Independent Maze
Well, becoming an Independent Student is quite easy. All you have to do is ask for the form, fill it out, show them your birth certificate which proves you are Canadian citizen and over 21, pay 15$ and viola. Of course, I'm pretty sure I was the only 22 year old wanna-be-an-Independent-Student there with her father by her side, but hey, he was the one paying. So they probably just thought he was my 'sugar daddy', like so many have previously thought, lol.
Today I got to enjoy the wonders of registration and prerequisite labyrinths.
*If* I wanted to go into Accounting full-time at Concordia, before I could even apply I would have to fulfill the prerequisites of: Intro to Macroeconomics, Intro to Microeconomics, Computer Applications, Algebra and Functions, Fundamental Mathematics 1, and Fundamental Mathematics 2.
*If* I wanted to go into accounting at McGill, I'd have to add another 3 math classes to the above list of prerequisites, but subtract the computer class.
*But* if I wanted to go back to UQAM for accounting, then I'd have NO prerequisites. I would be taking Microeconomics, one computer class specific to accounting, and one Statistics class. All of which are included in the 3-year program.
I hated UQAM. But I don't know if I'll like Concordia that much either, yet. And one whole semester's worth of classes (1000$, not to mention time) is a considerably big enough difference to make you think twice about your choice of university.
So, one step at a time. I'm taking Microeconomics at Concordia (if I end up going to UQAM, I'll get it credited), and Intro to Financial Accounting, to test out if I'm good at it at all, and if I even like it.
About next semester, who knows! If I really like Concordia, I just might consider taking all of those prerequisites, if not... it's back to the hell hole for 3 years. If I can't stand accounting... I'll have to look into something else. ::shrug and sigh::
