Applying for a competitive program

The competition is on!

One thing that I had not quite considered while looking into programs was, what if I want to apply for a competitive program? When I hear about people applying for competitive programs I tend to think of the stereotypes: universities only letting in people with a 98% GPA (grade point average) or higher, or you have to have 90’s in every math course you could ever take even if they don’t offer it at your school.

This past August 2018, Professor Steve Balaban and his students in the AFM 334, formerly known as AFM 415, International Study Course learned more about the practicalities of international accounting and finance in Hong Kong. Check out what some of the students had to say about their experience with this course.

As someone who is just going into grade 11 I’ve been told by quite a few people that it’s too soon for me to look into university, but is it? Looking into the university of your interest isn’t something you have to wait until grade 12 to do or until you’re about to apply. Waiting until you’re in grade 12 might be too late.
