<p>I got accepted to the the Environmental and business co-op program and the Arts and business program. What are the pros and cons of each? I also got into Queen’s…I know that Co-op is a big advantage for getting a job but I think I like Queen’s better. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>“Don’t go to Scarborough. Unless you want to get shot.”</p>
<p>While that is the common misconception about Scarborough, this is not true for ALL of Scarborough. I lived there for a decade and it’s not as “ghetto” of a place as others have described it. There are areas you want to avoid but don’t all cities have that? Even Waterloo has Kitchener as its neighbour (it’s not a bad place but there are some areas in Kitchener I wouldn’t want to frequent). </p>
<p>In terms of UTSC itself, I have some friends that have gone there. They liked the program but the campus pales in comparison to UTSG or even Waterloo. Granted, I actually find Waterloo’s buildings kind of drab so some of the buildings at UTSC looked kind of refreshing. Still, it’s a small campus.</p>
<p>hey (:
so for afm it isn’t highly competitive they take about 300 students
marks should be of the mid to high 80s but if you really wanna get in a ninety is safe
they like it if you participate in their math contest euclid
it breaks down into 2 streams of financial management and public accounting
i would say if you are planning to focus on accounting for sure waterloo is the best because it fast tracks you and focuses on accounting a lot more than queens and western
for queens, if you were to go into accounting their is actually a 5 week boot camp at the end of 4th year where you have to crunch in a bunch of courses to be able to graduate
and for waterloo if you want to take your CA designation test in canada you can skip the first 2 exams and only take the third. (:
UWO is very renowned but the thing is people think they’re in the ivey program after admissions but actually there is an application process in end of 2nd year for the actualy ivey program, western takes about 2/3 of their own 2nd years and also 1/3 from other schools. but they recruit a lot from big banks but waterloo recruits from the big 4 (kpmg, pwc, ernest and young, deloitte)
hoped this helps (:</p>
