<p>Hello everyone
I passed out from high school in 2005(may) with 84% overall(CBSE) and I want to go to Canada for BBA but I can be admitted to Arts only as I am a biology student and had maths only till 10th(got 95% in 10th) so I'm hoping to transfer to BBA in the 2nd year after clearing the math exam in the BA course.As if catching up with 1 year of BBA study was not hard enough,I'm sensing trouble from other places as well.
I had chalked out an entire plan of going to a university in Nova Scotia in the winter session as they always have new admits then, and transfer to Queen's /McMaster in the 2nd year but I just found out that I can't be admitted to any university in Nova Scotia as according to the state rules,I am still a minor(major age differs in each state in Canada) and must have a local guardian there which I don't,and the CEC,which is the official Canadian Education Centre in India,and was working on my application,had no clue
about this rule??!some help they've been:(
I'm all done with toefl and the financial arrangements but this is such a setback for me.
I recently spoke with the student advisors of the states where I am applicable as a major but they all claimed to have no seats left for the jan session,and now I'm running out on time,and options.
Would you advise me to drop a year and go as per my plan for the fall session 2006?Do I have more options?(I'm not interested in going to US) If so,will the universities demand a good reason for the 1-year gap?</p>

<p>Thanks so much

<p>u do have a good reason if the colleges ask for it.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying...
I thought I did,but I actually don't.They might just think that that sitting at home for a year isn't good news at all.If a do a short summer course,would that help me with the admit?</p>

<p>We're not talking about Harvard here. The Canadian schools are huge government run schools that just follow the rule book. If you got in once, you'll get in again if they just don't let you defer.</p>

<p>precisely, and u could also study in college for a yr in ur home country and then transfer credit. Thats what I am doing. At least it saves money.</p>

<p>I guess you guys are right,but it's too late to apply to a univ. in my town as they already started their sessions a long time ago.
thanks for the replies.</p>
