What to watch for
There is no direct OUAC code for "Marketing" at McMaster - all Grade 12 applicants to the DeGroote School of Business apply to Business I (MB), which leads to the Bachelor of Commerce. Marketing is one of several areas of focus (alongside Finance, Human Resources, etc.) chosen partway through the degree, not a separate admission stream. Grade requirement is Mid- to high-80s.
The same application also gets you to
Business I is the entry point for 3 other majors at McMaster. You are not choosing between these at application time.
