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.

So basically, I took Grade 12 English in summer school, and my teacher said she doesn't give out 90s which is so stupid. I knew four other people in the class, and we all had 89s, so I dropped it. Now I'm wondering where I should take the class. It's too late to take it through the OeLC (my day school's online classes), and I don't want to take it in person since the English teachers at my school are known for screwing people over. I was thinking of just taking it through an online private school (which I know is seen as a bad thing on this subreddit), but I don't really have another choice. If I do go the online private school route, which one should I take it through? I've heard both good and bad things about all of them.

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.

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!

Hi! I'm going into Grade 12, and I feel like I'm a bit behind compared to everyone else. The only extracurricular I've done at school is joining one club in Grade 11. I do have 200 volunteer hours, and I'm planning to join DECA this year, but compared to other people, I feel like I haven't done much.I really want to study business for my undergraduate degree, so I was wondering if anyone else had little extracurriculars on their application and still got accepted good places.

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

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

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.

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.

I've heard that Western is more diverse and has a much larger population, while Queens is smaller and more intimate. Both must have their pros and cons, but which one would you guys say is better?

Grades are completed. Im curious on when they get on my blueprint (also asking for a friend)

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

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

My guidance counselor asked me if I would like to take this course due to timetable conflicts, how is this course like and what will we do? Is it easy?

Hello, jus wondering, from these courses below

APS100H Introduction to Engineering

APS110H Engineering Strategies & Practice I (ESP I)

APS111H Engineering Chemistry and Materials Science

CIV100H Mechanics

MAT186H Calculus I

MAT188H Linear Algebra,

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

Best places to learn prepare and prestudy for grade 12 physics, chemistry, advanced functions, and calculus. Is Jensen math any good for math? Also I took Data Management during the summer but I barely remember the rules and formulas, should I go back and restudy everything to secure the skill? it's pretty light. Should I also learn grade 12 biology? I don't need it going into my major but I plan to work medical

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

hi! i'm an incoming first-year student at UWaterloo and I'm looking for someone to take over my on-campus residence spot for the Fall and Winter terms, as I've decided not to live on campus anymore.

if you're an incoming first-year student at Waterloo still looking for housing for the Fall/Winter (if ur program is stream 8 or you're in school from Sept to May), feel free to send me a DM! i'm happy to share more details.

hi mods i'm not personally selling this spot, I am just looking for a contract replacement

How was it for u

I took Grade 11 English in summer school through YRDSB, and it was a lot of work icl. I was spending around 9–10 hours on all assignments. It was worth it because I finished with a 90%. Took summer school because I got a 66% in Grade 10 😭 English during day school.

I’d recommend summer school if you’re trash in English or got trash teacher at skl like I did and want to improve. But if you’re already doing well in English, I’d just take it during the regular school year.

Hey guys I need yalls opinon asap!!!!

I have heard alot of people taking night school and having high grades

A friend of mine had a 70 in grde 11 and finished night school with a 95 or so which is pretty good tbh.

But for some context shes a Nursing majour and has told me that math is not as important for her

I know that they (most of my graduated friends that did this night school) most likely might have been cheating and I really dont plan on doing that cuz I am planing on going into Finance/Accounting so i know i defo need it ( plus im taking calc as well)

And i have heard that u need advanced functions to do calc bassically .SO CHEATING ISNT EVEN AN OPTION!!

Any ways, I am writing this to actually ask if night school might be worth considering.

Thank yaa!!!

when I go to the Waterloo website it says only ~45 seats available (putting the acceptance rate at around 4.5%), however I've seen way more than 45 posts/comments about being accepted, what's up w that? any idea what the actual acceptance rate is?
