If you don't mind me asking, what was your average? I just updated my self reported marks last night and I don't know if my average is high enough. :/

I don't get it i'm from BC, which marks did you guys self report? It says "interim mark" so do I put in my term 2 mark or average of term 1 and term 2? One guy from my school already got early acceptance but I don't understand how when you need term 1 and 2 it says?

Anyone know what the average is like for normal admission this year (out of Ontario)? It seems to increase by 1.5% every year, which means this year's cutoff would be around 94.3...

The website says to maintain 85% in all math and science courses in top six.. so if we get, say, 84% in calculus for second semester midterms, will the offer be revoked? Or what if it's 84% final mark?

Nope, not in IB. 94% gr 11 average and 94% gr 12 average (with 5 completed courses). Frankly, I was quite surprised with the early acceptance. I've only got 2/4 prerequisites completed, and 94% seems to be borderline, but anyway I'm not complaining haha

Actually my top 5 average was just 93.6%. Honestly, if they did actually increase the cutoff by 1.5% every year, eventually they will reach a point where nobody will be admitted. It all depends on the applicant pool. The only reason the cutoff has been increasing is because of Ontario's ridiculous and continual grade inflation over the past few years.

I am not in full IB either, and my grade 11 and 12 applying averages were lower than 94% and I still got in so...
