r/BCGrade12s

My grade 11 marks (im really really bad at sciences as you guys can probably tell.)

**I only took physics because i originally wanted to go into business and my counsellor suggested it.

Socials 88% (has 99% in grade 10, but my grade 11 teacher used proficiency scale thats why its so low💔)

EFP 97%

Psychology 94%

French 85% (again this teacher used proficiency scale too and consistently gave everyone 75%, so 3 out of 4, on almost every assignment.)

Precalc 91%

Chem 83% (Huge 8% drop bc i bombed the final ahaha...😂😂)

Physics 80%

Accounting 91% (it was at a 97% but i have no idea what i did bc my final report card showed 91%)

Chem 12 (89% - took over summer, its an improvement at least)

Ec's:

-Math institution volunteer 6 hours per week (was a student there myself for the past 10+ years)

-passion project: webnovel (i wanna major in english. Also I've been writing my own stories since i was 6, if that counts as consistency..)

-translation for my immigrant parents since i was a kid, for their clients over emails, calls, text, etc.

-cofounded a tutoring program + tutoring 2 kids in math and english weekly

-passion project: consistently practicing digital art

-managing small business website for family

$$$ Im looking for if anyone has any info for Physics 11 SIDES or Chem 12 on any of the online schools. How was your experience with the workload etc?

So grade 11 second semester I decided to change my tomfoolery behavior and decided to take pre calc 11 online take a diffrent English 11 online and retake bio 11 online and honestly I like it way more than in person so if I took say pre calc 12 and English 12 online would that be bad?

Schools I want to get into
McGill
Ubc
Uvic
Sfu

I took all of these classes online after i graduated because I was on the wrong path in highschool and decided to turn myself around, I applied for SFU engineering in january and these are my grades:

Pre calc 12: 86%

English 12: 95%

Law 12: 94%

Chemistry 12: 92%

Physics 12: 94%

Do i have a chance? I’m worried because of my Pre calc grade and i don’t wanna retake the class because I was busy for months doing these courses and im exhausted, what can i do to better my chances? I only applied to sfu

SFU is my backup, im pretty stressed being that applications are soon. Im considering retaking engl 12 either online or in person.

Aight, so i got an offer from UBCV Science and I had to maintain my grades to keep the offer. When they say "Maintain your current level of academic standing on required courses," is this supposed to be in like general requirements or requirements specific to Science? Cuz I already got good grades for my specialized requirements last year, but I just had to fulfill my general requirements this year, which they didn't specify but it just said I needed to complete 3 subjects to complete my qualification.
So I got like predicted grades for those subjects, and I fucking bombed the shit out of them for my actual results. I dropped my grades way more than just 2 grades that UBC permits, and I got one grade lower than the math grade they'd like for me to have.

Thing is that my school emailed the results to UBC, and they also explained that our official exams were cancelled and that we were in a war so we had to attend classes online and our exam schedule was fucked. Basically, everything was fucked this final year due to war so there were lots of compromises on how exams would go and I couldn't focus at this time.

So, am I cooked or is it possible my offer is retained due to my circumstances? Btw I told them about how my exams were gonna go and got this. No fails in any subjects, but I just got above average grades as my final ones, not the goated ones I was predicted. Is UBC strict when it comes to maintaining ur offer? Is it common for people to lose their offer here when grades are decently worse?

i was slacking off a lot in grade 11 and ended up with a 60-70 average overall in grade 11, if i work extra hard and aim for the high 90s will i have a chance for sfu arts or business? when do they cut off late applications for sfu

edit:
i forgot to mention that i’m retaking math and english online to hopefully boost my grade 11 average 🥲

Background:

I’m a g12 to-be. I started high school in Canada as a g10. As I was a newcomer, I barely took part in any activities at school during that year. Last year in g11 I started joining some clubs and took up some roles. EXACTLY is my main concern but theres also some problems with my academics. My average marks are fine right now, but my extracurricular activities are insufficient. What I’m worrying about is the personal profile for UBC, as other universities only look at my grades so they should be fine. I am aiming for ubc science, but i'll also apply for ubc arts. Below I have a few questions for you guys…if you could give me some feedback i'll greatly appreciate!!

First, academics subjects:

G11

English 11 - 83

Pre-cal 11 - 100

physics 11 - 98

chemistry 11 - 99

Computer programming 11 - 95

G12

english 12 - 88 (online)

Pre-cal 12 - 100

physics 12 - 98

psychology 12 - 96

chemistry 12 - (next year)

ap cal - (next year)

bc first peoples 12 - (next year)

As you can see, I’m quite strong in science subjects but my English grades are not really good. 1) Will it affect my application even if I have a high average?

