Hey so I am planning on applying to UBC and I am not sure if I am qualified enough. I have around a 33/42 predicted in IB my classes are History HL, Economics HL, English HL, Math AA SL, ..... So you get the point. I have so much ECS but not really regarding the major I want to pick which is BCom. I did an internship at a bank this summer and was a student council treasurer. I held many events like Tedx and stuff but I feel like my grades are dragging me down. What do you think? The admissions officer said to apply to Okanagan campus instead for a better chance.

If ya'll doing bad in AF...please drop that before midterms cuz your grades gonna be uploaded to OCAS. If you really need AF, then try to do it during night school next semester or whatever. Don't let this mess up your avg.

According to some guidance counselors: All course drops must be made by Nov. 23rd.

Hi I’m a grade 12 student and I moved to Canada grade 11 and was immediately drowned with work, assignments and my studies so I didn’t had much time to finish my 20 hour volunteering. Right now I have 17 hours of volunteering left and I have no idea on where to find any positions available or what websites to look for
I know there’s some places where you can do online and in home but I don’t know which ones are legit and where I can find them
Pls someone help me out!!!
Thank u!!!

Not gonna lie I started off the year unfocused so my midterm is going to be iffy 97 chem 96 functions 95 physics, (i have online bio from summer 96), last year had a 92 in english which kinda bringing me down but the rest were high 90s.

Does an average around this stay competitive for programs like EE at Waterloo or UofT? my final marks will def be closer to a 98 in all just need more assessments but midterms are kinda cooked.

My ECs are average/good work 35+ hrs a week, had an internship, sc vice pres, ran tutoring business among other things

Not sure anymore where I stand since the minimmum average increasing

What are my chances to get accepted early admissions/b4 my final grades. I am asking this because my calc teacher is doing sum weird grade thing for midterms where they drop our lowest mark in each section. Long story short, my grade goes from a 90 —> 95. With that I am looking to get accepted early admissions since this grade thing is only for midterms and they are basically “ghosting” the mark, not getting rid of it perma.

Grades: - top 6
English 11 : 91
Adv Func: 93
Calc: 95
BBB: 94
BOH (online Private) : 97
Econ: 89
so roughly
93 average.

Ec’s are Rotman presentation comp winner and two jobs related to working with kids and investment club vice president and member of robotics and deca provs x2. + best in school for physics comp. + basic volunteering stuff total 60 hrs

What are the chances or things I should do to get in b4 the January? Lmk thx 🥸

I applied like 2 weeks ago and all the other unis have sent out confirmations so im getting a bit worried.

Hello.
As a bit of background, i had a 96ish average is grade 11, along with a 96 in HSE4M and an 86 in SPH4U. In the summer between grade 11 and 12 i moved to the united states but as a canadian citizen im still applying to ontario unis. My grade 12 average currently is a 93.8 and im assuming it will stay around there. It’s fallen as i found the grade inflation to be smaller here and my rigor went up and im taking a lot more courses to graduate than i would in ontario. With that being said, 1) if i took the 4U/4M course in grade 11 do they automatically count towards my top 6? My physics grade is my worst one in highschool so id prefer if it stayed off. 2) will the change in rigor be considered or do we think it will look like my grades dropped. I’m applying to healthsci programs btw. Thank you for your help!

Ok so im 17F, and i keep seeing people getting accepted into universities recently. I applied to 5 (Queens, York, Guelph, Western, and Carleton) all for the BA psychology program, and no acceptance or anything from any of them. Before anyone comes for my throat, yes ik these things can take time but unfortunately I am not someone who radiates patience, and I am at my last stretch of patience (shocking I’ve made it this long), so yeah lol. Any words of encouragement would be so helpful.

Hey Everyone,

I was looking for some guidance and was wondering if you guys could help me decide what programs I will REALISTICALLY get into. I have applied for

1. Queens Commerce

2. Western Ivey

3. Laurier BBA

4. Western BMOS

5. Queens Economics

I have around a 95% average going right now, I have completed data management and finished with a 99. My EC's are football captain on top 10 team in country, deca member, part time job working 15 hours a week, and initiative work with my friends to get sports equipment for needing teenagers. Please give honest opinion on what programs you think I will get into/ feedback. thanks:)

I currently have an 83 average right now, though it is really earlier and im expecting around 87-89 range with good extra curricular. Do you think this is enough or should i really go the extra mile for higher im stressing out a little about this. Also will my grade 11 marks matter?? I did quite poor as i was a joke last year but im not doing early admission so how important is it?

