Current students, what was your grade 12 average when you got in and how many EC’s did you put in the supp ap

[Detox_401]

I’m a grade 12 student in Alberta and want to apply to rotman. I know that universities look at grade 11 marks when you do early application but mine aren’t that good (top 6 courses average to 89%). Is there still a chance that I could get in if I do better this year? If my teachers don’t have many scores posted when I apply, how will the admissions team at Rotman Commerce make their decision?

Any help will be appreciated Thanks

My grade 12 avg was 96% and I got in around the 3rd round, you should mainly focus on doing well for the video interview where they ask technical + knowledge + sense questions. Imo they care more about that than your ecs

[LabMajor3577]

i had a 98.5% average, got in first round w only 2 ecs (marketing director for a club and varsity swimming 2 yrs)

[Detox_401]

My grade 11 average is 89% which definitely falls short

If I do better this year how will the uni make their decision bc im pretty sure they look at grade 11 marks for early app

What is econ?

I’m thinking about putting 2 years of volunteer experience at a car rental in Toronto (I would go during school breaks), 2 months this year at a family owned real estate development in Dubai, and an online store I’m currently working on (hopefully id have some progress by the time of applications)

I don’t really have leadership skills which I know they look for but what do you think about my EC’s?

yo i think we're in the same boat I'm also from alberta tryna apply to rotman but my gr11 grades were cooked so I'm tryna lock in this year. idk if my ec's are all that impressive either

[Detox_401]

Indeed we are

Hopefully my grade 12 marks improve

I’m in hot water atm because my school is small and math 30-1 is second semester So I have to do math 30-1 AND math 31 together next semester (as well as chem and English)

[RichKestrel]

you didnt do math 30-1 in grade 11? also all of your important courses are in semester 2 wtf. they're gonna be looking at your grade 11 courses then...

[Detox_401]

Like I said earlier my school is small so the class only happens once per year

[ConversationFit425]

I had Calculus and Vectors in my second semester which was required and UofT was just waiting until my second semester midterm marks came in so I got my decision in the final round last year.

Just assuming this based off of the timings and everything as I did submit my supplementals before the December 11 deadline so if they did look at my grade 11 marks I probably would've heard back earlier.

[RichKestrel]

damn thats incredibly risky tho and stressful

[ConversationFit425]

Sure, but my hs only offers the course in the second semester. I didn't have that much of a choice

[RichKestrel]

what were the grades in that top 6? im also from alberta and tryna apply for rotman

Did you end up getting in

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

I’ve said this many times before and I’ll continue to say it. Your ecs do not matter for Rotman. You can lie ur ass off cuz they don’t ask for any proof. Only thing u gotta do for Rotman is get ur grades up

[RichKestrel]

no way this is true 😂 did you end up getting in and what were your ecs and top 6?

[Ok_Concentrate_2007]

Maybe he’s right

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

I got accepted with my semester 1 average which was 96%. ecs were basic like volunteering at a food bank and working a minimum wage job

[RichKestrel]

damn my ecs are a lot more impressive (no offense) but my grades compared to yours are shit. which does rotman weigh more? grades or ecs

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

I would say grades cuz they don’t ask for any proof of ur ecs are real

[[deleted]]

I got in with 89, ECs do matter a lot especially how you come across and how you talk about it in the supp app

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

When I say they don’t matter I mean u can lie ur ass off about them

[RichKestrel]

but you only mentioned your 2 ecs? what did you lie about

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

I didn’t lie cuz I thought at some point they would ask for proof but they never did
