One of my friends went to conestoga, said he really enjoyed it.

they want me to do a math test but i aint up for it ...just like the other dude im on a waiting list for confed...so lets c but good luck with conestoga.

Yeah I also got accepted but am going to confed instead.

Im am also on the waiting list for confederation, but i was told its in the middle of nowhere, so i was a little bit iffy on that, especially because my family lives in T.O its kinda far for them. Conestoga is only an hour away. GL to people going to confederation though I hope you get in. I was told some years they go right threw the waiting list so chances are particularly high for people on waiting list.

I got accepted but I am hoping to get a spot at confed. On the wait list right now.

yea when i called they said a good chunk of the list gets let in

In my opinion Cofederation is somewhat exactly the same as Conestoga. Except the Location of course, If Confederation does have this many applicants on the waiting list their may be a good chance most of us wont get in, how many applicants do they take 40? i doubt most of them will in fact make another career decision before may 1st.

i think its 60 or 65 students. only difference is confederation has the better reputation and you save like 40 thousand by going there because of the government funds that are available to the program.

I'de say people on the wait list still have a pretty good shot. Even though the information given by the admissions office at confed has been proven to be quite unreliable... they told me that last year they got all they way down to kids with averages in the low 60's from the waitlist. good luck to all.

ps. they take 65 students into first year.

Heading off to College to be a pilot and has no idea where Thunder Bay is located, a city of 120,000 people. What did you do sleep thru Geography class? Well just so you know it is located right on the Trans Canada highway on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior. Best you stick to southern Ontario!

Obviously I Know Where Thunder Bay is you dunce, but have I ever been strolling threw the thick woods of nothing? No, and yea I did sleep threw my geography class, those were good times, and when the exams came I got the highest mark, how ironic! So instead of replying to this post I sugest you go to another topic, and yes you can critcize it all you want! oh a little pat on the back

Judging by your last post, I suspect you slept thru English class as well. Like I said, best you stick to southern Ontario!

Look on the bright side CLguy, at least you don't have Justin in the right seat.

I must concur with CLguy on this. With your attitude and ignorance you won't survive at Confed.

No offence intended.

Oh man, now I can start to see why Toronto pilots...or in this case, someone from Toronto...get ripped on so bad...

"Dunce" and "threw," Haha! And don't forget the people of Thunder Bay dwell on thick treetops in the Forest of Nothing.

We're not all this terrible, I swear!!!

*runs back to BC*

Oh, and in terms of Conestoga, it seems pretty good. Apart from the winnebago paint jobs , the fleet looks to be in great condition, and Waterloo's a great airport. Plus you don't have to go too far away to find a whole bunch of nice uncontrolled airports, something that's a little more scarce on the east side of YYZ.

Greatest description ever

Winnebago paint jobs? I've never heard them called that before..... The old brown and orange on beige scheme could have used shag carpet and disco balls to finish the retro look!

One step ahead of you there, with one a/c.

The old brown and orange on beige scheme

If I recall correctly, overhearing a student, at the dispatch desk, saying to another student.
"If it's brown, put the keys down!"

I guess for some $40 grand is a small difference. My class started with 69, finished with 36

ive been accepted not sure if im going or not thoough
60 grand is hard to come by
