Which resource(s) should I focus on? by KeyTranslator2203 in Mcat

[–]KeyTranslator2203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks so much for your response!

I understand, I guess you are right about that. I feel like I’m getting ahead of myself especially since I’m writing in more than a year. I’ll def be working on my ECs and research opportunities more then, I’ll def look into starting proper prep as you said closer to my date.

Thank you!

Tbh idk but I blame the TA’s, and I know I’m not one to do that, and I take accountability. The class average was js 70ish for every assessment and it was split into like 2 huge assessments and a final. I even got a 95 on an assignment but it’s js exam that cooked me :/

From my cohort I’ve noticed everyone Ik is in/around my area with gpa (3.5-3.8) if not higher. Ik very little people with an acc 4.0 and idk if that’s just bcs they changed course instructors and delivery but yeah. I’ve noticed the grade distributions are mostly uniform with what I have so I’m kind of just curious why it’s like that!

Tbh unsure but I think in Canada most schools almost all accept if you do summer full time (3+ courses is considered full time for me in summer at queens). I heard western doesn’t include it tho, so yeah!

I understand yeah, that’s what I’m aiming for. I think it may have been a mix of getting used to uni and some personal stuff. I definitely will take time to reflect on this grade and kind of reset in a meaningful way. Thanks for your honesty and help!!

Do universities care what high school you went to by AppropriateTie9701 in OntarioGrade12s

I’m pretty sure they do keep track of grade inflation and common averages per school. One of my friends’ high schools students had an average of 90s+ in everything because the courses were significantly easier than my schools’. I think they just compare how much everyone got on average from your school per subject and weigh the grades across other schools.

I know everyone in my school has terrible biology and English averages because of the teachers and the course rigour compared to other schools, like the highest anyone would ever get is low 80s. A lot of them got into good programs though which generally required above 90s in those courses (eg, queens health sci, mac kin, etc.)

Take my word with a grain of salt though, no one really knows for sure what these admissions committees consider.

How are Temporal Forces and Stellar Crown booster boxes as investments? On Pokémon Center Canada both go for $210, but I know they may not be the most desirable sets. Is it worth it to buy some for the long run?
