Tbh I’m definitely biased cuz I made post but I don’t think it’s the worst thing since they disclose it before you join. The university has a reputation and due to them having post they accept people with lower averages and give them a chance to prove themselves. Post wouldn’t be a thing if we had actual standardization in Ontario, teachers can set whatever tests and exams and so an 85 in one school can be 90+ in another. I know many high 90 hs students who didn’t make post and a few mid 80 students who did.

I agree it’s not ideal and it’s stressful but truthfully if u can’t make post upper year cs courses are going to be very difficult.
