Hey guys, I'm stuck deciding between a couple options and your input would be grealty appreciated.

I'm taking an undergrad program right now, and I'm thinking of applying to ivey after this coming year for the HBA program. The thing is, I'm taking a minor degree also, and I can complete this minor degree in 1 year at any point in the program (and the courses for the minor are easier = higher gpa). So, do I take this minor now (in my 3rd year) and then go for Ivey, or do I take it in my 5th year, with improved chances of getting in a good MBA program?

I've heard MBA programs (and most other grad programs...correct me if I'm wrong), consider the final 2 years of grades from your undergrad. so if I take the minor now in 3rd year, it will not count for mba applications.

also to consider is that I can probably get a 90 with the minor courses, but 75 otherwise, so its quite a big leap..

so what would you do? go for ivey now (and risk not getting in) or get a much better average (could be a 10% difference) for mba applications?

thanks

What program are you currently in? So you would have to take the accounting courses for Ivey, am i correct? If you were in BMOS (assuming u go to uwo), all the prereqs wood be there, so it woodnt matter.

no, I'm doing engineering at queen's...and I can fit the equivalent accounting courses in with my minor, so thats not an issue...the question is just whether I should do the minor now and go for ivey or take the minor in my 5th year and have a better average for MBA applications? btw, if I take the minor in my 5th year, I don't have a shot at ivey now
