SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY
McMaster University is located in Hamilton, and comprises 57 buildings, 122 programs, and over 21 500 students [1]. It was first established in the year 1887 and is split into six different academic facilities: Degroote School of Business, Engineering, Health Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Science [2] . They’re known as the McMaster Marauders with their mascot named “Mac the Marauder.” The institution is home to over 300 student organizations and clubs, however, they do not recognize any fraternities or sororities [2]. Their main academic policy is known as the “McMaster Model,” which focuses on a student-centred, problem-based, interdisciplinary approach to learning which has been used since the 1960s [2]. Only 3700 students live in twelve on-campus residences with a range of building sizes and dormitory styles [1]. Finally, McMaster University is a member of a group of research intensive Canadian universities known as the U15 [2].

Where our students are now
Grades are crucial, but it’s the strength of your supplemental application that determines your future. Most applicants, believe it or not, have startlingly identical profiles: excellent athletes, DECA finalists, class presidents, club founders, and so on. As such, the majority of students fail to submit a compelling supplemental application. We assist students in developing their 'wow factor,' an extracurricular activity that truly stands out to craft a compelling and authentic application. Allow Project Uni's reputable counsellors to guide you in showcasing your BEST self with the support and feedback you need.
Spend less time worrying and second-guessing your decisions.
