raining

各位学长们，
& T% S9 |  D7 j6 `4 z你们好，小妹有机遇上这个Co-op，略知一二。但是仍有几个问题想问有经验的学长们。
( u4 M7 G& m! c9 o
1．申请September entry好还是 January entry好，对学习有什么影响么？
2．关于Co-op Letter of Intent应该注重哪些细节才能被看好
7 s$ j' O- t; d+ p3．读专业课有多少能在coop过程中用得上，如果做的不perfect会不会被轻易辞掉了也就是fail了
8 N5 S! x" O: r! ?$ w; i+ j' w4．在面试过程中在言语上我该注意哪些，怎样才会容易被admitted
5．关于Independent research on Cooperative Education and have a good understanding of the program 有些不明白，我是该写research paper面试当天带去还是只需要自己understand就可以了
6．如果面试被fail了，以后再进co-op是不是就没机会了如果credit在允许的情况下？

我现在实在是太紧张了，对这方面一点经验都没有假期光上课了什么准备工作还没做好。各位学长如能解答，小妹真是感激不尽，先谢谢大家。

1: if u r in acctg, go for sep entry, that's when most acctg jobs posted....same goes for fin jobs.
2: focus on y u wanna go for co-op, wat's ur future career plan is and how u plan to get to ur goal.
% P: m" r& {1 [5 d% p  ^7 V3: that depends. Again, if u r in acctg, u should have at least 3.0 for ur GPA. Cuz even if u r lucky, the coop office let u in, if u have less than 3.0, it would be extremely hard for u to get a job later.
. f1 l4 v9 ]$ O4: In the interview, u should make it sound u r really really determined to do the program, u know exactly wat u want from this program and u R goin to finish it without any problems.
+ Y3 `6 z: h- L6 q: \5: the research is for urself, u just have to know how the program works (i.e. u need to know the schedule of the program, how the program fits ur undergrad schedule and how u gonna finish the program).
) f, C; q% R9 K! e0 Q) t6: that;s based on individual case, i am not sure if u can still apply. normally, no.

# _9 H( g4 i; H- e5 w都被你猜中了,太帅了..我look for CA firm. 什么是CASB和MPACC,我略read了institution,可不知道interview问我什么. 还需指教,我没校内,能不能给我留个MSN或QQ,非常感谢呀!!!!{:3_105:}

1 J# Q9 w' h% E2 o# `2 h6 @I am barely on msn ...and never use QQ....hahhaa..sorrie.....i can only type that much info here. you need to do ur own research (i.e. google would be a great place to start...)
CASB: CA school of business, it has 6 modules, u need to finish 12 pre-req courses at UofA (u can find the course list on CA insititutes website), after u done ur 12 pre-req courses, u can apply for mod 1. But u WILL need to be employed to go onto mod 2..........after u finish all 6 modules, in that year, u will write ur UFE (uniform evaluation exams, the final exam for CA). Coupled with CASB, u WILL need 36 months of working experience rite now in order to be chartered.
! Y' I' B5 w4 Q: JMPAcc: Master of Professional Accountancy, offered by USask, I am doing MPAcc myself, and this is a master degree that will allow u to skip Mod 1 - Mod 5. and this program spreads into 2 summer, in total of 8 months. So i work for 8 months with my firm in year 1 then i will go to MPAcc from may till the end of aug. Same goes for the sec yr. At the end of my sec yr program, I will be writing UFE with ppl from CASB.
* K! Z. j, [4 A
" o( V/ l3 ?# l+ qBasically those 2 are the same thing, but u get a master degree with MPAcc.....

& F+ r8 E; @4 ^: o3 f0 fI searched on the CA web, the Step 1: Start with a degree,Step 2: Obtain Employment in a CA Training Office,Step 3: Learn through CASB。。。I have a question here, for the step 1, since i m not finishing my degree, how i can be admitted by CA firm during my co-op program. For second step that u didnt mention this training office, is this the one(same as coop?) that i can apply for in the sep entry? If so,its allowed to do the step 1 and step 2 together? for the third step, it requires the 12 pre courses in u of a, but few courses are not my required course for my undergraduate ie.SMO 404,406 and couple of accountings.. i  can get my undergruade degree without these course but 120 credit. do i have to study these courses with "no credit" in u of a after i obtain a degree?
% X! m4 p8 f/ K9 P8 [' j
When I interview with CA firm for my co-op, should i tell them about my plan to be a CA in the future and tell them my pre-courses are not finished?

' Y' J! C7 a( o8 _" `4 @0 A$ WMPAcc is too far away from me right now, since i may not take master after my graduation.
