I was advised to enroll in Bachelor of General Studies since I did really bad in my three years at SFU (my CGPA is only 2.06 and I have used up all my retakes). I still need 33 upper division credits in order to graduate but I feel I'm stucked because I am not interested in any of the upper division elective courses. Should I continue at SFU and take the courses that I'm not interest in or can I transfer to other university and get a degree there? Is it too late now?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much!

ps. I wish to do a econ degree but apparently my CPGA didn't let me enroll in the upper level econ courses

    SFU itself has pretty low standards already so your chances of transferring to another University is pretty slim (and to do well? Even harder). Try transferring to BCIT or Langara if you want to finish that Econ degree.

    Alternatively, you could just drop out Economics... cause it doesn't seem like you're cut out for Econ. But since you already wasted 3 years on Econ... try Business since it's less math and theory than Econ. Most of the courses will probably apply to a Business degree. But then again, you need a 3.00 CGPA to transfer into Business.

    You could take GPA Boosters (CMPT 165) and boost up your CGPA until it's good enough for Upper Econ courses.

    So I guess you're screwed. Either transfer to a lower level post-secondary school or take CMPT 165.

    Transfer to a college and start doing something you're interested in. It's pointless and a waste of money to take courses you have no interest in. Do you actually like the lower div Econ classes? If you don't, don't be one of those people that graduate with a degree and realize that you hate the jobs associated with it. You're better off doing something you like.

    Why do you guys keep pushing CMPT 165 like it's a goddamn E pill?

    Jesus. There's a zillion bird courses being offered by the science and arts departments at the 18x and 19x level (like CHEM 192, ooh so difficult, you actually analyze a Harry Potter spell in one of your essays), because of the new WQB requirements.

    Look, I hate to hijack the thread here, but honestly? I'm pretty good at programming and so on, both theory and practice, and I still had to just bypass one assignment when I had it with Popowich because it was starting to unravel on me. So I just said screw this, moving on.

    Never say something is easy without specifying on what scale of easiness you mean. A person who can't walk doesn't find it "easy" to go up a flight of stairs.
