| Grade for Entrance Previous Year (%)* | 70 |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
A baccalaureate graduating average of at least 70% is required. Applicants with a marginally lower 4-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75% or more). An applicant is to have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in the chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies will be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work. |

- Resume/Curriculum Vitae
