So if thats the case then i guess i dont stand much chances. whats the percentage for B ? Simon Fraser has the big data program which says average should be B. And they also look for work experience for that course. What do you think about my chances for that ?
Maybe you're right, but SFU says B average only on entire undergrad courses (not just last 60 credits). Also, it will depend on the specific program you enter as they will have higher requirements then a B. See below:
The minimum University requirements for admission to a master’s program are as follows.
a) a bachelor's degree from Simon Fraser University or its equivalent from a recognized institution;
b) a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0/4.33 (B), or a grade point average of at least 3.33/4.33 (B+) based on the last 60 credits of undergraduate courses. All graduate work is also considered. Individual graduate programs may set a higher admission grade point average;
c) submitted evidence, usually references from qualified referees, of the student’s ability to undertake advanced work in the area of interest. In addition, some programs also require completion of entrance examinations such as the GMAT and GRE, and/or the submission of other material.
In exceptional circumstances, a student may be admitted with lower formal qualifications than in (a) or (b) when there is significant professional experience relevant to the proposed area of scholarship.
Students must satisfy any further requirements set by the graduate program committee. Students whose native language is not English may be required to satisfy the University and the graduate program committee as to their capability in English.
Your experience at Ernst Young might apply to the "exceptional circumstances". Can you get a referral from this company to complete the Masters? If you had a job offer contingent on the maters degree, it would help in so many ways (immigration wise too)
