Course Content
Before You Apply
To get into Queen’s Commerce, you must first understand the program’s requirements. Joel gives a detailed explanation of grade expectations, the anticipated admissions cutoff, key dates and deadlines, OUAC, Net IDs, and the archaic Queen's University SOLUS platform.
Clarifying the Cryptic Admissions Process
Joel reveals exactly how the Queen’s Commerce admissions process works through a simple, yet thorough breakdown. With 10+ years of experience and knowing former classmates who have reviewed Queen's Commerce PSEs, you will gain more transparency on what goes on behind closed doors.
Admissions Secrets & Past Success Strategies
What does Queen’s Commerce look for? Having worked with hundreds of students and boasting a 90% success rate with his 1-on-1 clients, Joel has fine-tuned a very specific approach and technique with his students. He’ll share his strategies, mistakes to avoid, and case studies with past clients.
Self-Awareness & Emotional Maturity
Everyone has a uniqueness that differentiates them from the rest of the world. What is it about you that makes you different from other applicants? That’s the purpose of this module. Joel uses a proprietary set of frameworks and tools to help you craft a ‘brand identity’—ultimately allowing you to build a more authentic and memorable application.
Research
Research is a critical skill at university, yet very few students demonstrate it in their applications. In this module, Joel teaches students how to go beyond the call of duty when it comes to conducting (and conveying) good research on Queen's University and the Smith Commerce program. This module also explains the research that the admissions committee may perform on you as an applicant. We will provide specific tips on what you can do to leave the best impression.
Leadership Development
Leadership is one skill that every single top-ranked university program uses to describe their ideal candidate. However, it’s also the one skill students least effectively demonstrated by applicants. In this module, students get exclusive access to Joel’s curated database of approved leadership opportunities, along with several real examples of past student leadership initiatives.
Essay Writing Essentials
Here’s what you didn’t learn in English class: how to write a high-impact, outstanding admissions essay. Joel teaches you the exact process he uses to help his students create thousands of successful essays—one client describes this module as “a necessity for any student applying to university”.

“My husband and I really can't thank you enough for all you have done for our daughter's admission into Queen's Commerce.
You have challenged her thinking and writing, and pushed her to position her past accomplishments in ways she had not done so previously. You also gave her the confidence and initiative to begin a project that I believe she will sustain and draw further confidence from as well."
"Joel’s consulting work with Noa was truly a game changer. He worked with her to develop an X Factor as a common theme. He then help her craft all of her personal statements around this theme. The end result was exceptional.
Noa was accepted to Queen’s Commerce and awarded a scholarship. I told Joel his consulting fee was money well spent long before we learned that she had been accepted."
“I have absolutely no regrets working with Joel. He made the process of applying to universities a lot less stressful and made me consider things I never would have considered mentioning in my essays. I was accepted to Queen’s Commerce and Western Ivey. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone applying!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I take this bootcamp?
When I went to Queen's Commerce, I was the student head of recruiting—working directly with the program director. I've been advising students on their applications for ten years and my success rate is around 90% per year. This bootcamp encompasses everything a prospective applicant needs to know to get admitted.
It also includes real 1-on-1 high-level feedback on your essays from me, templates and suggested essay outlines to streamline your writing process, and custom-written essay examples.
How many students are enrolled in this bootcamp?
I enrol 25 students to this bootcamp on a first come, first serve basis. I limit enrollment because I like to be involved with my students and I simply don't have enough capacity for more.
What if I have a question? Am I able to contact you?
Yes! I will personally respond to your emails and queries about the bootcamp or your application via email. I take a limited number of students in each bootcamp, which allows me to answer your queries in a timely manner.
Please note, this bootcamp does not include essay editing or revisions, but I do provide that service at an additional rate. I recommend everyone to go through the bootcamp fully before we dive into my essay services.
How long will this bootcamp take me to complete?
The bootcamp contains over 10 hours of exclusive video footage, plus worksheets, templates, and other resources.
You could complete all of the modules in a couple days; however, we suggest you space it out by taking this bootcamp before (or alongside) writing your essays and applications. I always say starting earlier is better.
I also realize high school can be extremely busy, so I will personally send you email reminders if I notice you haven't taken a module recently.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
I've never had someone unhappy with my services, but if you made a purchase by mistake or there is another issue, please contact us within seven (7) days of your purchase describing your issue and I will refund you and remove your access.
Unfortunately, because this is a digital product and can be duplicated, I cannot offer a refund period any longer than that. Please read my Terms & Conditions for additional information.
What if I want to buy multiple bootcamps?
I offer my existing clients who are currently enrolled in bootcamps a special 50% off discount for additional bootcamps. Please purchase your first bootcamp and you'll unlock access to this exclusive discount.
