What to watch for
Trent has two accounting routes: Accounting & Economics (RDU, 70% minimum; RKF co-op at 80%) and Business Administration - Accounting - Co-op (RDM, 80-85%). Trent publishes a minimum, and its own admissions FAQ says 'meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission'. The safety net is real: if you are not admitted to a competitive programme, Trent automatically assesses you for an alternate offer into a similar one, with no second application.
