I disagree. 85-87% average is definitely good enough for SFU Beedie (Make sure you spend time writing/editing your supplementals for it).

First year business/econ courses are not that easy, and averages are NOT low. You have a bunch of 1st/2nd year students trying their hardest to transfer into Beedie. Then you have all the other beedie students trying their hardest as well to get high gpa's for Co-op/Scholarship/etc.

Off my head, I only know 1/4 people who successfully transferred from SFU Arts into Beedie. The 3 who didn't get in were actually my friends. That being said, it's not impossible, but not as easy as you make it sound like.

Aside from Kwantlen/Langara/etc, there's also the upgrading highschool marks route (adult school) and re-apply.
