Brain, what do you want to do tonight? The same thing we do every night, Pinky?try to take over the world!

Evidently, the subject was rhetorical. Of course I’ll become the most powerful dictator known to man at somepoint. Moving on,

I was wondering how big of an impact my midterm grades have when I apply in mid-november. I know that they will look at my overall academic standing and my grade 11 marks, but how do they compare midterm and first semester finals? I am going to apply to Life Sci (I know, I’ve already got the university slang down pat :D) which requires an average somewhere in the neighbourhood of 83-86%. However, my midterm average will only be about 80%, though my final first semester average will be in and around 85, due to my tendancies to beat exams/summatives/tests senseless… In a good way. I’m also applying to residence which means the greedy, bald men in fine Italian suits (The ones who sit in dark bourgeious offices and stroke their chins whilst sifting through applications, of course) will undoubtedly smack their lips in anticipation of another $10,000, perhaps allowing their beady little eyes to linger on my application a few seconds longer.

Essentially, How big of an impact do my midterm grades have versus my finals and what kind of influence do residency applications have on the decision making process of my acceptance. All that, and a bag of chips.

Warmest Regards,

The future of Mankind.

Hi there world dominator,

The image of you sitting in a chair stroking a cat came to mind when i read your question, so here it is TOP 5 WORLD DOMINATORS
in no particular order:
1.? Dr. Claw (Inspector Gadget)

” I’ll get you next time, Gadget! “

2. Dr. Evil (Austin Powers)

“You’re not quite evil enough. You’re semi-evil. You’re quasi-evil. You’re the margarine of evil. You’re the Diet Coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough.”

3. Stewie Griffin (Family Guy)

“There’s always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it’s not so much that I want to kill her, it’s just, I want her not to be alive anymore”

4. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter)

“Do not say the Dark Lord’s name!”

5. Darth Vader (Star Wars)

“You don’t know the power of the dark side!”

Maybe one day, highschool dominator you will replace one of these great villians, but for now I will answer your question:

First of all, admittance to the University of Toronto is considered separately from your desire for residence. Once you’ve receive your offer of admission, you will then be considered for residence. Don’t fret, all first year students are guaranteed a spot in residence (make sure you check off your interest in residence on OUAC).

This might sound incredibly cheesy, but don’t worry about your midterm marks if you’ve already taken them and strive for the best final and 2nd semester marks you can manage. The terrible thing about applying to university is that they can’t give you a specific cut off grade average for admission. Meaning your best bet is to work it hard for your last year of highschool and get the most bad-ass grades you can get and be the competition to beat, rather than having to beat the competition.

Check out this site: it breaks down, month by month, what you should be expecting with the application process and what grades will be considered when. The marks that are considered for early admission and regular admission are different. This site is pretty wicked too.

Tender thoughts,
Aska

p.s might I suggest a field of study that allows you to use your vast dialect

p.p.s there’s a website for Nudist World Domination … intriguing
