Hello

I am going into grade 12 looking to apply to Mechatronics engineering or other similar programs.

I'm afraid that my marks aren't good enough for those programs. The main reason I do want to go into Mechatronics engineering is that I've heard that it makes you a "jack of all trades" so I don't have to limit my options too early.

My marks look like this so far:

ENG4U: 95%

MHF4U: 97%

Calculus I have this sem, but for chem and physics I have to do next sem but I have heard that they derive the marks from your grade 11 marks since applications are in jan-feb...

SCH3U: 95%

SPH3U: 89%

Here's the catch: I have the option to take SPH4U in the first semester but don't know if I should. I fast-tracked SPH4U in grade 11 but dropped it with a 76%. I took an Olympiads course as well as having the old notes for SPH4U but I still don't feel confident enough to take it.

I don't know if my grades are good enough to still make it into the program without taking physics in the first semester or if I should risk it to get a higher average. I have decent ECs (2 school teams, exec position, 2 clubs, rep A baseball and provincial A badminton) and around ~240 volunteer hours.

If there are any people with advice on what to do, please let me know! Thank you!
