How do I find an advisor?
AukSun School advisors at undergraduate institutions level are a source of information
about Canadian schools. If you are considering a school, you should introduce yourself
to AukSun School advisors as soon as possible. If you are not currently enrolled at a
Canadian university, you can locate your advisor by contacting AukSun Consultants.
The names and telephone numbers of the advisors at this weblink is also provided to
you on your registration confirmation from AukSun Educational Consultants.
How do I prepare for a school education?
Most Canadian schools want students who can think critically and write well, and
who have some understanding of the forces that have shaped the human
experience. These attributes can be acquired in any number of college courses,
whether in the arts and humanities, the social sciences, or the natural sciences.
An undergraduate career that is narrowly based or vocationally oriented may not be the
best preparation for a school. As long as you receive an education including critical
analysis, logical reasoning, and written and oral expression, the range of acceptable
college majors is very broad. What counts is the intensity and depth of your undergraduate
program and your capacity to perform well at an academically rigorous level.
What does a Canadian Institution's education cover?
Although you may choose from several different paths to a good education, whether the
school you choose is public or private, large or small, faith-related or independent, or
affiliated with a university, you'll find that the basic curriculum focuses on certain basic
skills required of all students in that function.
A Canadian Institution's program is designed to develop your analytical, creative, and
logical reasoning abilities. Going to a school will also strengthen your reading and
debating skills.
For example, Lawyers must know how to analyze legal issues in light of the constantly
changing state of the a and public policy. They must be able to advocate the views of
individuals and diverse interest groups within the context of the legal system. They must
be able to synthesize material that relates to multifaceted issues. They must give
intelligent counsel on the law's requirements. Moreover, lawyers must write and speak
clearly and be able to persuade and negotiate effectively.
Is there a standard a school curriculum?
Not exactly. But in nearly every Canadian province, graduation from an AukSun-approved
school require two to three years of full-time attendance, or four years of part-time study,
if a part-time program is offered. Although schools differ in the emphasis they give to
certain subjects and in the degree to which they provide opportunities for independent
study and clinical experience, nearly all schools have certain basic similarities. Most
schools rely on the 'case method' approach to teaching with some lecture driven settings.
First-year curricula usually include general courses toward a particular line of studies
while later years emphasise on more speciallised branch of study.
Most schools share a common approach to the task of training students. Many
emphasize particular teaching methods, placing students in internships for academic
credit, or using government or related resources of a surrounding community. A number
of schools have developed specialized programs of instruction combining a course of
study with other disciplines such as business, public administration, international
relations, science, and technology.
Who is applying to a school?
According to recent statistics, about 25 percent of all school applicants were 22 years old
or younger; about 37 percent were 23 to 25; and about 19 percent were between ages 26
and 29. Applicants who were 30 to 34 years old made up about 10 percent of the
applicant pool, while 9 percent were over 34 years old.
A growing number of women began to apply to Canadian schools beginning in the early
1970s, when only 10 percent of all a students were women. Currently, nearly one-half of
all applicants are women.
How can I find out more about schools?
Look widely and inquire carefully. You really cannot spend too much time or effort
gathering and studying information on schools. Select the schools to which you will apply
only after reviewing the admission material available from each a school on your list of
possibilities.
Write to us for schools bulletins, catalogs, or other materials that include complete and
current information. A complete list with addresses for all AukSun Educational
Consultants -member schools in the US and Canada is included here.
Consult our college advisors or our career counselors who encourage students and
alumni to contact them for assistance even if you have been out of school for a number of
years.
Visit Canadian schools. You can learn a great deal by talking with students and faculty
members, and by visiting classes. Talk to alumni of the schools, preferably a recent
graduate or one who is active in alumni affairs.
Attend a free a school forum arranged by AukSun Consultants from time to time. These
school forums are excellent opportunities to talk with school representatives from
Canadian Institutions in one central location.
How do I choose a school?
You should begin the process of choosing a school with an honest appraisal of your
strengths and preferences. You should fill-in and submit the form . AukSun Consultants
approve all schools after carefully considering the size, composition, and background of
the student body; the location, size, and nature of the surrounding community; the
particular strengths or interests of a faculty; the degree to which clinical experience or
classroom learning is emphasized; the nature of any special programs offered; the
number and type of student organizations; the range of library holdings; and whether a
school is public or private. We also consider selecting schools with a strong minority
recruitment, retention, and mentoring program, or one with an active student organization
for students of your particular ethnic background.
At any rate, you should actually select more than one school where you think you could
succeed. Today, the average applicant applies to four or more schools.
