| Forgot to mention that 90+ also gets you some nice entrance scholarships, especially in Ontario (I found Queens and UWO to be the most generous, while schools in the west such as UBC, less generous; e.g. Queens/UWO will give $10 000 for 95+ and I think $5000 for 90+, while UBC only gives $2000 for 90+)
For those of you headed down to the states, what are you guys thinking of doing in terms of bank accounts? Open a second account at a US bank but still maintain a Canadian account? I'm wondering if it would be worth transferring to HSBC which has branch locations in both in my hometown and in Philly, so I'd have access to my account during the school year and during holidays when I'm at home... |
