^ 11 was 91.5ish, as of now, 12 is 96.5 (in 4 courses, only 3 are going to be in my to 6) I have 3 courses now that i'm pretty sure will be in my top 6 :D


le sighs.
my application status still says "ready for review"...

Just wondering but did you already have calculus completed?
I just started the course in February (it's semestered with advanced functions) after the interim marks were already sent so they don't have my calculus mark yet... is this why they're not really looking at my application right now?

No. i'm in a semestered school, so i'm only about a 1/3 of the way through calculus. They don't have my marks for that class yet.

What's your average right now?
Perpetually hungry.

My next report card doesn't come out until mid-April. Will self-reporting so late hurt my chances of acceptance?

What are you applying?
I'm afraid I'm in the same situation. *sigh*

Admitted Pending Final Results
OMGOGMOGMOGM

I can die happy.

By the way, I'm from BC, and my next report card doesn't come out until then as well. However their website, on the self reporting page, said to self report anytime before May 1st WITH THE GRADES AS OF THAT TIME. I called service point and the lady basically reaffirmed that and said, unless you think your grades will change drastically, DO REPORT BEFORE APRIL if possible.

Does 'grades as of that time' mean your accumulated grades of term 1 and term 2, or just whatever you're getting for the current term? I'm from BC as well and my school has 3 terms per year, but I'm unsure whether to report the avg. grades or just my term 2 grades (the website says both term 1 and 2 grades count as 'interim marks'). Gahhh I'm so confused. So what grades did you submit? I think I should call them tomorrow to clear this up.

According to what the lady said to me: 'grades as of that time' means the grades you have at the you are self reporting, so basically, no predicting the grades you will have later or whatever. Our school has two semesters, when I self reported I updated the grades from first semester that I self reported back in January, and added the grades I am currently holding in my classes this semester.

So, first semester finals, and current second semester marks (: hope that helps! I think you should call as well, so theres no mistakes :)

Well, our school is a bit weird and they calculate our grades for each term separately. I already know my term 2 marks, but not the 'combined' or accumulated grades for each subject. My term 1 marks weren't that impressive, so it would be excellent if I could submit only my term 2 grades without averaging them out with my mediocre term 1 marks. But yeah, I'm definitely going to give them a call to make sure. Thanks anyway. :D

Has anyone been accepted as of late? And anyone into any of the engineering programs?

Not very high... only around 93 which is not too high above the cutoff
Actually I don't expect to be accepted any earlier than May but I was hoping the status would change to something like "under review" so at least I know they LOOKED at my application.. but now it's STILL "ready for review" so it's like are they putting me off till may or are they not really willing to accept me in the first place??

That's not how it works. There is no under review stage. It will go straight to one of the "Accepted" statuses if you are.
