Overall band score 8.
What's the next step? I am an Indian and wish to pursue a master's program in the US.
Should I prepare for the GRE and apply for spring semester? Total newbie about all of this university stuff.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I recently got accepted into University and Lethbridge and University of Manitoba for Computer Science second degree.
Both of them have co-op programs, but I don't know which would be better for me. Ideally, I want to go the uni with a better job market for CS, so Lethbridge seems to be the winner since it is close to Calgary. But I am also looking to immigrate to Canada in the future, and I know that Manitoba has easier requirements for Permanent Residence nominations.
I am in a bit of a bind, and I am trying to gather as much information as I can before I make a decision. Anything you have to share would be much appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I know Toronto and Vancouver are much better places for jobs, but sadly I missed the deadline to apply to most of the colleges there. I do plan on applying for jobs in those cities though.

Private dog cloning, what are your thoughts?

I had a discussion today about the ethics of cloning your pets. It's a thing you can currently pay (a lot) of money for, but I don't really see much discussion about it, even though it's absurdly sci-fi and a little crazy to me that it's a real business.
So what are your thoughts? Is it ethical? Is it a bit weird? Is it perfectly healthy?
