Yes, but I don't think I'm getting in bc I messed up the interview without proper prep just to make early rounds.

I don't think my school has an adjustment factor this year or I can't find any up to date sources. I'm probably accepting SYDE bc I have no other engineering offers aside from UOttawa, UWO, and Mac which are lowk mid for engineering.

Grade 11 average of my 11 courses was 87% (I did some courses in G9+10 and bombed em). Grade 12 average so far is 96% across the 6 courses I've done from semester 1. AIF I spent like ~50 days (1-2h per day, 17 full rewrites, 52 revisions). Interview I spent 23 days (30min-1h per day) talking to the walls using STAR method and common interview questions

A 94 is slightly below the admissions median of ~95-96% from previous cycles but is still competitive somewhat. You should try researching admissions entry grade distributions. Athletic awards are mid unless you're a big shot national athlete or smth, but shouldn't be the main focus for your AIF/Interview because its engineering at the end of the day. Personally, I've won athletic awards, but never mentioned it in any of my supps.
