16. Will Your Child Get IN ??
Unfortunately we get asked this question all the time and we cannot give you an answer.
Why? It depends on how many students apply to that program and what their averages are.
Cut-off averages:
Range from 65% to mid to high 80%s depending on program AND Cegep. Important to apply strategically, especially if you are applying to a competitive program and/or your marks are borderline for that program.

17. YOU MUST BE
STRATEGIC
IN YOUR CHOICES
Pick a program that will allow you to get ACCEPTED to Cegep and work your way up to the program you wish to be in, if you do not have the marks and/or prerequisites.
