The shitty hill kills my fuel mileage. I get roughly 100km less from a full tank compared to driving on "flatty" terrain.

What are my chances of getting a Co-op position ?

So this is my profile so far :

Cgpa: 2.86 ( Will go up to 2.9 or above after this semester )
GPA of all business classes = 3.13
Upper division business gpa = 3.03

Jobs:
Held 2 seasonal 4 month positions.
private tutoring for 8 months
Now Currently looking for a job

Volunteer:
Currently applying for office administration position

So this is my profile so far.

Sfu has this stupid minimum 3 work term requirement for business co op which means that if I don't find any position, I will never graduate or I will be in school until I am 25 until I land 3 co op positions.

Should I just finish my courses and graduate or is there a chance that I land a position. I have only 9 courses left so that's approx 2 semesters worth.

Co-op advisors are useless and only tell me to apply. I asked them the same question and all they said is that it depends on the employers. WTF.

Please be brutally honest.
I only did 2 work terms via the co-op program. A lot of people I know only end up doing 1 or 2 and graduate without ever finishing that last co-op work term. Most people don't really care about having the co-op thingy show up on your transcript; I definitely don't.

Your chances depend on the company.... the advisers are right in saying that you should just apply. The first company I co-oped for did not care at all about GPA. Boss didn't even look at it when screening resumes and cover letters. Some companies don't care, some companies have a cut-off GPA, but if you don't apply you'll never know . I would go for at least 1 co-op before you graduate because the job market is really tough right now. I have friends struggling to find jobs in their discipline/concentration even with 3 co-ops, so imagine how hard it would be if you had no relevant work experience!

What's your concentration? As some people have mentioned, your changes of landing a particular job depend on the employer but as long as you take the time to tailor your resume/cover letter and you're not shitty at interviews, you'll be able to get something.

Apply for co-op and do it. Very worthwhile. However the earliest you'll be able to do a placement will be September (seek in the Summer). Given your current situation, you'll most likely just work with one employer then finish off your undergrad with a couple of courses. I think the rule is that you must be enrolled in a course during your last undergrad semester. If you do decide to do co-op, make sure the course offerings in the next couple of semesters allow you to do so. The number of co-op terms isn't going to stop you from graduating.

Your GPA currently isn't going to prevent you from getting some benefits out of co-op. If you're that worried, beef up your resume with experience/volunteer work that highlight your skills and qualifications.
