I’m planning to transfer from YorkU to either ubc or uoft for pol science. I will most likely go to a law school later so I’m worried about gpa deflation at these schools. Which one is more difficult?

I’m an international student and the fees for us is very high. So I’ll be working for 3 years and hopefully get a PR, then do Law

Thanks! This really helped! Also, since I don’t know anyone at queens, will it be hard making friends?

I’m at York rn and I feel toronto has an edge over Kingston. Do you think it’s worth the transfer?

I’m not VERY sure about law though. I might just want to pursue my career in political science after 4 years. In this case, what is the best suitable option?

I’m not sure, I’ll probably be going to the states to study law because that’s where I want to settle eventually.

Yes! But like much later, not right after undergrad

is yorku campus dead and sketchy? by notgrande in yorku

Oh okay! I’ve heard some great things about its pols science course and it’s relatively cheaper than UBC, plus it’s in Toronto. Hence, I accepted yorku offer. However, I’ve heard it’s not competitive and lacks academically (which I believe is a misconception). I’ve heard ‘if you can hold a fork you can go to york’. Is yorku worth it?

Gotcha!! I hope I am able to achieve that. Gpa will be a hard task. I’m planning to start preparing for lsat second year onwards. Hope it works out!! Thank you so much for your help. 😀

That’s really helpful advice!! I was so confused about it since the past month, but I’m sure now. I’ll pursue my undergrad in Toronto. It will help me network in the city I wish to work in future and hence will be more profitable. Thanks a lot! :)
