capital letters for a capital issue

SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A 90 AVERAGE FOR U OF T ST GEORGE HUMANITIES IS THIS TRUE!? I HAVE 83 RIGHT NOW SOS

???????????????

hey there,

is that ‘sos’ like SOS on a boat?? are you at sea and need assistance?? was your last, dying, all-capitals request a desperate inquiry to aska about high school averages?????

that’s hardcore, man. that’s super hardcore.

anyway, i don’t know who you were talking to, but that’s not true. there’s no mark you ‘need’ because?there is no exact, cut-off mark, ever. every year, the mark you need to get in depends on your competition, i.e. the other people applying.

there is an ‘anticipated grade range‘ for incoming students, and for Fall 2014, that range?is “low 80s” for the humanities. now, i’m no mathematician, but if my calculations are correct, an 83% average is…wait, just gimme a second…yes! it’s in the low 80s.

that’s not to say that you’re guaranteed an offer. like i said, it all depends on how well your peers do and a lot of other factors only admissions know about. however, you’re not out of the running. so you can drop the capitals now. breathe. whew. feels good, right?

cheers,

aska
