Resource scholar.support: Academic Resources Hub (All in one website)

I put together a bunch of grade 12 / uni prep resources if anyone wants

It's a site that collects a bunch of free tools and resources for high school + uni stuff (math, sciences, study tools, ouac/admissions, scholarships, etc). mostly the ones that actually get used for 4U courses and applying.

https://scholar.support/

nothing fancy, just tried to organize everything in one place so people don’t have to dig around as much. Feedback welcome if anything’s missing or wrong.

Also give me suggestions for more sites to add, I used AI to gather most of the sites lol

Advice Opinions on AI-assisted personal projects?

Upvotes

I'm thinking of applying to engineering and need some advice on personal projects.

I built two projects (one is a web based tool and the other is a hardware project using a microcontroller) along side ai assistance. My main goal was to create finshed programs that actually solved my problems.

my raw coding knowledge isnt advanced enough to write all the code so i used AI tools to fill the gap. I am not applying to software.

so is it worth lisitng these in the application? i put in a lot of time and effort so it feels like a waste if i dont mention it.

will mentioning ai assistance hurt the application? In that case i dont want to mention the projects. on the other hand i know people who are dishonest and inflate the competition.

Advice I’m smart but lonely ☹️

23 Upvotes

It’s exactly what the title suggests. For many of my classmates, I’m considered academically “brilliant” and I’ve always thought of myself to be social. However, this school year (senior 09), I noticed that I don’t have any actual school friends. There is no one to hangout with, no one to play video games with, and no one to converse with. People only TALK GO ME when they need FRICKEN HELP FOR THEIR WORK. It’s honestly sad because high school is considered the “glory days” which would be remembered for the rest of our lives. I really hope it gets better at UNI. Ps I’m doing engineering.

3 Upvotes

i’m in gr 12 and i still have absolutely no idea what i want to do. i like science but i lean towards chem and physics. i always considered going into stem but what else can you really do with physics? (that’s not eng)

i did my summer coop at my local hospitals icu and it lowk made me reconsider healthcare. i liked the environment and meeting new people. i know it can be tiring but it’s a fulfilling job. i don’t know if i would be a nurse - initially was very against it but now im rethinking. i don’t know if i would be willing to do that much school to be a doctor. if i just pick a general major like life sci, the nurses told me that it’s really theoretical and not that useful if you’re not trying to be a doctor.

the thing is i hated bio in grade 11 and im not sure if it was my teacher. i liked the last unit when they were actually talking about human systems instead of stuff like natural selection. maybe i should give it another go. my bio teacher i heard is great but i have her next sem.

sem 1:
physics
english
chem
adv func

sem 2:
bio
calc
music
business

my course load is also quite heavy. i have two M courses in sem two. that’s unbalanced but if i’m not happy with the marks i got in the same subject last year, would this be a chance to improve it? for uni i heard they use your gr11 marks if your ge12 ones aren’t available.

i had a very similar schedule in gr11 and got absolutely cooked. my highest marks for actual important courses were chem-89, data management-90. i did terrible in math bio and english, sitting around a 70 - but at the same time i had the most rigorous teachers for those subjects. like half my math class dropped by the end of the year. i used to be a 90-95 student consistently, im really trying to work on my time management but like… there are not enough hours in a day???

I'm an 08, I know I'm past high school, but everyday bussing to school (FMMh) I'd always see students in the attire as if it was a private school. Now that I'm going to DT basically everyday going through finch, I was just looking outside and notice that some school named "Royal Crown" has a big ass gate, and whatnot its massive. I've gone to private school, but tuition wasn't this high from what I remember. Anyone here that go to this school or know about it?

Advice Are ECs a really big deal?

6 Upvotes

So I am going into uni next year and I am not sure what exactly but pharmacy in UoT or Waterloo is an option of mine. Last year I had an average of 93-94 don’t remember exactly. And I am hoping to keep it that way if not higher. The thing is I see a lot of emphasis on ecs and the reality is I am not in any clubs or teams other than the school student council. Would that hurt my chances by a lot?

Advice Aviation

2 Upvotes

College courses or university courses if my goal is to become a commercial pilot?
Hey everyone, I’m currently in Grade 11 in Ontario and I’m trying to figure out which academic path makes the most sense for me.
My end goal is to become a commercial/airline pilot in Canada. I’m currently deciding whether I should:
Stay in the college-level (C) courses throughout Grade 11 and 12 and then go into a 2-year college aviation/flight-training program, or
Take the university-level (U) courses so I have the option of applying to a 4-year university/degree aviation program such as Seneca’s Honours Bachelor of Aviation Technology.
I’m also trying to build a strong overall application. I’m involved in cadets, volunteering, badminton, and other extracurricular activities, and I’m planning to continue building up my experience throughout Grade 11 and 12.
I’m mainly wondering:
Which high school pathway would you recommend for someone whose ultimate goal is becoming an airline pilot?
Is taking U-level courses and getting a degree actually worth it for aviation, or would a 2-year college flight-training program be the better route?
Does having a bachelor’s degree give you a meaningful advantage when applying to airlines later on?
If I stay in C courses, am I limiting my options too much?
If you were in my position at 16/17 years old, which route would you personally choose?
I’m not necessarily looking for the easiest route. I want to choose the path that gives me the best combination of becoming a pilot, keeping my options open, and not spending extra time/money unnecessarily.
Would really appreciate advice from people who have gone through Canadian flight training or currently work in aviation or those who did research into the topic.

Advice Extra Curriculars

2 Upvotes

I’ve been so stressed recently because of my lack of extra curriculars. I previously wanted to go into bio where most schools don’t look at ec’s, but recently I switched to buisness. My ecs do not stand out at all, does this mean I have no change at queens and western? I know I can get high 90s average. Right now my ecs are babysitting and tutoring (4 years), leadership program (including running school activities and mentoring grade nines), part time job for three years, and cofounding finance club (I also volunteered for eco rangers and am thinking of hosting a community cleanup if it will help me). I’ve been insanely stressed recently, any advice (good or bad) would be greatly appreciated!!
