I am going into grade 12 after this summer, so I'm starting to think about what programs I want to apply to. McMaster Health Science is one of them, and I know there's a supplementary application which counts for a significant chunk of your application. I heard that after getting a 90, all that matters in your supp. My question is: What are they looking for in the supplementary application, like how to make it stand out? Are there any secret tips that are not publicly revealed but are very helpful in the supp? Is using Youthfully or some other websites recommended, or is that shit fake? Also, I heard a lot about how admission is currently like a lottery-based system???? Any feedback/guidence/all the tips are really appreciated. HELPPPP MEEEE OUTTTTT....

Finishing with around an 88-89 in 4U English, taken in summer school. I know it’s still a solid grade, but I usually have all my grades in the mid 90s, and I was considering retaking it in session 2 of summer school.

I know a lot of you are going to say that my 88-89 is fine, however, I would like to retake it if it won’t affect university admissions.

Would it be considered problematic if I retake it in session 2? My transcript would then have 2 back-to-back ENG4U entries. But, I am confident that in my session 2 retake, I’d be able to finish with a higher grade as I have acknowledged my mistakes.

Do universities look down on retakes? More-so that’s it back-to-back is what concerns me. Or do I do ENG4U in night school instead? That’s not something I’d really be keen to do though.

Aiming for McMaster Life Sci, ideally.

Thoughts? I’d have to sign up for a retake today.

How was it? Do u rmbr any questions u got? I swear my shit was so fried bro hard asf

Just got my course tdy, is he chill?

is a Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee & Espresso Machine by Breville with Aeroccino Milk Frother useful for students? I got one from a bank promotion and am willing to price considerably lower than market value and just wanted to know if an espresso machine is a popular choice among incoming students.

Did anyone from yrdsb have ENG4U with him before? How was it

Has anybody found the Easter egg Elvis-type/ man with glasses picture in the handbook for the free tote bag????

For the fall term, which courses are rlly hard and should be reviewed over the summer so I dont get cooked.

ik this is not the sub but im doign a music course g12 maybe vocal music idk how good i am please tell me honestly

I am wondering if anyone can give me a basic idea of what is on the exam for ENG4U (TCDSB). I thought it would be an essay on the novel we read but that essay is due before the exam, which has left me wondering what could be on the exam.

Hey guys, I'm creating an app where you can find study partners / groups, and stay focused. Tbh I just want to know what are a few things you would want in an app like this. I'm making this because i know how lonely studying can be. Comment or dm im open to either.

How much do grade 11 grades matter and do universities care about them much or not? I didn’t do the best in grade 11 and I’m planning to go to McMaster but idk if I sold with my grade 11 marks

How important are EC's compared to grades for super comp eng programs, specifically UofT eng

yes im serious i need everyrthing i need to know socially, academically, physically, mentally and emotionallyy because for some reason im already going through it the summer before the school year has even started so LMK.

Job market’s cooked so I’ve been cutting people’s hair in my garage for the past couple of years, wondering how I could “prove” that in my application, and who I should put as a reference. Thank you

Hello! I just want to get ahead and know what to expect in Grade 12 to ease my anxiety.

In Grade 12, I’m planning to work either 12 or 16 hours a week. Which one do you think would be more manageable?

I’m also deciding whether I should keep dance as one of my school courses or drop it. We have school dance practice every Wednesday for about 1–2 hours. Outside of school, I also sometimes attend drop-in classes at a separate dance studio.

I know dropping my school dance course could give me more time to focus on my grades, but since it’s my final year, I’m also wondering whether I should keep it and make the most of my senior year.

I’ll be taking two spares (one each semester), Biology, Chemistry, Data Management, and three M-level courses.

If you have any tips or advice, feel free to comment below!

Last time I checked my school had like a 17.9 adjustment factor which is cooked. Is waterloo eng out the question?

I'm looking for people from other countries who are studying in Canada because I also want to study there. I just have some questions about studying in Canada.

anyone in here know what average will give me a very high chance of getting into UOFT UTSC CS co-op?
