7. POST-SECONDARY RESEARCH
How to research options for Ontario –
- get admission info and AP info
How to research options outside of Ontario
(other province and USA…)
***research online individual school

8. POST-SECONDARY RESEARCH
Understand difference between U and M (no difference in Ontario)
Understand difference between ‘required’ and ‘recommended’
Understand there are differences between Universities and how they treat AP exams
Transfer credit vs. advanced placement
Number depends on the University
ie. UofT Eng vs Waterloo Eng
***electronicinfo.ca has all of this information***

9. POST-SECONDARY RESEARCH
How averages for admission are determined
– gr. 11 marks = Early Acceptance (only used for conditional early offers)
vs. gr. 12 marks (this is what SECURES a final offer)
- averages (used for admissions) ENG 4U… SCH 4U… MCV4U…
vs exams (used for advanced placement at University OR transfer credit)
Summer school and night school and repeated courses –not AP
*** 98% of programs do not care how taken
(Waterloo – math and engineering; McMaster and Ryerson – post gr. 12 ss)
Personal Response forms - commitment to a program such as AP could be beneficial

10. Outside Ontario i.e. Dalhousie – 5 gr. 12 courses used
ie. Ohio State College:
4 units of English
3 (4) units of math 3 units of natural science with significant lab experience NOT JUST GRADE 12 MARKS
2 (3) units of social science 2 (3) units of the same foreign language
1 unit of a visual or performing art 1 additional unit of the above courses Students exceeding the minimum curriculum in math, natural sciences, or foreign language will be given additional consideration.
High school performance (class rank, GPA)
ACT/SAT scores with writing (see more information about test scores below)
Accelerated curriculum (Honors, AP, IB)
Ability and desire to contribute to a diverse campus community
Leadership, co-curricular and work experiences
