Ryerson Engineering

Another dilemma. What to do?

Just got offer from Ryerson Engineering.

After some 5 months of consideration, they finally offered me FIRST year. Not advanced standing, they said. It took them 5 months to tell me the admissions officer do not have the expertise to assess my transfer credits and that except for 3, I have to apply for all the courses that I think are equivalent AFTER I accept the offer.

Then what does Advanced Standing mean? So, if I have already have the degree I am applying for then I can take 3rd year? What use is there to be an Advanced Standing option if no one would assess transfer credits?

How am I suppose to decide when I don't know how long it would take for me to finish the degree?

What's worse? If I have ONE single course incomplete in first year, I have to finish it first before I can take any upper year course. Who's the wise guy that made this up?

Could this offer come at a worse time? Well yeah, like August.

Universities... Desperately need an attitude adjustment.
Then again, perhaps I am the one who needs that.
