Question about College

Im in my last year of high school. I realized im lacking some prequisites for the college course i want, in particular grade 12 math. Just wondering is it still possible to get into the course?

Another question, COllege or University? I need guidence guys, by the way im fairly good student. I would say rank top 15 in my class

college vs university....


college is more hands on and gives you more practical experience,

university is more studies and acidemic oriented...

they are both good, its just what you want... the best way to go is both... but that takes time and money

There are many college courses that can prepare u for some jobs that can in some cases surpass jobs of those ppl who attend Universities

Gotta look into it more, do some research, Math is iffy, i stopped math in grd.11, my college course required it, i still got in, and that was during the Double Cohert year....

Prequsites are just for if there is an abundace of ppl applying really...hey try applying, it never hurts, and if they deny u, call back in August, and ask if they have any spots open. .


Another route if ur really hurtin to get in this year, apply to something retarded at the same college that u wanna go to for the course u want and just transfer within, after like a semester, if there are Jan. starts for the course.

Again research more and u will find out a whole wack of info

university is not better than college... it just prepares you differently...

for certain careers, college is accually much better and employers will hire you with college before unuversity... but for other types of careers, its the opposite...


dont be discouraged from college, but research what programs they have and what you want...

talk to a guidance councellor at school and ask them, they have a good idea of where would be best for you

yeh im on this one....

university...OR college.. both are good in their own way, but neither will automatically land you a good job right away, its how you apply yourself, if your under the impression you go to university and your automatically gonna make the dough, good luck

hard work and luck....thats about it. get some broad that wants to bang u and u got the job buddy......get some guy that wants to hire a hot broad....ur done buddy.

Education is the first step...dumb luck and/or knowing someone is the next step heh.

Best thing is to look at what you want to do exactly....take into account where you plan to live. Toronto, for instance, is a damn big pond and you need every edge you can get to land the job you want....I would think.

Can't you take summer classes to get the math credit you need? if that is a prerequisite, I couldnt imagine a post secondary school letting you through without it.
