How to Get Into Top Ontario Business Programs: Free Workshop for Grades 11-12
In this free workshop, we will walk your family through Ontario's most competitive business programs side by side: Ivey AEO, Queen's Commerce, Rotman Commerce, Schulich, Laurier and Waterloo AFM. How each one decides, which Grade 12 math each requires, and why the first deadlines arrive in November, not January.

We will start with the fact that makes this list hard to plan for: these six programs do not admit students the same way. Waterloo Accounting and Financial Management decides on grades alone this cycle. Schulich weighs grades and its supplementary application equally, and says plainly that strong grades will not make up for a weak supplementary. Ivey weighs academics and leadership equally. Queen's Commerce requires a timed written and video supplementary application, Rotman Commerce requires its own written and video supplementary, and Laurier's BBA asks for no supplementary at all, only an optional background summary. We will then cover course requirements, because they quietly narrow the list. Queen's Commerce, Rotman Commerce and Waterloo AFM all require Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors, and Queen's sets an 80% minimum in each prerequisite, while Schulich and Laurier accept Data Management in its place. For Grade 11 families choosing next year's courses, that single decision keeps three of these programs open or closes them. Next is the calendar. Schulich's early consideration round asks for the OUAC application by November 6 and the supplementary by November 23. Rotman's early round asks for the OUAC application by November 7 and the supplementary by December 1. Queen's Major Admission Award is due December 8. Most families are planning around January. We will also explain what happens after the offer, because two of these programs keep deciding: Ivey AEO students spend their first two years in another Western program and need an 80% average to move into the HBA, and at Rotman, entry to the second-year program depends on meeting set first-year course marks. We will close with how to build a balanced list across the six, and a separate plan for Grade 12 families applying now and Grade 11 families still choosing courses.
Parents and students in Grades 11-12 are both welcome. The session is live on Zoom, and we email the link and a short summary after you register.
