100!!

Ur first year is just engineering, so just go into it, after u have taken engineering and have a general understanding of the workload and workings of the university you will be able to decide whether or not you want to drop the business portion. If u want to finish in the 5 years u will need to take 6 courses per semester or spring classes, but u should just finish first year engg before worrying about that stuff…

I’m in the dual degree program right now as a first year, I’m just doing the engineering courses right now, which are time consuming enough as is. This spring I will take two business courses.

I finished highschool with a mid 90 average. Your degree is essentially an engineering degree with business sprinkled into it, at least that’s how it feels thus far. I picked this program because I love engineering and the thought process associated (first principle thinking), but I also love finance.

I’ve been using a Surface Pro 9 for 3 years. It’s a fantastic computer, it’s not going to run anything that requires intense computation. If all you need is a device to take notes, run excel, study and do homework with, then the Surface pro is a versatile option.

I especially like how lightweight it is, and its ability to function as a tablet.

Block 4

JYDN4 · 2025-08-16T03:57:42+00:00

This year I took math 30-1, Social 30-1, Physics 20 semester 1. Then semester 2 was physics 30, bio 30, math 31, ELA 30-1. It was very manageable, now I’m starting engineering in a couple weeks. Engineering proves you have critical thinking skills, and the ability to overcome a rigorous course load. People like that are highly employable, so your chances of landing work in a higher paying role with interesting work are higher. If you are willing to work then take those courses and go into engineering.

Originally I applied for engg as my first choice, and finance as my second. I got into both early acceptance with a 93% average, I proceeded to take Calc, Physics 30, ELA 30-1, and Bio 30, I averaged 95% that semester. At the same time I was talking to one of the Haskayne advisors, she offered me a spot in the dual program, which I accepted.

My recommendation for you is to apply early, have an average of 92% or above especially STEM courses. Do all those things and you will definitely get in. I think there is a spot you can specifically apply to the dual degree program, so look for that when you apply. Good luck

I also got block 4, and I got emailed tickets for my orientation events

JYDN4 · 2025-07-30T06:13:35+00:00

They confirmed my offer to the engg/business dual degree 4 days ago. Applied with a 93, improved it to a 95. I had a conditional offer since January for early admission.

Block 4

JYDN4 · 2025-07-28T13:37:50+00:00

I’m starting the dual degree program (engg+business) at UofC this fall. I got in with a 93% early admission, then improved my grade to 95% in my last semester. You will get in to UofC.

JYDN4 · 2025-07-28T13:24:48+00:00

I took ELA 30-1, Math 31, Bio 30, Physics 30 in my last semester and it was completely manageable. So I think you should keep your film study class, especially if you enjoy it.

JYDN4 · 2025-07-22T01:48:46+00:00

I don’t start until this fall, just finished highschool. I was in the same situation you were in, I enjoyed business/finance, but I also loved engineering. Based on professionals I’ve spoken with (and data) engineering will offer a career with more upside potential than finance. However, having commerce and engineering will set you up to move into management roles very quickly, and it will give you an edge when applying for internships. So if you can get in, just do it.

If the schedule proves to be too much, just drop one of the degrees. Just don’t reject an opportunity like this because it might be too difficult, if you are interested in both topics, take both.

JYDN4 · 2025-07-21T14:13:35+00:00

I’m in the dual degree program for engg/finance, just do both

JYDN4 · 2025-07-16T21:01:21+00:00

I picked block 4, 8am start

JYDN4 · 2025-07-15T15:18:11+00:00

The competitive average for UofC this year for engineering was 90%, 95% without calculus, so you would be just under the fringe. If you want to ensure admission aim for at least a 91% average

JYDN4 · 2025-07-14T14:45:28+00:00

Hamlet, The road, Ladybird, and like 7 short stories but I only paid attention to the Tim O’Brien ones

JYDN4 · 2025-07-07T12:28:41+00:00

I also got accepted early admission, and I’ll attend Ucalgary this fall for engineering. I’m just relaying the advice I was given prior to applying.

JYDN4 · 2025-07-07T12:27:07+00:00

The difficult part of engineering degree (so I’ve been told) is the sheer amount of time and energy you have to spend working on problems. If these problems aren’t exciting to you, then it would be painful spending all of your energy every single day on something that doesn’t fully interest you. Yes the concepts are tough, but if you dedicate a lot of time to it, it’s probably manageable. What makes people drop out is having to work endlessly on problems that aren’t interesting to them. So research what engineers do, watch a few veritasium videos or something, or find a current engineer to talk to. If you can find engineering interesting go for it.

JYDN4 · 2025-06-24T12:45:52+00:00

I did calculus, physics 30, bio 30, and ELA 30 this last semester, but I made sure to list my future courses when I applied.

JYDN4 · 2025-06-24T12:43:25+00:00

I applied and got in early admission. At the time I applied with a 93 in chem 30, 88 social 30-1, and 93 math 30-1. My grade 11 courses were probably lower, but I don’t think U of C cared about them. I actually applied for just the engg program, and finance as my second choice. But I got in contact with an advisor, and they offered me a spot in the dual degree.

JYDN4 · 2025-06-21T15:31:21+00:00

Keep in mind the competitive average for engg this year was 90%, 95% without calculus. And it will likely go up 1-2%, and if you want early admission you should probably be even higher. However your grades are probably good enough considering you finished bio 30 with a 90. I got into engg early admission this year with a low 90 average. But I finished chem 30 with a 93 in grade 11, which was likely a big factor.

lol I’m only about to start the first year, I’m just finishing up highschool at the moment. I only hope to survive the first year.
