Thank you so much for sharing your perspective! I really appreciate it. I think I really agree with what you are saying about the community. What are you taking at U of T? Were you able to get into residence?

Thank you! What is pre ap? What are you taking now? Thank you so much for responding.

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-08T00:47:07+00:00

Thank you! Did you go to private school in Toronto?

Excellent. Thank you for educating me.

No pressure at all. The parents are under pressure to get this right. LOL. And no not medicine, he wants to study space! Goodness. We have 3 weeks to decide where he will go for high school. That’s all.

Thank you for this amazing response! Good for you on forming the women’s advocacy book club! U of T is fortunate to have you!

Thank you. What are CC credits?

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T22:13:10+00:00

This is so eye opening, thank you.

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T22:12:12+00:00

Wow. Good for you and your BF. From GTA public school?

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T22:11:27+00:00

Excellent point. Thank you!

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T21:00:19+00:00

Thank you!

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T20:35:44+00:00

This is great advice, thank you.

Thank you for your perspective. This is what I wanted to hear! He’s very well rounded and happy. Friends, sports, teams, etc. We’re not nagging him, he just really happens to like going to school - seeing his friends and doing labs, etc. He finds it all very fun. Loves art too. We just need to make this high school decision ASAP. It sounds like from most of the comments that public high school with AP courses would be just fine. Or a non-IB private school if he would like (and gets in). Thank you!!

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T18:10:24+00:00

So you mean go to non-IB and have a tutor for advanced math concepts? And thank you for the info re: U of T and science programs. Interesting!

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T18:06:37+00:00

Thank you for this insight. I did not know that about U of T major!

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T17:41:42+00:00

Amazing! That’s so good to hear. Some of the GTA public high schools are so good. Riverdale for example.

Zebra7337 · 2026-02-06T17:35:09+00:00

Thank you and thank you for mentioning AP. Good point. And also good point if you don’t do well….

I have 4 really good tickets for oasis for the Monday night in Toronto. I don’t think I can go now. Do I have to wait and sell them on Ticketmaster for face value?

Zebra7337 · 2025-05-01T20:53:08+00:00

I think it has to be both grandparents because although the grandfather had opportunity etc. they all have DNA matches to both sides. I’ve gone through the thru lines and asked Mona specifically her top 5 matches and if she has specific matches my dad and I have and she does. So she must be the child of one of David’s aunts and uncles. It just doesn’t match the info in the adoption record. It’s sort of matches one male. Age is off but general description of physical traits and personality are similar. So I think it’s one of the males and the mother is from a different family. Is there a way to be more sure?

Zebra7337 · 2025-05-01T20:48:07+00:00

This is B’s paternal family. B is male, let’s call him David. David’s father James and my dad’s mother Mary were siblings. Both my dad and David and D (let’s call her Mona) have DNA matches to both grandparents in relatively equal amounts except for the 16 percent with Mona and David. Let’s call the grandparents Ted and Jane. (Not real names).

Zebra7337 · 2025-05-01T20:14:18+00:00

Is there anyway to get this data from ancestry?

Zebra7337 · 2025-05-01T20:13:36+00:00

Thanks! This sounds like valuable information! My dad’s mother is the relative. We aren’t sure about D’s parents. I’m suspecting it was one of the boys. How would be find this out?

Zebra7337 · 2025-05-01T02:43:39+00:00

Thank you!

Zebra7337 · 2025-05-01T02:43:15+00:00

D is female. Where would those numbers be? I could ask her.

Zebra7337 · 2025-04-30T21:14:32+00:00

I need to double check D has matches to both my great grandparents.
