I know that it depends on the individual and whether one is willing to work hard but in YOUR opinion, which do you think is harder to achieve a high GPA?

I am sure it's Rotman. I work less than 1 hour per week per course in Schulich and still make it on the Dean's Honour List.
PM if you have any questions with regards to school, university, jobs, etc. I am glad to help out and share what I know.

However, be prepared for the language study in iBBA. For some people that's harder than building advance financial models and doing tax cases.

How difficult were first year math courses at Schulich?
I haven't done math in a year because I finished my IB SL Math course in Grade 11 (School policy).

Since Schulich seems to graduate a lot of accountants, does this mean that I might have a hard time with math?

PS: I'm looking to enter the Marketing stream, so I wont be taking any of the upper-year financial courses.

Thank you!

First year you only have to take 1 math course, stats. My friends did the same IB program (didn't have math for 1 year) and for him stats was the most challenging course. He got B, but almost never studied except for the day before the midterm. In general, for marketing you don't need high mark, so don't worry too much about them.

My advice is too keep your options open, however. If you choose to switch to accounting or finance later, you need to maintain higher GPA.

Oh god stats.

Okay! I saw your post on the Schulich social life thread, love the memes haha.
Just a quick question: Would you recommend Schulich over programs like Queens Commerce or Rotman? People have told me schools like Queens do a better job for fields like marketing or management, do you think this holds true?

This is something you have to decide for yourself. Queen's might be better for some people while Schulich might be better for others (both are better than Rotman almost for all, however). Marketing program is definitely better at Schulich. Management is great at both schools.
