FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
A world-class education.
What is your admission cutoff?
Admission to the BBA and iBBA programs at Schulich
is based on academic performance and a satisfactory
Supplementary Information Form, which is an important
component of the admissions process. Admission averages
vary slightly from year to year because the actual average
will depend on the number of applications, the calibre
of the applicant pool and the number of spaces available.
The minimum admission requirement for Ontario high
school applicants over the past three years has been in
the low 90s.
Does it matter if I repeat a course?
York University Admissions will take the higher of
the two marks presented if a course has been taken more
than once. An explanation of why you repeated a
course should be included with your Supplementary
Information Form.
Do I need to complete high school
business courses?
Courses in Schulich are taught with the understanding
that students have come with a broad range of high
school coursework, not necessarily business studies.
BBA/iBBA class size ranges from 25-55 students
16
Can I apply to both the BBA and iBBA programs?
We will only accept one application from an applicant.
Admission requirements are the same for both programs.
Applicants should apply to the program that best suits
their interests.
Can I begin my studies in January?
September is the only entry point for BBA and
iBBA students.
Can I study on a part-time basis?
The Schulich BBA and iBBA are Specialized Honours
programs, offered only on a full-time basis.
Does Schulich offer early admissions?
Schulich does not offer early admissions. We also do
not consider Grade 11 marks. The first round of offers
will be sent in March.
Where should I send my transcripts and other
documents for admissions consideration?
The Supplementary Information Form should be sent
directly to the Schulich School of Business. All other
documents, including official transcripts, should be sent
directly to the York University Admissions Office.
Maria Valela (BBA Candidate ‘13), Garcia Bartley (BBA Candidate ‘15),
Matthew Cheuk (iBBA Candidate ‘14)
If I am not admitted to a Schulich
undergraduate program, am I automatically
considered for other programs at York?
There is no guarantee that Schulich applicants will
automatically be considered for other programs at York.
To be considered for another York program, applicants
should indicate a second choice on their Ontario
Universities Application Form.
If I am offered admission into the Schulich BBA
or iBBA, when can I select my courses?
Your offer letter will ask you to do two important things
by a specified deadline date:
• accept the offer through the Ontario Universities
Application Centre (OUAC)
• contact the Schulich School of Business to book
an advising appointment. You will select and enroll
in your courses at your Enrolment appointment.
