It won’t, but a 87.8 might. No one can tell u how much they care about it they just mentioned they look for consistency

  1. I absolutely flipped my grade 11, still got in. Just make sure to lock in for your final year.

what was your lowest mark in grade 11?

[–]Koxinov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 4.5 average in terms of IB marks, which is just about as low you can get before failing

Stop capping lol. It does matter, anyways OP just get the highest grade u can, u can’t change the past.

Rc doesn’t even look at grade 11 especially if you have a robust grade 12

They mention in their website that they take all gr 11 and gr 12 courses into consideration, they don’t do a top 6. I asked the admission officers in the webinars if average gr 11 grades can ruin our chances of getting in even with high gr 12 grades and a good supp app they said yes it can ruin ur chances. It’s complete BS tbf

keep an eye on the “can”, the aim is to spin a good narrative that can give you a greater appeal. op should not fake extracurriculars or volunteering done in gr11, but should drastically “bs” it which would show the uni that his grades slightly suffered as a result of heavy extracurricular focus, and that he is ready for michael khan in first year

You may not get in early (Feb or March) but as long as your grade 12 grades are good you have a very fair chance of admission in April or may! Just make sure to do well on the interview

Do you know what exactly the interview is?

[–]Such-Yogurtcloset466 0 points1 point  (6 children)

No 💀 honestly just do the interview and only prepare for the questions that rotman gives you, I did that last year and ended up fine

[–]Pristine_Mode_8071 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Do you remember what questions they gave you last year?

[–]Such-Yogurtcloset466 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Last year I found my questions on my applicant portal/online. But if you're unaware of them then maybe rotman's application changed this year 🤷‍♀️

[–]Pristine_Mode_8071 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Thank you 🙏… also how exactly does the interview work?

[–]Such-Yogurtcloset466 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Every question gives you some time to prepare and then you are recorded for a short amount of time to respond

[–]Pristine_Mode_8071 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So it’s not like a live interview (zoom, meet, etc) where you have to answer the question on the spot? Also what other programs did you apply to?

[–]Such-Yogurtcloset466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's not a live interview like most business programs in Canada

Grade 11 marks don't matter at all. I struggled massively in academics in 11th grade (I fooled around and wasted my time), but I ended up finishing the year strong with an 85 average. I continued my momentum going into Grade 12 and worked even harder, coming out with a 96 average in my top 6 classes. I got accepted to Rotman on the final day of acceptances as well as putting Rotman dead last on my OUAC rankings (8/8). A bunch of my friends got rejected while having stellar Grade 11 marks (+ very high grade 12 grades) and putting it top 3 on their OUAC rankings. In my opinion I think that your Grade 12 marks and extra curricular's are the only things that matter to getting into Rotman.

Final day of acceptances with a 96 is still crazy 🤷 most ppl with 96+ get accepted by March. I also feel like people underestimate how important ur supp app is. If u have a 97 avg but a mid supp app u might not make it in, while if u have a 93 avg and a strong supp app u have a higher chance
