<p>There are quite a few Engineering students that take Management Minors (18 credits). That being said you might have to stay an extra semester to finish all your credits, Engineering tends to have an extremely large number of required courses. It’s typical for Engineering students to stay that fifth year if they do want to minor (like some of my coworkers)</p>
<p>Double Majors with Management unfortunately are only for Arts students that do the Joint Honours in Econ and Finance/Accounting. This is the only way to “Major” in Management if you are not a BCom student. </p>
<p>Engineering students at McGill in my opinion excellent job opportunities, i.e all the large Canadian engineering employers hire at McGill ie Imperial Oil, the Big Banks, etc standard TSX 50 Companies. Engineering also has its seperate career centre like Management. </p>
<p>That’s all I really know about Engineering. Good luck at McGill.
Looking forward to any questions about BCom/Desautels/McGill en general.</p>
<p>This is the most recent BCom Career data compiled by the wonderful people at CAPS.</p>
<p>On campus recruiting includes Big 4 Accounting Firms (KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, EY), major employers in Montreal, large financial institutions (Canadian, US, Intl), start-up companies etc. There’s a wide variety of employers that come through Bronfman during the year. For example in addition to CAPS, BMO and Desjardins set up day long recruiting events in the lobby. Then again, these recruiting activities are typical to many peers (Queen’s, Ivey, Schulich…)</p>
<p>is it easy for mcgill undergraduates, say they have good marks and a decent work expereince, to get into master programs in the top notch us universities like the ivy league?</p>
<p>Really can’t say who the “smartest” students are, or who lands the most “banking” jobs.</p>
<p>There are good students in every major, and remember all the courses are curved so the classes are all relatively equally hard to get a good mark. HIM and Joint Honours Programs are really tough and respected but also are all the Majors and Concentrations. Students with bulge bracket internships/jobs aren’t concentrated in one major there are a few from HIM, Joint Honours and Majors in Finance, Concentrations, etc.</p>
<p>As to the second question. MBA admissions is something I really have no idea about it, other than the vague impression that work experience matters quite a bit for selective MBA programs that and the GMAT.</p>
<p>Question about advisors. Suppose you enter U1 directly and wish to take a course which is intensive in a subject which you didnt do quite well at in high school because of personal reasons. Can the advisor stop you from taking that course or will you be allowed to take it if you think you can handle it?</p>
<p>The questions is if you meet the pre-reqs for the partiular course. The advisors really can’t do anything if you choose to take it but I would listen to what they have to say. The BCom advisors as a whole are good if not great at their jobs</p>
<p>I did not take MATH 140/141 or MATH 133. My science friends (and general consensus on campus) is that MATH 141 is more difficult than the other two and will require serious work to get a decent mark (think B-range over A range). That being said these are required courses for most Science students so you’ll be in the same class as 1/4 to 1/5 of the incoming Freshman class in McGill.</p>
<p>I took Math 123, only A in math I’ve gotten since Grade 9. Relatively painless</p>
<p>I’m a U1 entering Desautels, probably looking to major in finance. I’m pretty confused about how to pick my courses though. A friend pointed me towards this link;</p>
<p>If you are entering U1 yes you do have to take all the U1 Core Classes. There are a few exceptions ie if you did not take the equivalent of MATH 122/123 in CEGEP, intend to do a Joint Honours in Econ+Finance, Joint Honours in Econ+Accounting, or minor in Math/Stats. All U1 students take the same core classes.</p>
<p>MATH 122/123 or equivalent has to be completed before entering desautels if you are going straight to U1. From CEGEP, the usual college math sequence (NYA, NYB, NYC which grants you math 140/141/133 or 103, 203, 105 which grants you math 122/123) is a requirement to enter desautels. This means you will not be accepted if you are lacking in any math credits before going into U1. Of course, you have to meet the minimum required averages as well for these respective math courses. For CEGEP, it will probably be close to a 29-30 CRC this year.</p>
<p>Math 140/141/133 is definitely harder than math 122/123 that management students in U0 do. For one, I believe math 122 (combined differential and integral calculus) does not require trigonometry and applications. Please correct me if im wrong, rosexc :)</p>
<p>Thanks, that answers my question pretty well. However, I do feel I’m eligible to drop MATH 122+123 since i’ve done two years of A-Level Math but I guess I’ll talk to an advisor about it once I’m there.</p>
<p>I’m supposed to take one non-management elective as well. Any suggestions, that is any courses that are slightly easier and help your gpa overall?</p>
<p>Honestly it might sound that MATH 122 + MATH 123 are tedious, but they really will help your GPA (the class average for MATH 123 was an A-, which is unheard of a MGCR core class). This classes will balance out the rest of the rigorous core. I believe that French Bac/A-Level students still need to take at least one out of the MATH 122/123 sequence. My MATH 123 class was full of IB/AP/French Bac students in addition to U0 students.</p>
<p>There are a lot of fun, relatively easy classes i.e “Art of Listening”, “Natural Disasters”, etc. A quick google for “McGill bird classes” will bring some results.</p>
<p>Should I get boots? I live in houston right now and I haven’t seen snow in nearly 3 years but I hear walking to class will potentially involve trekking through some snow during winter.</p>
<p>Absolutely boots and a winter coat are necessary. Even Sherbrooke and University are basically a slip-n-slide in the winter. You can buy both boots and a winter coat here in Montreal. Especially with winter coats (I went to high school in Pennsylvania) alot of places don’t sell the type of winter coats needed in Montreal. Although however if you can go to a reputable outdoor store or a place that sells quality brands (i.e Canada Goose) it will be quite a bit cheaper to buy it in the US vs Canada. Like think 30% off a $400-$500 purchase (lower taxes, no Canadian duties)</p>
<p>Which rez did you stay in and how did you find the meal plan? Expensive? Worth it? Oh and thanks for all the help your giving everyone here. I can only imagine the time you take out of your busy schedule to help people here.</p>
<p>currently registering for courses (BCom student entering U0 in fall), kinda lost. I’m trying to register for the 4 requires courses first, which would be (MATH 123 and 122, BUSA 100, and BUSA 250). When registering for BUSA 100, it appeared to only have one course selection…with the professor being Yalovsky and had a ‘C’ below the Select key, stating that section enrollment is currently full. Is there only one intro to management class?</p>
<p>As I’ve said at the beginning of this thread, I lived in Carrefour Sherbrooke. The meal plan is an absolute rip-off literally since moving to my flat I’ve been eating better at 1/3 of the price, unfortunately it is the price to admission to live in McGill residences, which really do foster a sense of community (compared to my Quebecer friends who still live at home and find it kind of hard to meet other students)</p>
<p>As for BUSA 100, I assume there should be at least one session each semester, and I don’t think it matters which order you take BUSA 100 or BUSA 250 (you however must take MATH 122, then MATH 123)</p>
<p>As a final reminder, we’re all getting ready for Frosh so see all of you in August!</p>
However, I do feel I’m eligible to drop MATH 122+123 since i’ve done two years of A-Level Math but I guess I’ll talk to an advisor about it once I’m there.</p>
