Yeah, I expect it to be a bit higher for Sauder too. I heard econ @ UBC is harder to get into vs Sauder though.

To OP, are you still in grade 12?

It typically floats at around 3.2 - 3.4 for Sauder and that's usually the bare minimum.

Work load is like any other University/College.. You have to put in work for any class you take. I'm pretty sure you will be able to achieve a 3.7 GPA by putting in some effort. I'm barely trying right now and my GPA is around there. I think I absorb material better in smaller classes. I don't do much studying outside of class and my grades have been pretty decent lol. 80%-85% is already an A- at Kwantlen. That's a 3.67 GPA. That's the upside of going to Kwantlen or any other college first before going to SFU/UBC. Almost none of the courses are curved so you don't get screwed over by your classmates. For example, if you were to be marked on a curve at SFU/UBC and everyone got 80% in the class, you would most likely end up with a C+/B-.

volunteer and work experiences. Even positions like student councils good i guess. :badpokerface:

not sure whats more important or considered better

Yea, im still in grade 12.

It's only October, study hard now and get in directly.

Im just estimating where my marks will finish. If its not enough, then I have to transfer, so im just figuring out all the details of transferring and going in directly.

Op, if you're still in highschool and you're sure accounting is the route you want to take then good for you, but sometimes by taking other courses may persuade you otherwise. As far as direct entry is concerned, don't focus solely on academics for sure since extra circulars are equally as important, even if not for admission purposes but for employability.

it depends where you transfer from, I transferred into SFU Business from Langara College and my core business GPA was 3.5 at Langara but they deduct .3 from Colleges so my SFU GPA ended up being 3.20 and their acceptance was 3.17 so I barely made the cut. The min SFU GPA seems to fluctuate from 3.07 to 3.2 from what I've seen.

I transferred from science to business with 3.20 GPA and the cutoff was 3.12

How difficult was it to acheive that gpa?

How does the curve thing work?
Posted via RS Mobile

Level of difficulty isn't high, but you need to invest time into it (ie. don't think you can coast through to a B+ or an A). If you put in the proper effort, you should get a high mark.

I mean how complex is the business material? I know its university and its obvioualy gonna be more difficult than highschool, but is the diffculty like a physics course or is it easier to understand? Im asking this question because I need to know how much time ill be putting into the work and if ill need to stop doing some actvities to gain more time if needed (like procastinating lol)

whats your extra curricular like

i

I was also thinking about creating a club but im doubting how much that will help for admission since im already in grade 12 and it wont have been a long term thing.
Posted via RS Mobile

If you create a club, SFU/UBC takes into account that you have spent w/e time for that club especially considering YOU created it. It also reaffirms your leadership capabilities which are vital for business. Don't over stress the extra curics though. Seems like you have more than enough if you get an 84-87 avg for admittance to SFU (UBC, I would guestimate at roughly 87-90)

Ill consider making a club again, and Im gonna make it about internatinal freedom, something Im really passionatr about, so running the club will actually be fun :)

Do they take extra curriculars into account if I transfer from Kwantlen which is my back up plan.

Concepts aren't abstract and very straight forward, but there is a lot of information. Get ready to cram cram cram.

Just graduated from hs this june and here are a few tips on getting into uni
1. Having ECs doesnt mean shit if they dont sound good. I know people who got into sauder barely any ECs cause they can bs well.
2. your average is ur foundation. Take geo 12 online with vln if u want a gpa booster. You can get 95+ putting a little bit of work in. HS is the tail of your grade grubbing career so finish strong in ass kissing to get that extra 1-2%
3. Do your research about the programs e.g typical exit opps for grads. And if you can consider out of province unis esp for business, sauder is great in BC but theres way more options in the east coast

If I cant get into SFU, I stand no chance against the competition for the Ontario universites.

Also, some people have been telling me that if I do the BBA in accounting at SFU, I need to keep my GPA above 3.00 or I will get kicked out, is that true??
Posted via RS Mobile

They used to only have an accounting honours program at SFU where you need to maintain a 3.0 GPA to stay in the program but they recently changed it to a regular accounting program so you do not need to have 3.0 GPA. However if you are pursuing to get into the big4, you better have a high GPA.
