So, I stumbled across this website while Googling (Google is your best friend…sometimes) and found the answers to my questions. Well, most of them anyway. There is just one thing I want to clarify. I applied to the Humanities Program at UofT. The Viewbook says that the university pays particular attention to my English marks. Now, I ended up with an 82 in the course (bear with me, I know you don’t like to hear about marks), and with my teacher that is about the best mark ever (according to my guidence councilor). With a different teacher, I could have ended up with a 90. So, what are my chances? Is 82 considered scratch-my-eyes-out horrible or passable? I know that it isn’t spectacular, so I’m not even going to go there. I have exhausted all possible resources available to me. So, please help me out. Before I hemorrhage out of sheer anxiety.
Thanks much.
Cheers.
Don’t you just hate it when this one &^#@ of teacher screws up your prospects of becoming a respectable member of the bourgeoisie??
I can’t tell you if you’ll get in or not (and by the way I appreciate you noticing my disdain for grade submission. Guess my endless ranting had some effect), but if your other 5 M/U courses make up an agreeable average, your 82 shouldn’t be an obstacle. Does that sort of answer it?

82 is a great mark if you ask me. I really doubt you have much to worry about.

Well, thank you for the answer. It did help.
P.S. Jack Bauer, I go to a specialized program, where a 82 is about the same as a 50. So basically, I had 200 people telling me I was a failure in life. I know. Life is hard, in the world I live in.
