----------------------------------- Dark Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:47 pm Question about marks ----------------------------------- How much do grade 11 marks matter for admission decisions? Is it just for early admissions? Or if another student has similar marks in grade 12 but superior grade 11 marks would he/she get the offer? Assuming things like supplementary application forms and AIFs are omitted...how would these marks do me for Waterloo, Ryerson, and U of T Scarborough? I have learned that admission cut offs don't really mean much... http://i43.tinypic.com/2niqqtx.jpg edit: I'm aware of my horrible advanced functions mark, I'm getting 94% in calc and will probably end with an 85 or so, that 76 will be my lowest mark yh I didn't apply myself in grade 11 aha :vi: ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:53 pm RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- I was allways told that grade 11 marks where mostly for early admissions and in the case where you are close to the cut off with your grade 12 marks. However universitys do get both the grade 11 and 12 marks and it is totaly up to them how they use them and witch grade 11 clases they count and how many. P.S. It's nice that your high school has your grades on line (unless that is the new uni application interface), most don't put the effort into there website or online services. ----------------------------------- BigBear Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:58 pm RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- I thought grade 11 marks were like grade 9 or 10 then can see them but don't really matter. Can they only see grade 11 and grade 12? ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Mar 03, 2009 9:00 pm RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- do you even have enough 4U courses to apply? ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Mar 03, 2009 9:03 pm Re: RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- Can they only see grade 11 and grade 12? When i applied that is what i was told and what the application showed (it only listed grade 11 and 12 marks). ----------------------------------- Dark Tue Mar 03, 2009 9:06 pm Re: RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- I was allways told that grade 11 marks where mostly for early admissions and in the case where you are close to the cut off with your grade 12 marks.

Thanks, and that is what the OUAC form 101 marks look like, it's not my high school :wink: do you even have enough 4U courses to apply? ENG4U English SBI4U Biology MHF4U Advanced Functions MCV4U Calculus and Vectors + 3M courses including ICS4M comp sci. Will only be using that and Environmental Management CGR4M for my top 6 So yea, you need 3 4U courses for Waterloo plus ICS4M or one other U course, I have that (bio) AND ICS4M so I have the pre reqs lol ----------------------------------- jcollins1991 Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:50 pm Re: RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- I thought grade 11 marks were like grade 9 or 10 then can see them but don't really matter. Can they only see grade 11 and grade 12? universities are given full access to your grade 11 and grade 12 marks, but they cannot see your grade 9 or 10 marks at all... i don't remember exactly where i read that but i think it only started in the last 10-15 years... ----------------------------------- jernst Wed Mar 04, 2009 4:15 pm Re: Question about marks ----------------------------------- Well its been around since I graduated high school, that was hrmm,....2003ish? So at least 6 years ago. :P ----------------------------------- jcollins1991 Wed Mar 04, 2009 5:18 pm Re: Question about marks ----------------------------------- also, for each school theres a date each semester before which any courses you drop WILL NOT be shown in information sent to universities, and any courses dropped after that day have to be sent... full disclosures stufff.... just thought i'd add this since i've noticed theres some gr 10 and 11's here that might benefit from knowing this... ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Wed Mar 04, 2009 5:29 pm RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- anyone have an idea what a good average would be if one was hopeful of getting early acceptance to Waterloo? ;) I'm sure high scores on the CCC and the Euclid and Open math contests helps too ----------------------------------- mono-1-rulz Sat Mar 07, 2009 12:48 pm RE:Question about marks ----------------------------------- I am in grade 11 now......when should I apply for early acceptance??and wht kind of marks are needed i grd 11 to get in eraly acceptance?? ----------------------------------- nike52 Sat Mar 07, 2009 10:25 pm Re: Question about marks ----------------------------------- when you're in gr 12, you can start applying around dec/jan I believe, then getting early acceptance as early as feb from what i've seen from others, you'll need around 90's in gr 11 & 12
