\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a student attending high school in Ontario, most universities look at the “Top 6” 4U\/M courses specifically but do they look at your final grade 11 marks as well right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, from what I’ve heard from my friends our school doesn’t give a lot of information on the application process. What happens, you submit an online application to the universities of choice sometime before mid-January and the school takes care of sending grades to OUAC which sends them to the universities? Students in Ontario don’t need to self-report their grades or worry about submitting grades on deadline right? If you could that up that’d be great, I’ve looked around on uoft.ca and a few other sites and I’m sort of confused about it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lastly, in grade 12 I’m thinking of taking just 6 courses (five being 4U level and the last being 4M) and taking two spares so I have more time to concentrate on the core courses and less of a course load. Would this effect my application negatively at all, only taking a total of 6 grade 12 courses?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sorry for rambling on, thanks in advance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somehow, I seem to have missed your email amidst the heaps of admission questions i’m receiving lately. Don’t take it personally, k?<\/p>\n

So here goes- yeah, the university looks at your grade 11 final marks, grade 12 mid-terms and whatever grade 12 final marks are there. If all that’s good, you’ll be sent a conditional offer, which means you’re basically in, but that could change with your final marks. So don’t screw it up!<\/p>\n

Indeed, students in Ontario don’t have to worry about manually sending in their grades. In fact, on the OUAC website there supposedly is a button that says “please have my high school send uoft my grades” or something of that fashion.<\/p>\n

The only thing that’s risky in you taking only 6 M\/U courses is that if you fail one of them, there isn’t any backup for you. The university looks at the best <\/strong>grade 12 M\/U courses. If you feel that taking fewer courses will get you better grades, that’s your call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
