Colleges Where I Was Accepted
Reason for choosing my college
The Post-graduate program I took at Seneca college was tailored to my interests and career goals, offering the right mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. I value Seneca's Multi-cultural community and its supportive atmosphere. Seneca adopts modern teaching techniques, including project-based learning, case studies and use of industry-standard tools. and Before enrolling, I spoke with alumni and reviewed testimonials also.
Colleges Where I Was Rejected
Reason for Rejection
They were asking for industry experience and I didn’tt have any. Moreover I didn’tt want to go to UK that's why I decided for Seneca and not for universities in UK. I had my relatives in Canada so that was the main reason.
