HEy guys,

I 'm wondering if I can still get in to these following Universities:

Uof T /U of T Mississauga : lifescience
Mcmaster: lifescience
Western : lifescience

the thing is, I was sick for my grade 11 and 12 years and I'm on my 5th years now, so I was absented from alot of classes that times and had to retake lots of course. This year, I'm still undergoing treatments and
I JUST sent in my extenuating circumstances information A WEEK AGO to all the schools , and they said it was ok!

I'm wondering what are the chances of being accepted of rejected, I mean its already My, and I'm getting anxious!!
Can somebody who knows about this kind of situation give some kind of constructive advices please.

My top six are: even if I was sick, I was alot better this year and kept up with my work, and only ONE OF THEM is a retake and ALL THE OTHER ONE ARE FIRST TRY.

Biology : 91
calc/vectors: 87
advanced functions: 94 (retake)
Music : 91
data management: 90
English :70

AVg: 87%
My English mark is draggggin my whole average down alot partly because of my illness...

so what do you think??
Thanks in advance[/size][/size]

You still have a very strong average even with your English mark, I was just accepted at McMaster with an 82 average. Granted it was for an easier program, but you should still be fine.

How did you get into Mac life sci with an 82%? Did you fill out an EC, cuz the normal min acceptance average this year is an 89%. But OP, if you filled out the EC, contacted the schools and STILL have an 87%, then I would say you have a good chance of getting accepted to Mac. And I think Western's admittance is 1-2% lower than Mac, so you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply! ehh 89 % I'm still hanging on the edge though, really worries me because its kinda of my top choice. Thanks for the encouragement though.
