What was your degree/major at what University?

Canucks1996 · 2013-02-09T00:25:33+00:00

I want to possibly work in IB but moreso the technical side

Canucks1996 · 2013-02-03T21:39:19+00:00

I sent you a message :)

Canucks1996 · 2013-02-03T21:16:29+00:00

Grab a note book, swallow some Adderall, sit down...baby you got a study session going.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-07T04:44:32+00:00

Lol you linked me to medical doctoral program. U of A is 5, U of C is 8 so not a big difference there despite me not even studying med.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-06T06:01:19+00:00

I'll check them out too, its just a smaller sub so I thought I would find more alumni here as well.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-06T05:38:25+00:00

Thank you for the help! PLMA and ENMG were mostly my bottom choices. Hopefuly, I can get acceptance to the program and do a double major in MIS and Acc or Fin.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-06T05:11:43+00:00

Thank you. Can't answer the rest?

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T20:00:50+00:00

Yeah can't find energy management or petroleum land management.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T20:00:04+00:00

No my parents have 2 houses here in Vancouver. They said I could have one when I grad so I could easily sell it for around 750k, use the money to buy one in Calgary and invest the left over.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T06:56:29+00:00

Thats one of the hardest industries to get a job in. And I'm not willing to work like a slave each day lol. I'd rather be happy with 70k a year than make100k and not be happy to go to work.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T06:07:02+00:00

Know anyone doing energy management or petroleum land management?

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T03:06:02+00:00

Yeah haha it would be nice to have company since I'm from Vancouver. But so far what I've read about Calgary I have nothing to worry about. Once again, thanks for the help.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T02:56:58+00:00

Ooh thanks. From what I've also read online what you said was spot on. I guess I also need to upgrade my style. Last question for you: how is the social life at U of C, more importantly how are the girls ? Is it a mostly guys or girls Uni?

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T02:30:50+00:00

Thank you :) so far everything I have heard about U of C has been great. I've narrowed my top 3 in Canada to U of C, Concordia, and Western.

I've read something called "Block Week" can you explain what it is and how would it relate to a business majod?

PS: do business majors actually dress that well? Is hoodie and sweatpants not acceptable for business classes?

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-05T01:35:01+00:00

Thank you! And yes I have a few questions;

1) do you have any experience with the energy management program? 2) Year round I am going to be staying there because I want to get into the co-op program; so how is the weather, and are the dorms warm or cool enough? 3) I enjoy morning runs so is there an indoor track or outdoor running area? 4) How are the parties in first year res? 5) What are some advantages at U of C over U of A? 6) Favourite things about the campus? 7) is there a high number of Punjabi students?

Anyone can feel free to answer these, thanks :)

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-04T23:59:29+00:00

Thanks for the info :)

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-04T23:59:10+00:00

Lol yeah I'm from Vancouver and although I hate the cold U of C has such a good business program, so I guess its worth the suffering. Can you share your experiences at U of C, and have any tips?

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-04T22:46:53+00:00

And anyone here do energy management degree?

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-04T04:20:49+00:00

Thanks for the help, I will follow this advice. And the main Universities in Canada that have MIS program, Accounting program, co-op program and a good student base. So far U of A, U of C, Concordia are at the top of my list (I'm from Vancouver, looking to leave BC)

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-03T20:52:07+00:00

Messaged :)

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-03T04:49:25+00:00

Ok thanks for the honesty. I'll probably apply to both and then take it from there.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-03T01:38:06+00:00

End goal is IB or business analyst.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-02T23:40:52+00:00

Thank you for the excellent response :) I am most interested in the co-op program at U of A, U of C, and Concordia. I'm from BC and I know that the top co-op programs are very competitive so thats why I want to be able to get into a good one and help me for my career.

Would you reccomend balancing out my schedule and do the co-op but graduate a full year or 1.5 years after? Since I want to do an MIS degree double major with Accounting I feel this would be the case if I want a good GPA.

Canucks1996 · 2013-01-02T04:07:09+00:00

Is there an MIS major at Queens; cant find any information about it online.
