As I may have mentioned last blog, this is my last semester in the ol' undergraduate degree. Following that, I have to figure out what I am going to do with my life. Fortunately, I have a Plan A.
Dalhousie, my university, has started an new MBA (Masters of Business Administration) programme. They had an old one, but this new one is super revamped and unique to the WORLD or some shit. They call it a "Corporate Residency" MBA, which means for 8 months out of the 2 years I'll be employed full time by one of the program's corporate partners or affiliates. This is longer and more intensive than a typical co-op program, and there's a high likelihood that the company that "hires" me on in those 8 months will become my career company. After the 8-months the company and the uni work with you to plan your elective courses so that you tune your skills precisely. Interesting stuff.
However in this first year they're only accepting 50 people worldwide into the program. Also it costs $38,000 for two years. You're expected to make about $30,000 over the 8 month period though, but you still have pay a lump sum, I think.
Luckily I have an advantage in being a DAL student already, and I am healthily past their minimum GPA requirements. All I have to do is knock the GMAT out of the park and I should be at least highly considered. The program starts in JULY, which is weird, but still gives me time to make it to Montreal in June (fingers crossed).

Plan B is like, applying to normal MBAs at the other universities. Pleh.
