Grade 12's applying this year...

[EAMAY]

I am working towards a 90 avg:
All Gr 12 U Level Classes:
Physics: 91
Chemistry: 96
Biology: 91
Advanced Functions: 93
Calculus: This semester
Earth & Space: This Semester
English: 85

-And those were all IB taught classes too (except physics)
- Physics i took during summer school, but i got a 70 the first time (hardest teacher ever) and so i retook it and got a 91 but waterloo will drop off a percent from my avg for that, so its like i got 85 in it...so now i just need a 90 in my calc class....or i can substitute my bio with E&S science if that turns out to be a higher mark

I applied for Chemical/Civil Engineering to Waterloo Queens and Windsor

I was accepted into Windsor in Jan, and I just finished the Waterloo AIF last weekend, and havent heard anything from Waterloo or Queens-not worried though

Are you sure about this??? I havent read that anywhere, can anybody confirm this?

yes they do take off 1 percent of your overall average

Yes they do. It ends up being a 6% decrease on your retaken course.

Any input on gr 12 courses taken in a previous year other than your current year courses? Are these courses previously taken considered the same way when calculating your final admission average?

Hiya, I am a gr 12 student, and, like countless others, am trying to get into the health sciences program at Mcmaster. Firstly, does Mac take pre-requisites into consideration for admission? Second, do you think I have a chance with the following marks (some are projected)?

Religion (catholic school) - 95
Philosophy - 97
Bio (HARD teacher) - 87
Chem - 93
History - 97
Data - 95
English - 93

What about ECs and volunteering? I haven't done too much of either.




Ok, here is some more info. that I could'nt add because I was running late for class.

Volunteering - the required 40 hours at my previous (elementary) school, planted trees a couple of days with Evergreen, volunteered at the Scott Mission homeless shelter a few days, and a bunch of other small random things (student leader supervising a gr.9 ecology trip, helped with gr.8 orientation, school photo days, etc.)

EC - took part in CSUNA (catholic schools united nations assembly) this year, participated in Thinkfast (all day fast to raise hunger awareness), gr.10 boys soccer team, volleyball team gr 9. Havent joined any clubs or anything, im a lazy kid...

Other: 2 out of 3 years highest average in the grade (gr 9 and gr 11). honour roll since elementary. numerous other subject awards (highest marks in the subject).

Umm...thats about all i can think of right now, ill add more when i remember


Questions:
data management was only offered first semester at my school, so i cant take it second semester. the only option i have is to take it in night school next semester...will this hurt my chances of getting accepted? will Mcmaster even receive my midterm night school mark, because without it, i wont have a math credit.

Every school take the pre-requisites into consideration, as a part of your "top 6" (although the pre-requisites may not necessarily be your top marks). Anyway, I'd say you have a very good chance of getting into any problem with those marks, provided that the pre-requisites are fulfilled.

You have good chances with getting into HS at mac.

However, I knew friends that did not get into HS with really high averages.. and some that got in with just 90.. so a bit of luck is needed. I'd say you should get some ECs to improve your application. Good luck

Do you guys think I'll be able to get into wilfrid laurier or western for BA in kinesiology?
I'm an average student, but I messed up and am only getting 60% in bio at mid term.
I think (hope) my marks will look something like:
85-90 Computer Science
85 Mixed media
85 Data management (hard/bad teacher but a nice guy)
70 Biology

Next sem:
bad (60ish?) in U level religion unless I can get a different teacher
85 Exercise Science
75-80 English
85-90 Communications technology
