r/OntarioGrade12s

opened a bank account with them, did the qualifying tasks, waited the 20 days and more, called them about it and still no answer 😭

It’s legit isn’t it?

Currently, I have 90.7% for early apps. (93 calc, 93 adv, 93 chem, 93 data, 86 gr 11 English, 86 gr 11 physics)

Full IB course load; expected second-semester midterm average is 93%

My ECs are: Roblox Game Developer, Engineering Project (Arduino Robot), Steam ICIC Exec, DECA, Engineer Experience, and a few other ECs.

I applied to McMaster Mech, Carleton Aero, Western AIS & Mech.

I am just wondering whether my resume is good enough to get into these universities

So I’m currently taking a gap year and I thought by now i would have fully figured out what I had wanted but I still find myself in the same boat as last year. Just some backstory but last year was my first year back in canada after leaving for a while and I wish i had had more information on how to be strategic about planning it because instead of focusing on what classes could be beneficial and important I ended up taking whatever class sounded fun and even with that I didn’t try as hard as i wish I did, I didn’t realize how competitive universities here could be and was under the impression my low 80s could be enough, paired with the fact i didn’t participate in a single ec cause I didn’t know where to even start I just feel like I’m so behind. During the summer is when i started looking around this sub a lot more and that kind of motivated me to start looking into what I want to do a little more, I was already planning to taking advanced functions and calculus this year, but then i also decided to retake english in hopes i could improve my grade from my previous 85 to a 90+ hopefully but now its October and I have not put in the work to where that grade looks even the least bit achievable, i had gotten a job in around august and have just been missing so many assignments and now I’m just so lost is it too late to fix the grade or should I just give up and drop it and stick with my old grade and see how far it can get me.

getting 100s, its wild

if i got nominated for chancellors scholarship (but maybe didnt get it) would it help me out? I wanna do queens health sci and a lot fo ppl were chancellors winners/nominees

im so worried. i just looked at the spreadsheet why is everyone on there's marks in the 90s. i feel so slow and stupid. i wanted to do nursing or btm at tmu and it says 70% avg so i thought id be chill with my 80s as i have always been. but the spreadsheet specifically for nursing only has 90s and theres someone in the 80s who said they were waitlisted.

i didnt realise that the website could be so off from who they actually take in. im doin g terrible in math and chem, extremely bad.

i alr took 3 gr 12 courses, eng got 90, physics in the summer got 91, and IDC4U and got 96. i think these will be for sure in my top 6 in any combination, but math and chem i am barely passing. i thought i would be good for chem, i had an 86 in it last year. i knew i was trash in math tho. im trying to study and do the questions now but its a little late already and its just ocotber.

i really wanted to do medical radiation sciences at mac, then i realised anything at mcmaster is unrealistic so im giving up on that dream... my hopes are gone i dont think ill ever apply. i want to do something medical that i can get undergrad graduation from and get a job right after. i might just be a business major who knows. nursing sounds better and better to me ill be desensitized by everything by the time i start working right

also i dont want to do the UOFT one i dont think that school is good for anyones mental health. maybe...

idk what to do i dont want to go to college i know its a fine option but i would rather go to uni.

worried stressed grade 12 who has always been in the mid 80s what do i do send help

I am a gr 12 student my top six average rn is 96.8 but half of those classes are grade 11. I want to go to Queens’s concurrent education but am worried about the supplementary application and need a backup.

Brock is only based off grades so I was gonna apply to ConEd there as well but every time I mention Brock to people they kind of make a face and advise against it. I understand it’s not as prestigious but all I care about is job prospects after university. Is it really that bad? Will it be harder to get a job if I go to Brock rather than somewhere with a better reputation? Should I even still apply?

I’m looking for universities for CS, and I noticed that McMaster is sometimes ranked below universities with high 80s to low 90s admission averages, like UAlberta, UCalgary, uOttawa, and Carleton, even though McMaster requires a high 90s average and supp app. Could someone please tell me how good McMaster actually is?

What should I do? I don’t usually mind it but I don’t think it’s fair for my assignments to be marked by ai

when uoft, waterloo, or mcmaster get midterm grades, what do they put in place of the missing calculus grade? do they count adv func x2 or do they use gr 11 func in replacmeent?

I want to get a somewhat decently paid government job which might be a bit far fetched and probably really boring or idk but I honestly dont know what else I want to do. A stable job with good pension sounds pretty good though. I was planning to maybe do political science or maybe smth health policy. Love to hear any advice or anything, would really help thanks!! It'll be great to know what people have ended up doing after taking social sciences. I also heard that uottawa was a pretty good option, mcmaster also sounded pretty nice, not sure though.

PS. A bunch of friends are planning to get into waterloo so it's pretty high on my list right now. I'm not sure if it's personally the best option for me though idk. I know I'll be awesome to rush to class on the same campus together and go home to a group minecraft session while cramming for midterms or smth.

What are some extracurriculars you did to get into business programs

York
Waterloo
UoFT
Western
Queens
Any others

Hey, so physics isn't going the way I wanted I probably have the worst schedule of all time as I have advanced functions physics political religion and English in one semester I put all my effort into mostly physics and advanced functions and though I have an 85 in physics I'm down to a 70 I know for a fact my English and religion grade should already be fine but I'm losing sleep over physics my teacher does a horrible job at explaining and thinks he knows everything because he graduated from University of Toronto

does anyone have any study material or whatnot that I can use that can help me get a better grade I'm already losing sleep studying till 12:00 at night just to get a bad grade on my quizzes and I don't know what to do as this is the first time I've ever had a bad teacher

I'm trying to apply to Brock Engineering, and I don't even know if I can get into that if this keeps up is it time to panic for reference my original grade in physics was an 84

who the hell wants to build all these bridges and stupid skyscrapers (other than me ofc). WHY on gods green earth is civil engineering like mid 90's?

I'm sitting at a 92ish as my top 5, and 93ish as my top 6. I'm doing the IBDP, so i am PRAYING that the curve locks in during my exams.

Chemistry (grade 12- current): 94

Physics (grade 11): 90

Adv Func: 96

English (grade 11): 87 (istg i didn't kill my teacher's dog or anything like that)

Calc (grade 12- current): 94

Econ (4M): 99 (bless my econ teacher's soul)

My end all goal is U of T, with Mac and Waterloo as a close second. I applied to York and Ottawa too. Lowk got scared away from applying to TMU as my safety, cuz TMU got no right being 90+...

Can anybody chance me? Things that I can improve upon?

I did horrible on my first quiz just completely blanked. Would data management next semester help if I don’t do well in this class?

Guys, I was looking at the spreadsheet, and some people from last year applied in October and even received a response within a week. I was wondering how that’s possible
