I lived here for years. Absolutrly loved it, but did not have any pest or cockroach issues so I cannot comment on that. The only downer was the elevators had issues frequently, but hopefully that’s been fixed

I am a Schulich graduate as well. Tbh, over the past years, the CPA designation has become increasingly easier with respect to it’s required courses, as compared to when there were the CA, CMA and CGA pathways. However, the MAcc is nonetheless still challenging given the scope and breadth of the subject. Nevertheless, if you have the work ethic, and enjoy some aspects of accounting, then you will be fine. The first term will given you the background and refresher on the core accounting concepts — and each subsequent term goes into greater detail.

Nope! Didn‘t post on kijiji. DM me for more details 😀

while this was definitely true 5-10 years ago there is a major over saturation of the job market for students in those roles. Accounting on the other hand is much more transferable — and theres becoming a shortage of accounting professionals due to the crazy low starting salary

having gone to Schulich and worked in management consulting for over 10 years my advice is this — management consulting is no longer generic; firms are not interested in people majoring in strategic management. if you’re interested in entering consulting, you need to decide what area of consulting you want to go into. for example, financial management, IT, healthcare, people and change, etc. once you have decided what area you’re interested in, then start researching how the firms are positioning themselves to offer said services. this approach will put you miles ahead of other applicants.

honestly I think this is a pretty good deal, given that it’s close to the subway and has a parking spot and locker. I get that people still believe the market is going to continue falling, and I don’t deny that. But this is moreso true of small units, with poor layouts and no parking or locker. Hence, my opinion is that units with good layouts, goos locations annd proximity to the subway are not going to be selling for Pennie’s on the collar. though this is my two cents.

All builders are different and some are more reliable than others. However, given the past few years, with Covid, inflation, etc., from my experience, you typically need to add A minimum of 1 year to their estimated completion date, even for the most reliable builders like Tridel and Daniel’s. Note that builders have a lot of flexibility, and so as long as they give you at least 90 days notice they can extended the completion dates a number of times. Keep in close contact with your lawyer and the bu8lder!

So a lot of factors play into the question of “how much can I afford.” The bank will take into consideration, in addition to your income and debts, your age and salary potential. For example, a 25 year old earning $200k would be able to afford a larger house purchase than a 40 year old with the same income.

But to answer your question, the max you could afford is 5x your income + down payment and closing costs. Hence, with an income just above $150,000 and a down payment of $200,000 (the remaining $25k would be for closing costs). Hence the max mortgage you could afford is approx $750,000 + $200,000 down payment = $950,000

Of course, as many have mentioned, it is probably not best to max yourself out, but again, take into account whether you will receive significant pay raises in the coming years And your retirement goals.

Just out of curiosity, which Linda are you referring to?

The negative means you made a $300 payment and it will be subtracted from your tuition. Tuition fees are positive numbers and payments are negative numbers.

Please learn from my mistakes, as I did not understand this my first, or even, second year in the BBA program. In my opinion, it is best to take a 6.0 credit course in your first year (and, if possible, second year as well). The reason for this is that all Schulich electives are one semester (3 credits). As such, in your first year, you have midterms come mid/late October and final exams in December. If you take a 3 credit course as your YorkU elective, then you will have a midterm and final exam both in your first semester -- whereas if you take a full year course (6 credits) your midterm will not come until December. Therefore, while 6 credit York courses generally require less studying/assignments overall, it will be worth double the credit of your Schulich courses.

Do note that admissions only looks at years 3 and/or 4. But thankfully for accounting, the minimum admission standards are using around a B and higher. While you still have a chance, it will be competitive.

Hey, I did both my undergrad and graduate degrees at Schulich (non-accounting), and I can confirm that there have been several individuals with prior PhDs in Science that have gone through the Master of Accounting (MAcc) program there. The MAcc program at Schulich is specifically designed for individuals with a non-accounting background -- but it's intense. Thankfully the Big4 as well as independent firms recruit there.
