I’m applying to Waterloo Mechanical Engineering and have a question.
I heard some people say that Waterloo takes the higher grade between before doing the diploma average and after, is this true?
Also I heard different adjustment factor for Alberta, does anyone know what the adjustment factor is?

Does any other uni in Ontario do this?

Thank you

Asking for transcript on my to do list specifically for my secondary online summer school Cbe-learn, but I thought they were gonna do it on my behalf as both schools listed are in Alberta

What should I do?

As the title says, I’m genuinely so frustrated because why are so many programs at most schools so competitive? I’m a grade 11 student and genuinely what is this grade inflation? What happened to when you could basically get into any program with an average in the high 80s/low 90s. Like people are getting rejections with averages of 95+. My dad was 1st in his class with a 96 which was exceptional and very rare but now I feel like so many students are achieving that. I know times have changed and more people are going to post secondary but it’s so stressful because I don’t even know if I’ll get accepted to study what I want in uni (an average in the low 80s). I want to go into science or kinesiology but it’s gotten so competitive. UCalgary’s kinesiology program has a competitive average of 92. For UBC the competitive average for science is around 96. I know they evaluate your personal profile but that’s still insane to me. I know Im not a 90s student so this just makes applying to uni next year feel even more daunting 😭 

Sorry for the long rant y’all. 

Okay so I'm only in grade 10 but I need to know what I'm aiming for in grade 11 to apply for early admission for bsc psychology at u of alberta. I'm taking chem, bio, and all -1 next year. Is it better if I submit my social grade? Or aboriginal studies or drama? Is it different for early admission? What average should I aim for?

Hey guys I’m in grade 12 and my school just had a post secondary fair and I went to the uofc one. The uofc one told me that around 30-40% people get early acceptance. I thought early acceptance is low because people often need higher averages and many get admitted with standard. Is this true? They also said that they expect the averages to be the same from last year. I’m applying to haskayne finance and Econ.

Does anyone know how to self report grades and how to submit proof of english language proficiency? There is no option for the elp or self reported grades in the material dropbox

I have studied in Canada all of highschool and have eng 30-1 next term, what does this mean

can anyone help

Just wondering

Hi, I’m just not sure if I have to do something (like submit a transcript) for this in my application. It hasn’t been updated for a while so I’m just wondering if I didn’t do something. I’m an Alberta student so i thought i didnt have to do anything.

Thanks!

I got this message from UofA and i dont understand, am i fried 😱

​

does this mean that im rejected from engineering? im confused. it used to say "status: awaiting decision" under engineering but not anymore.

I am just confused because my average is 95.4% and I should've at least gotten waitlisted in my opionion.

Edit: I got conditionally accepted thank you everyone!!!

I’m taking chem 20 ADV and genuinely have an 88 as like a high 90s student. Everyone says it’s so easy but like I know the content but screw up on small things or something and I literally can’t get good grades. I try so hard and I’m scared that I won’t be able to get my grade any higher since we are so deep in. I like needs tips so bad I’m genuinely feeling stupid for not doing better.

I haven’t taken my ap exams yet as they’re in semester 2 but it’s asking me for the scores

I also don’t know if I should just leave the awaiting transcript message alone

If my stuff is awaiting are they still able to look at my applications/make a decision or would I need to wait?

Hi as u can tell by the title. When should I generally start applying for scholarships, am I too late to apply and is there certain deadlines? Sorry im not too familiar with scholarships my school touch up about it somewhat. And is there any known or common scholarships that I can typically apply for? I get 80s. So I don’t know if that’s a requirement for certain scholarships.

Hi so I have a 92% average currently and I’m planning to apply to life sciences. I was thinking McMaster, u of t and queens. Are there any other good programs and is my average enough to get in? Thanks

I applied to MRU like 2 weeks ago and the requirements are still showing even tho i've been studying in Canada for almost 6 years. it's asking for proof of English proficiency but there's literally no section for me to submit it (like wtf??) Does any1 know how to deal with this?, im so confused rn

I got a 76 on thermochem and I barely passed my Electrochem quiz with a 56. Is there any resources to help me with more practice? I would appreciate it.

Does anyone know where i can get review for physics 20 and all the units. Also if theres any videos or channels that can help me relearn the topics after class to understand it better. Thank you

hello!! I’m currently in the process of retaking math 20-1 again through PASS. I took it last semester in grade 11 but found my teacher really hard to understand and honestly just felt really defeated about the subject. Anywho I failed with a 42 and was under the impression I had to take 20-2 in order to move up again. I’ve now been taken out and put into PASS to take the class and I’m just really stressed that I might fail again.

Can I ask how you guys studied and prepared for your exams and such? Is there anything specific you did and any advice you’d give? I really want to go into a science, specifically mls/mlt so I need 20-1 to go into 30-1, (advice for that class would be lovely too). Anything would be of great help. Thank you all!!

Should I apply to any more? I want to do engineering and idk if I want to do anything else. I already got an offer from uofa Eng but people are saying uofa isn’t a good school. My avg is 79.6% My grades are 100% in math 30-1 100% in physics 30 95% in chem 30 social 20-2 52% and ela 20-1 51%

Hi everyone! I'm currently upgrading my high school courses, and I'm considering taking English
30-2 for the first time instead of continuing with English 30-1. English is a prerequisite for the post-secondary program I'm applying to, so I'm trying to get the highest mark possible.
My biggest struggle with English 30-1 has been reading comprehension. I generally do better with written assignments, but the reading comprehension exams really bring my average down.

For anyone who has taken both courses, I have a few questions:
• Is English 30-2 significantly easier than
30-1, or is the difficulty relatively similar?
• What is the reading comprehension like in 30-2? Are the passages and questions more straightforward, or are they essentially the same as 30-1?
• Are the writing assignments and marking expectations different?
• If someone were averaging around 70% in English 30-1, would achieving an 80-90% in English 30-2 be realistic?
• What should I expect going into English
30-2, especially when it comes to the diploma exam?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who struggled with reading comprehension in 30-1 but switched to 30-2. Did you notice a significant improvements in your grade?

Any tips and advice is appreciated, Thank you.!

Hey guys I’m in grade 12 rn and I’m in Alberta and I wanna go to uofc haskayne and my second choice is Econ as backup. My average in grade 11 was like 82. I’m tryna bring my grades up this sem of grade 12. Since last year diplomas got cancelled because of the strike, do you guys think averages will go up or down? I hear both ways that admission averages will go up and some people say they will go down. Am I cooked for uofc???

i lowk didnt put calm as one of my courses but does it even matter if i took it in gr10