Grade 11 3U/M Average: ~93

Completed:

1. HSE4MP: 85
2. ICS4UP: 95

Sem 1 Predicted (±1 for all):

1. HZT4U1: 97
2. BBB4M1: 97
3. MHF4U1: 97
4. MDM4U1: 97

my ecs r nothing special but I'm good at talking (I alr did schulich and rotman supp and I think I did good)

also if anybody knows about laurier lmk

I need them to practice will help alot because the text book questions are way too easy compared to the test questions...

Bro they wanna ban Minecraft for under 16s. What is this idea. We can’t be like the uk, my friend there can’t even talk in Minecraft chat or any video game chat anymore. why do we have to get punished why can’t the pedos just get sentenced properly

How do you even prepare for communication questions?

I heard people mentioning top 3 for McMaster for rounds before sem 2 midterms. How does this work? Let’s say for eng u have eng, calc, chem, phys and 2 electives as ur pre reqs. Would they use 3 gr 12 pre reqs u have available or if u have more but they aren’t pre reqs would they use those as a substitute? Basically what marks does top 3 use for McMaster

The webpage just shows website is down currently for maintenance but it's been the same for like 30 hours so far, i have no idea what to do.

I’m currently in Grade 10 and planning my Grade 11 and 12 courses. I’m considering applying for SHSM Health and Wellness, which would require me to take co-op in both years.

My planned Grade 12 courses are:
English (ENG4U)
Advanced Functions (MHF4U)
Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)
Biology (SBI4U)
Chemistry (SCH4U)
Human Development and Family Studies (HHG4M)
Co-op

I’m hoping to pursue a Health Sciences or Life Sciences undergraduate program as a pre-med pathway. Since co-op leaves me with limited room for easier electives, I’m wondering if I should fast-track any courses through summer school to manage my workload and maintain a high average.

Which courses would you recommend taking in summer school, if any? Would it be worth it, or is it better to take everything during the regular school year?

Did anyone else here also apply to PPE programs in the UK? (Politics, Philosophy, Economics). I applied to Oxford, London School of Economics, UCL, and Warwick.

balancing math science and demanding language courses is so stressful. my mind is always consumed by academics and i am always on the verge of crying. i’m stressed constantly and can’t even breathe. language courses have such a heavy workload esp with these huge projects idk how i can finish them. someone also tell me they relate i can’t be alone. and also i don’t wanna hear anything abt how uni is harder, ik it is but im still allowed to be stressed abt my current senior year

my main goal is to receive an early admission offer as soon as possible.

I'm planning to apply to Western, Queen's, and Waterloo for Engineering and Physics programs.

My Grade 12 midterm marks for some courses won't be available until November 13 and November 19.

My concern is that if I apply now, universities might review my application using my Grade 11 marks before my stronger Grade 12 marks become available.

I'm not worried about getting rejected. I'm worried about missing the first round of early offers because universities might evaluate my application too early with my Grade 11 marks.

Would it be better to apply now or wait until late November when my Grade 12 midterm marks are available?

If I apply now and don't receive an offer in the first round, could that delay my admission offer compared to applying later with updated Grade 12 marks?

Has anyone experienced this, especially with Western, Queen's, or Waterloo?

Ok don’t flame me but ts so hard bruh 😭😭 I can’t wait for this misery to end

if anyone has any tests for these classes pls comment

i dont rlly need the chem quizzes(my teacher will drop them) , im in an extremely tough spot in both classes tho so i need some better practice so i aim for tests.

sorry if this breaks rule 1
preferably from this past year! (2025-2026)

if you have exams thats great too idc what ur mark is i just need the questions

It seems Carleton is sending out early applications.

Good luck to anyone else who applied!!!
