So I’m apply to U of T and they’ve been telling me to fill out this awards profile to be eligible for certain scholarships. The thing is, all these scholarships that it would make me eligible for require like a 90-95 average to be considered, which I’m sadly not going to get. So, is it worth my time to spend a few hours filling this thing out if I’m fairly certain I’m not going to get these scholarships? Will admissions look at me and see that I haven’t done it and think less of me? Will it affect my chances of getting in at all? Will the Leafs win the cup this year?
\nThanks loads<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

if you’re like definitely sure you’re not going to have over a 90% average, then i think not applying is a sensible decision. admissions definitely won’t think less of you, and it won’t impact their admission decision – it’s just for your own benefit.<\/p>\n

but you know what, it does only take a few hours, and most of uoft’s scholarships aren’t entirely based on academics<\/a>, so if you have the time, may as well<\/a> fill out an application, right? the worst that could happen is that you don’t get free money. plus, the year’s not over yet, and you could surprise yourself with your marks.<\/p>\n

leafs…that’s hockey, right?<\/p>\n

best,<\/p>\n

P.S. my MAN FRIEND<\/a> has informed me that there is not a chance in hell the leafs will win. soz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
