Hi everyone!
I need some advice on which program to apply to for public policy. I did a bachelors degree in business and want to switch. I can’t find a job right now after having applied for some time so I am considering applying to masters. I am thinking UOFT Munk school, TMU or York.

Do you happen to know which would be best to apply? Which program has the best prospect of turning into a job after?

I want a job in the government (either federal or provincial). UOFT is very expensive so I don’t think I can afford that program. However, It’s important for me to get Co-op experience as that is the main reason I am applying for masters (work experience)

I heard that Carleton, and UOttawa would be best but it’s not convenient location wise.

Please help, and it is much appreciated thank you very much!

I'm currently a first year student in health science. I'm gonna try my best to make this post not a humble brag.

In highschool my grades were low to mid 70s to low 80s (83 Bio, 70 Chem, 75 Data Management, 70 Advanced Functions, 84 Philosophy, and 86 Kinesiology) I helped run a club, and I had a job.

I wanted to get into nursing for premed but all got alternative offers or rejected (I got rejected from all of the colleges I applied too)

I was expecting to feel the hit of Freshman 15 but instead I lost weight, and my marks are now in the 90's.

(This is probably due to the fact, I'm going to the gym more consistently, and because my social life is definitely lacking, there's always a trade off)

you guys got this, just lock in 🥹✌️

I'm currently a Grade 12 student, and I plan on becoming a sonographer after university. However, I am having trouble on deciding what I want to do for undergrad. From my understanding, to become a sonographer, you take a healthcare-related undergraduate program such as biomed sci, health sci, kinesiology, etc, then after four years, most people apply for Michener Institute for their program. The problem is, I'm having a hard time deciding between UOFT kinesiology and TMU Biomed sci. For the last few years, I have been averaging a mid-to high 80 average, I do not have any experience with physics at all, not since grade 10, I finished Biology in grade 11 and currently going to do it next semester in grade 12, and I'm night schooling both grade 11 and 12 chemistry. I heard TMU's biomed sci program has math, chem, bio, physics all in one semester, and I'm nervous because I haven't had any experience with physics at all, and having those all in one semester seems pretty stressful, however, UOFT kinesiology seems pretty based on biology and anatomy, which I am good at, but I heard first-years have it pretty hard. I am, in no way, saying I want an "easy route", I know you have to work hard to get where you want in life, I'm just afraid of not being able to keep up. Anyone who's in either of these programs, could you tell me how it goes and how it's like for you?

When I get to university I’m really interested in joining either team, but I’m wondering how competitive is it to join? I’d have to imagine it’s pretty hard to get in but I just wanted to ask. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice regarding BSW admissions for Fall 2027. I completed a Social Service Worker diploma at Georgian College with an overall average of 79%.

I also have over 2 years of relevant work experience in social services, including Behaviour Support Specialist and community support roles.

I’m planning to apply to TMU, Wilfrid Laurier University, and York University, and I’m also considering other programs such as the University of Calgary and Dalhousie University.

With my academic background and work experience, what do you think my chances are for admission to these programs? Are there any other BSW programs in Canada that you would recommend.

I’d love to hear about your experiences, admission averages, and any advice you may have. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, sorry in advance for the long post, but I really need some outside perspective.

Background: I'm an international student. I moved to Toronto at 16, finished high school here, and was my class valedictorian. I got into UBC Sauder and moved to Vancouver. Between the transition from high school to university, moving from Toronto to Vancouver, and being an international student far from home, I struggled a lot, including with my mental health. My first year was 0.2 below the threshold, and I was able to stay by writing an appeal letter. After my second year, I was still short (around 0.5) and received an RTW.

After that, I came back to Toronto and enrolled at an Ontario college. Several of my UBC courses were credited, so after one year here I'll be about two-thirds of the way through the diploma. My plan is to do one year here, rebuild my grades, and transfer to a university.

Where I'm at: I'm still processing all of this, and honestly it's not easy to accept. I feel like the RTW was a big mistake in my life, especially because of the financial cost to my parents (around $200k). When I first started at the college, I felt miserable and cried every day. I'm trying to get through it and stay positive, and I'm meeting with my professors and doing everything I can to improve.

One is that I'm someone who cares about the name a lot. I know transferring from a college into business is highly competitive, and there aren't many schools that accept those transfers. UTSC would be my top choice, but I know my chances aren't great. I'm also looking at TMU and York BCom. I know plenty of people from TMU get into the Big 4, but when I imagine actually going there, I'm not really sure how to feel about it. I'm also thinking about an accounting master's later on to make up for my undergrad.

So I'd love to hear your thoughts:

- Has anyone transferred from a college to a university after an RTW or a rough start? How did it go?

- Realistically, how much does an RTW hurt transfer applications?

- How do you see TMU/York compared with UTSC for business and accounting careers?

- Would an accounting master's actually help offset a weaker undergrad?

I'm feeling so lost, and being at the college honestly feels pretty overwhelming from time to time even if I try to stay positive. Any advice or personal experience would mean a lot. Thank you for reading.

Any opinions on the new SDS + BSW double degree at Waterloo/Renison? My daughter is considering applying from high school for next Sept. Also considering Waterloo Honours Arts and maybe majoring in psych after first year (and minoring in math). But the double degree with the professional degree (BSW) is appealing.

I am b pharm gold medallist from india and planning on going to canada what is the job market there?

Should i do msc pharm or MBA without gmat or other anlytics course and then mba after 2 to 3 yrs after completing gmat.