Second, extracurricular activities:

1. Participation in math olympiad competitions (20+ competitions in the past ten years)
2. Participating and managing the school crochet club (including holding activities& teaching, for the past three years, also have a crochet instagram account showing my works with nearly 2k followers)
3. My interest in photography (including digital, analog, landscape, portrait, animal, street…registered for some competitions and an exhibition, have an active instagram account with nearly 1K followers with daily/semi-daily posts showcasing my works)
4. My interest in music (10 years in choir, 6 years in orchestra, know piano and trumpet)
5. Passion for mental health (involve in school mh club, online platform)
6. Started volunteering at a rabbit sanctuary and a therapeutic riding society this summer…

You can probably tell they are listed from strongest to weakest. The first three are still okay but the others can’t really show anything about me. I know I don’t have much time to do much more, so at this point I’m just thinking about how to polish my experience. My friends and I are planning to open a club next year too (tbh in my opinion it's too late but whateve). 2)What do you think about my profile with the activities listed above? 3) Will it be too art focused if i'm aiming for ubc science?

Lastly, as I mentioned, I am an immigrant. In my home country, I participated in quite a lot of ECAs but I’m not sure if they are appropriate to write. Fyi, I studied till g10 in hong kong. In hk, seniors have to take public exams so g11 is the oldest grade to be in charge of clubs. Here are some eca I did while I was there:

- Managed the STEAM society for three years (including holding activities, doing announcements)

- contributed as a student ambassador (leading school tours for juniors for three years)

- my music experience as mentioned in the eca part happened in hk

- leading a subgroup in library team (organising books, holding activities...also was librarian helper in elementary school) [i'm planning to be a library ambassador in my school here next year]

- being class association chairperson& other roles (serving the class, leading the class in different school activities)

- participated in the debate team (did some friendly matches and a public match)

- nominated by school and won a district wide award (it was a big award in hk but idk if people here care)

4) Should i write about these activities to strengthen my overall profile, or will it only make people think that i don't have enough activities here to write about?

Big thanks to anyone who provides me any help! If you're here to question my lack of engagements or to criticise whatever, save your time. i bet you can work on a lot other productive things instead of leaving negative comments on a random student's post.

and if you care, the contrast between my engagement in hk vs canada is because i was severely burnt out from all the achievements i strived for in hk (ngl it nearly took my life for a few times lol), and in canada i no longer dare to work hard for that.

Anyone take biology 12 at sail online?
What is the course outline and exams like?
Is there exams after every section also are they mpc or written?

so for some context Im applying to caf and will be going soon this year, I need physics 11 credit as a uni program I want to do after service requires it. I am taking a physics course at this time but I need my grade to be higher. since I'm not getting the grade I want for physics 11 I plan on doing it during my caf service. I may not have the most time but I am hoping there maybe some online courses you may suggest that can let be be very flexible within a tight schedule.

Hey everyone, I am going into grade 11 this september and want to apply to ubc science. In grade 10 i got a average of 94% and I am going to try getting higher in grade 11/12 but I am really worried that ubc science is super competitive and as of right now I only have three good ecs which is being part of my schools dance team, robotics team and doing volunteering outside. I could possibly get a job in the future which i could mention in my essays but overall im worried that keeping high grades wont matter if my ecs arent strong.

Secondly, does anyone know any good scholarships I could apply to and when I should start applying. I am a first gen immigrant and I dont have any connections to anyone older or more experienced so I thought I'd post on here.

Thanks everyone!

hey dudes, basically the title. i don’t really need physics for my uni degree but my friend took it and it seemed kinda fun. what would you guys recommend?

It’s the worst summer break i’ve ever had. I’m always wait for the letter and feel anxious all time.😭😭😭

Just wondering, where did you guys commit to and what was your avg?

I feel like avgs like these are not commonly talked abt on here so i believe it would be nice for the 09 to have variety as they will be applying soon!!

Got a 86% ENFP 12 in summer school (in person for context) should I retake in regular school year , my schools linear. Planning on social science / arts faculty for every uni. Mostly applying Ontario and mcgill

BACKSTORY IF YOU CARE: Last summer of highschool before university, pretty crazy to think about. Last year finished with a 95% average across my academic classes. FIrst 2 years of highschool I hung around the wrong crowd, got suspended, visited the principle easily 15 times, sneaking out, lots of bullshit. Grades werent horrible but nothing higher then 85% in any class. Grade 10 I started to fix my shit a little bit and started volunteering and lifeguarding etc and I actually improved a lot and brang my average up. Grade 11 I pushed very hard and got a 95% average across my academic classes in hope to be a engineer like my parents. Ive done a lot of engineering related ECs and continued my other lifelong ECs and honestly turned a lot of my life around.

Getting to the point here I want to get a even higher average (96 - 98) in my final year of highschool. I just want any tips from people because ive kind of learnt its not always about just being good at the subject but some strategy is involved aswell. Im hoping to attend either UBCV, UofT, Mcgill, Waterloo, and a few other schools.

if you have any advice on how i can make the most of my final year please drop it below and I appreciate it!
