Getting into Universities in Toronto

Thanks so much!! Hoping to get a response.

If I were you, I would be very concerned to make sure that I was academically prepared for university in all relevant areas, and I would be especially concerned about that 60% in English, even if I already had an acceptance letter from somewhere. Based on what what you've written about your experiences in English class, I would definitely want to improve my reading and writing skills significantly before spending a lot of money and time trying for a university degree. No matter what courses you take, you'll be reading something and writing something, and if you end up with a degree and a job that makes good use of that degree, you can be certain that it will involve still more reading and writing. But... my advice is free, and it's your life/education.

I'm a grade twelve student in Alberta, graduating at the end of June. However, my family is moving to Toronto soon so I would have to do my post-secondary there. I'm on the edge of English and it's been pretty tough (especially essays and reading comp.) for me so I don't know if my marks on other courses are enough to bring up my overall average. I love doing sciences and it's been great for me. I'm hoping to get into medical field so probably BSc in any sciences that could possibly lead me to either Dentistry, Pharmacy or Medicine.
My grades are:
- English 30-1 (I believe it is ENG4U in Ontario): 60%
- Math 30-1 (MHF4U): 71%
- Biology 30: 86%
- Chemistry 30: 78%
- Science 30 (I think it's SES4U): 89%

Based on my grade would I be better off doing Academic Upgrading or will I be fine applying to Universities? If yes, what university do you recommend for me? If not, what path would you recommend for me to take?

Thanks so much!! Hoping to get a response.

The other option if you really want to graduate high school is going to go community college and doing a 2 or 3 year diploma program, then going to University. The latter option is much harder to do but the former option is easier.
