If everything is moving to the new one, what will happen to the old building? All of Ivey will be in the new building. The MBA, MSc and PhD programs are currently in the new building. The old building will undergo a facelift of its own so that it can fill the needs of other programs.

We check all three references for every applicant which takes some time. Do not worry if your references have not yet been contacted.

Augustus1 wrote:My question is the opposite of OliveSun's - if one of our references has been contacted already, is that a good sign? Does the timing of contacting a person's references generally correlate with the timing of their offer? There is no correlation between when references are contacted and when offers are made.

thegoal08 wrote:Hi there,
I was just wondering how competitive a 90% average really is? I understand it varies every year from the strength of the applicants but what are the acceptance chances with this average?
Also, how many reference are supposed to be contacted?
Thanks in advance As you said, it depends on the strength of the applicant pool; but, generally a 90% average with strong extra-curricular activities in which you demonstrate teamwork, initiative, achievement and commitment is a competitive application. We make an effort to contact all three references.

On the transcript for Ivey Admission, does the courses in the top 6 that you took online show up? Or do they only see your marks?
If they do show up, does Ivey care that some courses are done online as opposed to day school? Will I get penalized in any way?

Hey, I just had a quick question.
So as you probably know, DECA Provincials took place several days ago. I was awarded a medal for every component in my event and I placed 2nd overall. I have once again qualified for ICDC and will be competing in Salt Lake City in May. I just wanted to know if there was any way this accomplishment could be added to the awards/activities sections of my AEO application.
Thanks in advance.

If they do show up, does Ivey care that some courses are done online as opposed to day school? Will I get penalized in any way? As long as the courses were taken at an accredited institution, be it online or during the day, we look at the credits in the same way.

Thanks in advance. Unfortunately, we can only consider activities that occured before the application deadline. On a side note, congratulations! That is a wonderful accomplishment.
