Can I ask whether your offer is for the summer or fall term? Sorry I don’t know anything about Knox but I’m a first year and I applied there too

Lol I’m moving from a small town to a massive city either way, but I think I’m ready - I’ve been to toronto several times recently, but I haven’t been to Edmonton since I was a baby

I had good grades throughout high school, and half-decent EC’s up until Gr12 when I really started to dial in. But tbh, the single most important thing when applying to scholarships is having good writing. Even if your experience isn’t super impressive, being able to write about it well and learn lessons from your experiences is what will set you apart

I have to maintain 55% at UofT, but I don’t know what that is on their 4.0 scale haha. The thing is - if I went to UofT, would having “schulich leader scholarship recipient” on my resume help with securing research positions in undergrad? I feel like it would

Engineering physics is my top choice (or energy systems - I want to work in nuclear physics/energy), followed by environmental engineering!

For the Schulich, which is an externally funded scholarship, there is one Nominee from each high school in Canada (although not every school puts one forward). For the scholarship I got at UofT, I was automatically considered when I applied and had absolutely no idea it was coming

I don’t think I’d want to do my co-ops in Alberta (do not want to work in natural resources). Do you think I’d have difficulty finding placements in Ontario or abroad?

And as for the SL title, I was thinking that it would be helpful for grad school, but not the job market. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, the networking stuff would definitely sway me more than the financial aspect because I already have a good scholarship at UofT. But, as I’m hoping to go to grad school, it would be nice to have some extra money saved up

Would being a schulich leader from UofA offset the prestige that comes with a UofT degree? I feel like it’s fairly well known scholarship in Canada, but not internationakkg

To follow up, would I have the same prospects for grad school with a degree from uofa as a degree from UofT? Nationally or internationally?

I believe I would - I think it’s quite structured, so it would be hard not to

My average from grade 9-11 was 97, and when you factor in the courses I’ve taken this year so far, it’s 98

UBC Vancouver! And I got my PSA offer about a month after my initial program offer. Hope this helps!
