SC2Player Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Wah your extracurriculars are way better than mine. Speaking for HK, which is somewhat grade-centric but also does look at extracurriculars, you should be fine for HKU and HKUST for most courses such as engineering and finance. Might be somewhat difficult for courses that have higher cutoffs though such as law or business. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeronicaG Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Speaking for Canada here Queens: very iffy. Queens commerce is arguably the best business program in Canada and all they care about is your essays (grades don't matter after you meet the cutoff). U of T: probably decent, if on the low end. UBC: Your grades will likely be pretty low compared to everyone else but they really love seeing good extra curriculars. Small chance there McGill: again your grades are very low compared to what they want Some other good Canadian business schools: Western Ivey school of business (apply for AEO status) Waterloo Accounting and Financial Management Schulich School of Business (they offer an International Business degree too which is really cool) Laurier Business Administration Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
