guys i am a 12 grade student and will be graduating from high school next year and i am planning to apply in TAMU.. so i just wanted to know how hard is it to get into this Uni and is it really worth going to a uni here compared to some other uni in canada
don't worry mate, whether you study here, or at the States...the education is the same and I can guarantee that. The texts that you would be following, the required courses that you would be following is ditto what is at TAMU at the College Station. TAMUQ in mi opinion was the best time of my life, and a part of what I am today has been shaped by them.
Yea I agree it might be hard to get into, compared to yester-years, but this place is definitely worth trying to get into. See the plus point: You're studying in TAMUQ, with the same degree and education as the States, you get to stay with your Family, and share your ups and downs with them, whereas you won't get to do that outside, and lastly if you are really eligible, the Qatar Foundation has a generous aid program to help talented individuals gain that level of education and succeed....
sorry for the long post...please enjoy a potato while reading this :P :P :P
Please compare the fee, I think they are charging the same whether you study in Qatar or in Canada or UK. Not sure if you get any preference if you study in Qatar, but if you study in USA or Canada or Australia etc, you will get a chance to work there. Check the rules. you might get good scholarships also.
Sidroney: what bearing does his nationality have on the matter ?
Then go for it ... Good luck

The problem is that i've never travelled outside Asia.. so i dont really know much about these places either and i would also prefer working in Qatar or UAE over any other country...
@sidroney i am a Pakistani.... i got 6 A* 1 A and 1 B in IGCSE and i ll be getting my AS level results in August
Competition for places is strong and you have to get very good grades to get selected.
Having said that - in my humble opinion - I cannot really see the enjoyment of going to university in Qatar where campus sizes are so small . I would rather go to a university in Canada, Usa or UK and experience real student life. But that is only my opinion
let me know your nationality and also inform me current and previous year your result so i can inform accordingly.there people they are willing to join since last two years also.
