Hi guys,
My degree is in Spanish and I've worked as a teacher for 5 years. However, I have been applied for and have been accepted to do a Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Toronto. I have read a number of comments about study mismatch and needing to show career progression but it seems that no one in Barbados which is where I am applying from is aware of this requirement. Therefore, I have found it impossible to find anyone to help me to figure out how to get around this. I have a few questions to ask:
1. Is the requirement to show career progression and to avoid study mismatch a requirement for all countries?
2. I understand from this forum that the best thing to do is to write a SOP but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm interested in pursuing a degree in business but I'm sure there must be more that I need to say.
3. My parents are both retired teachers. I was approved for a student loan and I'm planning to use their bank statements as proof of funds. There are sufficient funds on their account. But will the fact that they are retired be a problem? Should I include my bank statement as well although I don't have enough funds?
4. Do you think I will get my permit in time. I will be applying on August 7th. The processing time for Barbados is 1 week so I am banking on getting an answer in time. School starts on August 20th.
Your response to any of these questions would be a great help!
