To OP, are you still in grade 12?

Posted via RS Mobile | It typically floats at around 3.2 - 3.4 for Sauder and that's usually the bare minimum.

Posted via RS Mobile | 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-.

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.

Posted via RS Mobile | 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.

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 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.

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)

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

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.
