TRU: A fun time in Kamloops

Overview

I contacted CareerBrick in Delhi, and they helped me with the admission process. Gave IELTS after studying for 3-4 days from an online platform called Magoosh. The admission process was relatively easy. Got the confirmation from the university in a couple of months, and that's it. Also, I gave my GMAT too, although it isn't a prerequisite for admission at the university.

Money Making Machine

Overview

I applied with my engineering transcript and IELTS scores for admission with help of an agent from India. It took six months to know a decision from the university's side. I selected this institution because being an engineer this is the only institution that takes non-business graduates for higher studies in programs such as post-baccalaureate diplomas.

Scholarship

I received a TRU diversity scholarship in the first year which was for students with good marks. However international students do NOT receive many scholarships here. Even though I received the scholarship they didn't give it to me in the second year saying that the scholarship was given to everyone because it was some anniversary. Moreover, many students were given the same amount when it was the pandemic and the university was struggling to find more immigrants which makes sense now.

The Post Baccalaureate program at Thompson Rivers University

Overview

TRU is one of the best experiences anyone can get. For an average student like me, you get more than average rating University which has a good campus and can explore a lot of things in the University from joining clubs to being part of all the activities. One of the other reasons is diversity which is difficult to find in many colleges in Canada but fortunately, TRU will give that opportunity, especially in non-business courses.

Scholarship

No, I didn't receive any scholarship.

Studying at University

Overview

I came from Ukraine so the price is a good reason to choose TRU. It is cheaper than most Canadian major universities but still, it offers a lot of programs and activities. That fact that I had really good grades in school helps me still in studying and I did not have any problems with getting in a course.

Scholarship

Thanks to my grades from high school. I had got an entrance scholarship (1000$). The application was done by my international advisor during my application so I did not need to do anything.
