Don’t Forget the “U”

Hey, my name is mo, and I am a canadian thats been living in the states for a while and your sit has helped? me out alot in my search for info about u of t. I am currently going into grade 12, and was wondering if you think my marks are competetive for admission. I have looked at the averages for different colleges and programs and saw that the averages are usually around the upper 80’s. how ever at my school the average isnt recorded. if its a 90+ its a 4, an 80+ a 3 and so on. but Im mainly in honors or AP courses and in those classes its weighted so a 90 is a 4.5, 80 is 3.5 and so on. My gpa is a 3.5 weighted and a 3.25 unweighted. Do you think im competetive for the life sciences program? ( if it matters i have a 33 on the ACT, which is around a 2200 on the sat). Thanks!

Well, we don?t go by SATs here, so I have no idea what is good or bad except from the film Orange County featuring Tom Hanks? son ? so I?m just not going to look at that number.

The university will have ways to look at your grades in relation to what they?d be comparative to in Canada. OUAC105 will take care of it for you.? Your school marks are competitive, but don?t seem to be as good as your SAT mark ? and again, we don?t look at SAT or ACT scores (and I checked and your marks I can see are well above average) so your school marks are what will weigh you in your final high school year.? They seem competitive enough, but it all depends on what the university is looking for in next year?s applicant pool.? I would aim to maintain high 80?s.

And Mo, start learning to spell things like honours with a U if you?re planning on coming to Canada.? The Queen is on our currency so we respect her English ways ? if you know what I?m saying, neighbour.
