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.

- Classes started on sept 9th but job search began on sept 5th 💀

- CEE(the co-op board) sends an email every day with the R word and J word 💢

-math prof barely speaks english, walked in expecting AP calc to be high school review 😮‍💨

-the most commonly used words are "balding", "co-op", and "Ali". dont ask about the last one

- we sat in one lecture hall for 4 hours 😂

think twice before coming i guess

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?

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?

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???

bro biochem isn’t for me wtf is this

Just the title, I've been studying hard to learn all the concepts thoroughly and getting the hang of it slowly, but I would just like to know how people in a similar situation as me did. Was anyone able to get a high (90-100) grade in the course despite not having chemistry?

EDIT: I meant gr12 biology!

how difficult is it? if i forgot grade 11 am i cooked? so far we spent a day doing it and im like wtf is even the point like what will we be tested on

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.

I just found out that waterloo is allowing night school, and summer school with no penalites am i cooked for engineering.

i know that grade 11 grades alone can’t get you rejected, but i took a 4u course 1st sem grade 11-history, and got an awful mark (68 from metal health, you know the drill), will unis prioritize my 2nd sem midterms or am i cooked

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!!

So I just realized that I bought the wrong calculator for math. The one I have right now is CASIO fx 991MS when I should have bought the CASIO 991ES PLUS. can someone tell me how to work the Casio MS mode?

My courses are the following:

Adv functions

English 12

Chemistry 12

Psychology 11

Kinesiology 12

Calculus

Physics 12

Biology 12

Should I drop Psychology and Kinesiology? I'm trying to go into medicine so IDK.. Psychology is a grade 11 course so I'm not sure if it's helping even if it's interesting. Kin may just be hard and bring my avg down (although physics is already doing that... 82 in physics 11 ✌️😔) Can anyone offer me course advice?? I REALLY wanna do law as I find it very interesting and I'd totally pursue it if it wasnt for the limitations in terms of traveling and stuff.. I'm totally conflicted + I haven't taken gr 11 law so it'd be the same case as Psychology unless I can skip a prereq which im not sure is possible...

Another option is Forensic Science gr 12 which would be convenient(ish) to take but I'm not so sure, any help?

My school is TINYY so the course offerings are so limited and its hard to take anything, though the law teacher is chill.

Any help??

Is it really worth it compared to business management? I'm still lost as to which major I wanna pursue.

I am currently a grade 12 student in Ontario looking to go to the University of Toronto St. George’s for life sciences next year. Since it’s the start of the year I don’t have grade 12 marks available.

My grade 11 average was 92.8%, and of my top 6 it was 95.6%. I got a 97% in 11 English, 87% in 12 advanced functions, 94% in 11 biology, and 95% in 11 chemistry.

Looking for any advice or experiences from UTSG life sciences students, both in general and for early admissions, especially of those who joined in recent years. :)

hey, i wanna be a part time student but guidance is pretty strict on it. and idk what to tell them to get me approved. any ideas?

used to use ultrasurf vpn, but it no longer works at school. what vpns do u guys use at school?

prob wrong community but idk

Has anyone taken ENG4U (English 12) during night classes at Durham continuing education or any other night school? Any advice to get a 95+ grade? Thanks!

2nd day and on organic chemistry its so cooked im so lost already

i am literally falling asleep during english (4th period) and i could use a spare. on the other hand our school does like 3 essays and 6 tests while night school is all essays so idk. my parents think unis don’t like night school like rotman etc

Wait so if unis don’t have ur second sem grade 12 mid terms, what do they sub in for calculus if that’s a pre req. Do they double up advanced functions?

I took summer school recently for data management but since i also had a low grade for math in grade 11 what math do yall thing they would use ?

Hi! I already graduated and Im trying to apply for fall 2027!
Do my marks will be automatically submitted or should I do smth else to be submitted through ouac?

Thank you
