Hey! I read a post about a failing mark you have\u00a0<\/span>answered<\/span>\u00a0but I still wanted to ask you myself because my situation is slightly different. I applied to Life Sci at St. George, Life Sci (Health Sci Stream) at Scarborough, and Psych and Brain Studies at Mississauga. So far, I have been admitted to Mississauga. The average of grade 11 marks was\u00a0<\/span>88.2,<\/span>\u00a0of all\u00a0<\/span>grade<\/span>\u00a012 marks sent in November was 82.0, but the average for top 6 was 89.8. The issue is that I failed\u00a0<\/span>religion,<\/span>\u00a0it is neither a pre-requisite nor my top 6. 35 was written as my midterm mark on OUAC but now it will show 35 as a final mark and that I failed the course. My question is will all three programs send me an automatic rejection letter, even though it is not a pre-requisite and my other marks are all in the 90s? I mean, Mississauga accepted me even with the 35 as my midterm, so I want to assume they\u00a0<\/span>won’t<\/span>\u00a0care too, too much? If I retake it and I pass with mid 80s, will they consider my second attempt? Thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n

heyyo,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ooo\u00a0i\u00a0love that you did your research!\u00a0i\u00a0always\u00a0love\u00a0an aska archivist.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

you’re\u00a0right that\u00a0uoft\u00a0will only consider your top six\u00a0in\u00a0your average<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0with that including any required\u00a0prereqs\u00a0for your program.\u00a0as\u00a0you said, religion would be…\u00a0neither of those for you.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

i\u00a0<\/span>already\u00a0<\/span><\/i>think it wouldn\u2019t really be a problem,\u00a0but the fact that you\u2019ve already gotten into\u00a0utm\u00a0is a really\u00a0really\u00a0good sign!\u00a0(congrats, btw!)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

you won’t get a rejection from a program you\u2019ve already been accepted to, unless that admission was conditional, which I’m assuming it wasn\u2019t. if the program would\u2019ve autorejected you for failing a course, they wouldn\u2019t have sent out an admission knowing your midterm was a 35.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

soooo from here on out,\u00a0let\u2019s\u00a0just pretend nothing happened with that course. religion who?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

atp\u00a0retaking the course would mean doing it this summer (unless your school has a weird semester system).\u00a0no\u00a0point in doing that since\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0already have gotten your admission decision by then\u00a0<\/span>(it\u2019ll be may by the latest)<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

b<\/span>est\u00a0of luck with your last sem of high school and i hope you get all the admissions your heart\u00a0desires!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

cheers,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
