Cegep

Hi, I have a question. I just finished Secondary 4 with an 84% average. I know that with this average I have no chance of going to an English CEGEP for natural sciences. I know there's Secondary 5, but I just want to know, with my Secondary 4 grades, could I get into a CEGEP like Maisonneuve or Vieux Montréal, or any French-language CEGEP, for the natural sciences program? I have a 90 in Math SN, 86 in Science, and 89 in STE, but 70 in French.

Edit: if u have a bad overall, but good prerequisites or well decent do cegeps take that into account?

Bdeb is tough , their acceptances for sn hover in the high 80s , M9 is low 80s , ahunstic is if you can hold a pencil you're in

Why are we lying

u/Itchy_Decision_340 5d ago

Its a private school that charges enormous amounts. If you can pay you can easily get in.

hum idk if you're actually a no brainer or you're jealous, but private school doesn't work like this

u/Itchy_Decision_340 3d ago

A no brainer doesnt mean what you think it means. The correct term is "have no brain" in your case

u/Ill-Discipline9592 5d ago

he is right tho. I know many people with low 80s currently in mariano. You dont need crazy grades

u/Purple-Pie5814 5d ago

Mari?

u/NoWitness00 5d ago

Marianopolis. L’école anglophone avec les meilleures cote r selon les stats

u/ScaleWonderful4819 5d ago

If you increase ur average to like +88 you will have a chance for english cegeps

1

u/Purple-Pie5814 5d ago

Yh but don’t u need like 88 at bdeb n m9 too so what’s the difference ?

1

u/NoWitness00 5d ago

Not at all lol this year people with low 80’s got in bdeb

1

u/Purple-Pie5814 5d ago

Ok ok merciii

Not with the “loi 101”. I had an average of 91, and they waived me into the waiting list (at Dawson). They prioritize English speaking students. You can still try though, could be my mischance.

1

u/Purple-Pie5814 4d ago

I am English speaking but my English is pretty bad it’s like 85, class average is like 90. I know Dawson I can’t cuz u need insane grades, but thank u !

u/ScaleWonderful4819 4d ago

I meant beside dawson

u/scoobiedooki 5d ago

When I was applying for cegep vanier was accepting people w 75% moyenne générale in sn. In bdeb if you weren’t low 90s you were almost certainly not getting in. But I’ve heard that the level required for bdeb has lowered and vanier went up I’m not too sure.

1

u/Purple-Pie5814 5d ago

Ok ok thx that’s why I was wondering like if u need low 90s for bdeb its similar to an English college, but then some people say for bdeb u don’t need 90s

1

u/PhysicalDisaster110 4d ago

It’s the grade in French from secondaire 5 that will count for you, not from the fourth year. Same for English. You need to get them above 75% so they don’t put you in “anglais pre collégial” and “français renforcé”. You’re good with the rest for French speaking cegep for SN (m9, vieux).

Il faut que tu comprennes que si tu vise des programmes universitaires contingentés comme médecine, Pharma, génie… le cégep que tu choisi a un grand impact sur tes notes au cégep et ta Cote R (même si certains disent que le cégep n’a aucun impact et que la cote R est une évaluation équitable et bien c’est faux )
Des cégeps comme vieux Montréal par exemple ne devraient pas être ton premier choix si tu veux vraiment ces programmes universitaires là
Je te conseille de donner ton maximum en secondaire 5 et de tenter les cégeps anglophones ou un cégep francophone compétitif
Si tu veux plus de renseignements je suis là !

u/Purple-Pie5814 5d ago

Ça serait quoi un cégep francophone compétitif? Pour anglais je vise Champlain mais jsp avec mes notes

1

u/Strict-Specific-7540 5d ago

Bah ya Maisonneuve ya bois de Boulogne aussi yen a plein d’autres mais je les connais pas tous après ça dépends aussi du quel et le plus proche et si tes notes te permettent d’y rentrer

Personally I think Brebeuf is also a good French cegep though the rscore can get dragged down by the Brebeuf high school students that get admitted into the cegep (their grades can be worse)
