February and today they told me I’m top 85 on the waitlist. How does this make sense I know people who applied after me and go in without wait list? It’s a first come first serve program so what’s going on. For anyone who took the program should I start looking for jobs or is there still a chance I get in?
for those who have done or are doing mech Eng, what laptop should I get. do you need a GPU and just how much cad, solid works and Matlab will be used. budget isn’t an issue I just want what would be the best for the program.
