I’ve been admitted to the Science Faculty, but am waiting to hear from Management. Therefore, I’ve been looking at fallback plans in case I don’t get into Management (definitely my preferred choice).

I have a general question regarding taking courses outside of your faculty and a more specific one regarding the difficulty (both in terms of workload and course accessibility) of doing a Finance minor in conjunction with a Math major.

Although the course calendar states that Arts and/or Science students can take up to 18 credits in the Management faculty towards a minor in some management area (e.g., Finance, Marketing, etc.), what is the reality of pursuing such an option? Is it fairly easy to cross-register in management courses? Or is there a huge queue based on some pecking order algorithm to decide who gets into these courses?

Any input from current McGill students, especially math majors who have experience in such matters, would be greatly appreciated!
