I’m a BBA struggle student who goes to UTSC. I’m enrolled in the coop program and I’m not doing well at all. So basically to stay in coop I need 2.5 GPA and I believe to stay in the program I need at least a 2.3 (correct me if I am wrong). However, after the madness which was first year, I’m at a 1.8 GPA and I still have some courses I need to finish which I dropped (managerial accounting and statistics).

I am very worried that I will be kicked out of the program and I am looking for alternatives as to what I should do. The only thing if I were to stay in this program that I would specialize in would be strategic management or marketing, so I’m not exactly sure how I would go about staying in this program and trying to get through 2nd year with difficult courses as well (like finance and accounting again).

I’m thinking as an alternative to do public policy major and a minor in statistics, however, I’m not exactly sure if this would be a good idea. Out of all of my courses, calculus interested me a lot and I did not take statistics yet so I’m not sure how that would turn out.

My fear is being kicked out of this program and worrying if I stay in this program somehow, how on earth would I get a GPA that’s high enough to apply for post secondary (I am currently flirting with the idea of going to law school sometime in the future). With public policy, I’m not sure what exactly I can do with it (I do not want to work in government) and I see many places demand a business administration degree so I am also worried that I will be shooting myself in the foot if I were to drop out of business management and switch into public policy and a minor in statistics.

Overall, out of everything from business so far I can say that I hate accounting, I hate accounting, economics is okay, marketing is meh, but I am very bored in this program and my courses I did not feel interested in doing them or learning from them.

So what should I do.

Please give me pros and cons and please be realistic. I do not want to hear follow your dreams or follow your passion. Although those are okay answers, I need something more pragmatic, concrete and realistic, taking into account our economic realities.

Thank you in advance.
