hey there,<\/p>\n
ahh, the admissions question. now my friend, i know you probably haven’t been reading this website as long or as intensely as i have – and why should you, you don’t get paid to read it – but there is a storied history on here of grade 12’s asking askas whether they’re going to get in with x average and yz extra-curriculars, and of those askas absolutely<\/a> flipping<\/a> out \u00a0<\/a>on them.<\/p>\n lucky for you, i haven’t gotten enough of them yet this year that i find them annoying. still, i gotta tell you that asking me this question is kind of pointless. i’m only slightly more informed than than you are (though i am, of course, infinitely better-looking and much funnier).<\/p>\n like, i don’t know if you’ve figured this out from the hokey web design and disturbingly comic sans-esque font, but aska is NOT, in fact, an official branch of UofT admissions. i don’t work for admissions. i’m just a chick at a computer<\/a>. (an amazingly beautiful, goddess-like chick, but a chick nonetheless).<\/p>\n so what i can <\/em>tell you is pretty limited, but i do know this: firstly, the minimum admission average, or cut-off, if you will, for life sciences, is 70%<\/a>. 70%! that means your current average is 14% above that<\/i>. seems like a lot, right? that’s ’cause it is. now, every year admissions seems to get more and more competitive, and i can’t guarantee you’ll get in, but i’d say there’s really no need to panic. your chances as they stand are pretty good (and not at all “slim” as you put it).<\/p>\n so yeah! no need to panic. spend your time not worrying, and do something more interesting instead, like learning the pan-flute<\/a>, trying out family constellation therapy<\/a>, or getting ready for the new season of Game of Thrones<\/a>?(WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!)<\/p>\n cheers, my friend, and i hope to see you around campus soon,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Aska, Sorry if I am going crazy, but my final first semester was an 84%.
