STEP 4

Now that you have received information from the universities, browse through their literature. Pay close attention to Programs offered, Admission Requirements & Prerequisites, and Residence. 

As you will quickly realize, not all universities have the same standards or expectations from its propective students. 

Admission Requirements

This is the most important thing you have to worry about as a prospective student. Each university sets their own criteria for grades required to be admitted into their program. Competitive programs will undoubtably have higher average requirements so it is best to check if you are in the 'zone.' 

Not all programs have the same prerequisites. This means that in order to be accepted into a particular program you must have succesfully completed a specific set of high school courses. 

In some engineering programs, for example, a prospective student must have passed their final year courses in Physics, Calculus, Algebra & Geometry, Chemistry, and English. To make it even tougher, these courses are used in most cases, as 5 of the 6 courses required to determine your average.
