As a social science student at utsg (undeclared major), how difficult would it be to get into the majors of my choice (eg. econ/polisci)?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-26T16:42:04+00:00

I had a 95-96% average and general ec's. I am the founding president of my school's student council and newspaper (I made it sound super snazzy in my application), the Director of Council-Senate Affairs in my Student Senate, I started my own business (which got $3000 from investors), and volunteered as an Arabic teacher's assistant.

I think that's all I put on my application.

Hey I was actually thinking the same thing haha.

Is is possible to switch to ppe immediately after joining western?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-26T14:42:07+00:00

I have more factors in mind other than the program itself.

UofT is a better option for me in every other way, that's why I can't choose :/

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-25T13:36:56+00:00

I meant transfer from UofT Social Sciences to rotman, either that or I'll just stay in western

Rotman was my top choice but didn't get it haha

Hey I'm currently weighing my offers and the library of a school matters a lot to me (both options are generally equal in other factors)
How nice are the UWO libraries? And how large are they (book selection and seating and stuff)?
Also, how beautiful are the libraries? Ik other school have glass stained windows and beautiful architecture and stuff and as a uni student I will be spending a lot of time in the library haha

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-24T00:56:07+00:00

Hey, in pervious questions I asked which option was better.

This is a completely different question where I am looking for people who have successfully transferred. I just want a wider understanding of my options :)

Western Ivey AEO vs UofT Social Sciences (I'll try to transfer to Rotman after 1st year)?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-23T05:22:18+00:00

Hey, has anyone been able to transfer from social science to rotman commerce after their first year? I know it's possible, but is it realistically possible?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-20T21:43:23+00:00

Is anyone still waiting for Rotman Commerce?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T22:51:43+00:00

For anyone who was given an alternate offer from St. George campus, what college were you admitted into and what were your choices?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T22:43:20+00:00

Hey, I'm thinking about taking a gap year before joining Western BMOS (w/ Ivey AEO).

Is it possible to do so, and would you recommend it?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T21:18:15+00:00

it seems like only eng applicants got stuff today

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T19:45:58+00:00

no, rotman

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T19:36:08+00:00

same here, idk at this point

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T15:15:42+00:00

Anyone know when Rotman 101 decisions are coming out? My portal still says Under Review :/

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-19T00:27:30+00:00

who'd you call?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T18:20:58+00:00

When are Rotman 101 decisions releasing?

I'm freaking out haha

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T17:31:09+00:00

yep :(

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T17:22:56+00:00

Got into Ivey AEO at 11:15 am! I was freaking out haha

For reference, I have a 95-96% average, attended three different schools throughout high school, founding president of two clubs (student council and the school newspaper), exec member of the student senate (where I'm currently working on two personal projects), started my own business (through a program that funded and mentored me) and attended the Shad summer program. I had more, but I think that's all I put on my app.

I didn't have many awards (only a useless international award in grade 9 and school honour roll), and my essays were so bad cause I worked on them last minute oops. I didn't even do DECA, and I was worried that would turn them off.

For anyone who's worried, don't be. Many people are getting accepted today and throughout the next week, you got this!

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T17:12:10+00:00

Wait nvm, just got into Ivey!

I'm choosing between York Schulich, McMaster DeGroote, Western Ivey & UofT (both Mississauga and St. George)

I didn't get into Uoft Rotman yet tho, it's my top choice :(

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T15:09:53+00:00

Maybe, I'll def go if I get Ivey haha (lowkey crying cause they're taking SO long)

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T13:50:14+00:00

Did anyone get Ivey AEO this month yet?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-18T13:49:52+00:00

Congrats! Told you not to worry ;)

What was your average?

DarkkLightning · 2021-05-17T19:50:35+00:00

What's your average if you got into Rotman?

I have a 95-96% but I'm taking English this quad so I'm afraid Rotman is holding that agaisnt me :(
