I think it will be like recommendations or like "keep it up"? Also I heard we get them in early July

Hi Kate,

Will there be HBA acceptances today/this week?

Business 1220E is the first year business course that Ivey strongly encourages students to take (although it is not required). Check out the course website for more information: http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/a...e-business/Bus1220.htm.

1) For consideration to the HBA program in 3rd year assuming my extracurricular activities are identical, does Ivey value an 80% from Schulich more than they value an 80% from Western?

A competitive average is 80% regardless of the University.

2) If I go to Schulich for my first and second years of university am I completely eliminating every dual degree option that Ivey+Western offers? Even the HBA / JD Law one?

Transfer students can be eligible to apply for the HBA/JD dual degree only.

3) I realize that I wasn't granted AEO status because my extracurricular activities were lacklustre, as I had a 95.33% average. Is there any way you can send me the HBA application so I can better prepare myself this time around?

The HBA application will be available online later this fall. We always provide examples in the ‘help’ section of each application.

4) If I went to Western, is program / course difficulty factored into the application process?

A competitive average is 80% regardless of the program/faculty (with the exception of Engineering, where a competitive average would be 78%).

With Ivey, the focus is more on soft skills than hard skills. Would it give you some limitation later on as you don't have a specific professional skills? What do you do with an ivey degree, especially if you lack work experience (compared to others like waterloo afmpa) and dont have a designation?

Ivey's HBA Program will greatly develop your softer skills, but that is not to the detriment of hard skills. You will graduate Ivey with advanced business acumen.

There are many special program features in the HBA Program, the ability to pursue professional designations. You will have access to all the required courses to pursue the Chartered Accountant and Certified Management Accountant designations. We are also a CFA Program partner school which means that we offer courses that cover the content of the Chartered Financial Analyst exams. Check out the Ivey’s website for more information: http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/h...ram-features/index.htm.

Ivey’s students do not take time out of the school year to work in industry, but last year, 96% of students had a summer internship or were working in a relevant field over the summer. 93% of last year’s class had a full time job offer within 3 months of graduating, with an average starting salary of about $64,000/year. For more information on where Ivey grads start their careers, check out our placement reports: http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/d...-Employment-Report.pdf.

hey kate,

what if you applied but didn't get aeo status in high school, and you apply after second year, would they go back to look at the previous application?. Would the previous application affect anything at all? or will everyone who applied be treated equally and have only their second year application evaluated

Hi,

Do median grades need to appear on the final transcript before the transcript is forwarded to the admissions office (from another university)? Also, will offers to transfer students be going out the same time as AEO2s or are most offers for transfer students already gone out. Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that I am passing StudentAwards.com on to my very capable colleague Alan Neal. Alan is Ivey’s newest Recruiting Associate. He is an HBA 2012 grad who completed a dual degree with Ivey and the Faculty of Science.

Best of luck to all of you!

Cheers,
Kate

In terms of HBA acceptances being sent to AEO2's in "early June" could this mean tomorrow potentially?

Thanks!
