Find Your Best Back-Up Plan

Ever heard the phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”? Well, university admissions are one area where this famous idiom applies. Here are a few tips for making a back-up plan that is not just bearable, it could be better than you ever dreamed.

Broaden your search

A recent study from the Canadian Bureau of International Education indicated that “91 percent of employers say they value job candidates with international experience because it develops cross-cultural understanding. And 50 percent said they would hire a candidate with study abroad experience over one without — all else being equal.”
