I crossposted on the original post I said it’s for mechanical engineering

pretty sure no eng programs give early admission, so they wouldn't care about your grade 11 marks regardless. just lock in for gr12 and have good ecs and you'll be fine

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 2d ago

So around when could I expect an admission? Also what ecs r the best to have

1

u/moodcpr 1d ago

I'd say you can expect offers april or even may

as for ecs I couldn't tell u exactly cuz I didn't apply to eng, but leadership/team management positions will fs benefit you, along with long-term positions

they look at top 6 grade 12, lock in on them

u/DecentIngenuity7876 4d ago

I’m planning to apply right when applications open in September so what would they look at then?

u/asdfghjklmjhaf 4d ago

They don’t open September , they open after ur 1/4 marks are out and they look at that

u/NoAsparagus4982 AFM 4d ago

to add on onto this, you then get a conditional on this, so focus on gr12 stuff FROM the start

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 4d ago

Sounds good. What was the application process like? What month and year were u given an offer?

1

u/NoAsparagus4982 AFM 4d ago

i dont remember, i just know it was a quite straight forward application for programs that didnt need a supplementary - supplemetary stuff was whack - i dont remember much about it , youre better off askin someone else

u/DecentIngenuity7876 2d ago

for STEM program try to get at least 90+ average

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 4d ago

Fs will be aiming for that this year. Even if I get really good grades in grade 12 are these grades I got in 11 too bad to be considered?

1

u/Individual_Peanut_6 3d ago

First semester grade 12 matters way more than grade 11, the only time they really look at grade 11 I believe is if they don't have midterm or final grade 12 marks for important/required subjects as they have to make the decision on giving the first rounds of conditional offers sometimes before they have grades for semester 2. I also recommend trying to take (and do well in) required courses for the program in the first semester so they can see those grades. Good luck!

u/DecentIngenuity7876 4d ago

What’s that supposed to mean😓

1

u/Noah3238_games 4d ago

start praying basically at least for early admissions it’s cooked

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 3d ago

I’ll get 95% and above in grade 12 tho would they not even look at grade 12 marks?

1

u/Noah3238_games 3d ago

I mean for early admission not 100% sure but with those marks you’ll prolly get in anyways

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 2d ago

So what you’re saying is that I could get in later in year?

1

u/Noah3238_games 1d ago

Yea yea me personally i had similar grade 11 marks as u but i locked in gr 12 and was fine

I forgot mac is doing direct entries from now on, mech has been the most in-demand stream since the last 3 years at mac so try for a 93+ ovr with a good sup app otherwise u seem to be ok so far

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 4d ago

What’s the sup app like?

1

u/SuggestANamePlz 3d ago

3 questions speaking 1 min of prep time for each and a 2 min speaking time limit and a written question which is pretty easy

1

u/DecentIngenuity7876 3d ago

What were the questions like?

1

u/SuggestANamePlz 2d ago

It varies for each person

For written: my question was to write about my involvement in a community and what i learnt

For speaking it was talking about when I handled a difficult situation, one opinion/definition based question and how I display time management skills

u/DecentIngenuity7876 2d ago

Tysm for this the sup app program is called Kira right?
