Did you take data management in grade 12?

I'm strong in math however I did not take data, and I am wondering how difficult first year stats at Schulich is?

Doesn't sound too bad. Thanks for the help.

I was wondering if your acceptance into Schulich will get taken away if your average drops?
And does that mean that your scholarship will also get taken away?

They take your final average and give you a scholarship based on that. 95+ is $3000, 90-94.9 is $2000, 85-89.9 is $1000 and 80-84.5 is $500 (at least it was last year). Mind you you can't drop below 85 at the end, if you do they take away the acceptance. If you drop from 97 to 90 at the end, you'll get $2000 instead of $3000

Also, the scholarship is only renewable if you get an 8.0 (80/A) average in first year.

Depends on the industry and prestige of the firm you are targeting. What are you looking for?

I honestly love it. :) I have been both commuting and living on campus this year and you can have a good time either way. I love the people at this school, the environment and the opportunities I am getting!

Yes you can take a language course as your elective even in BBA. First year BBA you will have to take:

Managing Contemporary Enterprise - read some stuff about managing people and do 2 huge projects, mostly bird.
Business History - go back to 1800 and learn 3 industrial revolutions of 4 countries from the business perspectives, alot of reading
Statistics - grade 12 data on crack, alot of formulas (given) and quiz every week
Microeconomics - this is a 'York' course, enough said.
Macroeconomics - same as micro but harder
Organizational Behavior - thin book, learn about how people behave (motivation, teamwork, personality) and how it affects their work. A TON of terms and open book exam with 1 case
Ethics - pretty interesting, mostly philosophical theories about how to behave, similar to grade 12 philosophy but more business oriented
Accounting - they start at the beginning but speed through, I didn't take grade 12 and it was hard for me. I had a bad prof as well.

This is only for BBA because iBBA has some differences. These are all 3.0 credits which means one semester, and then you have to choose 6.0 credits of non-business. Language courses are 6.0 credits, so you can do that all year. I chose math 3.0 first semester and then computers 3.0 second semester, it adds up anyways.

hey, i had a first sem avg of 92.3% and i got accepted to schulich and UTM (didnt apply to UTSG :/) now i m just confused abt where to go :( i knw schulich is very competitive and with me just crossing the cut-off, do u think its wise for me to choose Schulich? secondly, what are the drop out rates of schulich? and finally wat do u think abt UTM management? i m also getting a UofT scholar award from my faculty which shows that i would be among the top 20 students in the program there. Please help me... :( Thanks!

First, I had an average around yours so don't underestimate yourself. Trust me if you got in you deserve to be here. The drop out rate is minimal, even then ppl switch for personal reasons, not bcs they are kicked out. To boost your morale the class avrg is a B+ for most classes, econ is an easy peasy york course and your elective should be an easy A as well.

Second, you will soon figure out that you can't be the best at everything. It's true that there are kids with 95+ coming to the BBA/iBBA and they may get better marks than you. That obv happened to me but I remind myself that this program is competitive and just getting in is a life accomplishment lol so its not a crisis to be average in Schulich.

Third, I have a friend at UTM and they are competitive as well, i.e. she failed one of her midterms and she got into schulich too. You may be at the top or now but trust me you can't stay there forever, there are lots of kids who peak in university (become geniuses after high school) and business is about connections as well. Schulich does an incredible job with events and networking it was honestly more than I expected. I believe UTM means you have to 'get in' again in third year or something, im not trying to bash it but that seems unnecessary if you already got into this BBA/iBBA.

Bottom line: you have a 92+% average, you're already awesome. Don't worry about the 'competitiveness' because it's everywhere. I see Schulich as the better choice because its more recognized, more business oriented and tight knit. You're up for the challenge, it's pretty hard to flunk out of this program. I feel like Schulich is the small circle of distinguished students so you're worried about being lost among all the brilliance lol. I had the same concern but honestly, we've worked so hard for marks to get here, at this point, just take it in that you got into this exclusive program, your GPA will survive Schulich.

over Rotman and UTSC co-op management, which would you recommend? Would co-op be a big advantage in the business field right now, or is Rotman just better because of how prestigious it is?
