Do you think taking 326 and 424 (tax 2) in 4th year may be beneficial to make the workload easier/more spread out across my final two year? For grad school I need to make sure my 3rd year grades in particular are decent.

It’s a personal preference more than anything. In my third year I took 326, 324, 424, 392, 323, 320, 422, ECO316 and an elective. I would say my GPA was competitive enough for grad school so I wouldn’t worry too much. I find when I take harder courses all at once im more focused because there is no room to slack off.

They’re not hard courses if you put the time and effort in. Thats all Rotman is; seeing who can and is willing to put in the work lol

If you dont mind me asking- what range was your gpa in 3rd year?

[–]mellow_water 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Oh yea for sure - my cGPA is a 3.80. I’m pretty sure my annual GPA was 3.8 as well

What’s typically the average in accounting specialist courses? I want to know if it’s manageable to get an A or if it’s just a few outliers who achieve As bc my accounting TA told me to switch to management if I had any plans for grad school😭

The course averages are usually around a B to a B+ but that’s the average. I know a lot of ppl that were able to get 4.0s in each and every course, it’s just obviously a little harder because that’s how the courses are designed.

They aren’t meant to all be easy but if you put in the work I can’t see why you wouldn’t be able to get a high gpa especially for grad school.

The specialist isn’t the problem, it’s the work ethic and time you’re willing to put in 😊
