<p>Hey guys,
So I am currently just finishing grade 11, and I am wondering, do they include your grade 11 grades for university. I am looking into getting into McGill or UBC. My grades are not spectacular right now with an average of 85. However, in Grade 12 my grades will shoot up as I am not taking useless classes that bring my grades down. </p>
<p>So all in all, do they include your gr11 grades into consideration, or just your grade 12 grades?</p>
<p>Thanks,
John</p>
<p>The universities will take into consideration both Grade 11 and 12 grades. But it will be a bonus if you can show them an upward trend.</p>
<p>Mostly grade 11, unfortunately for you. That is because Gr 11 will be the most recent, and complete, indication of your grades.
UBC only requires you to self-report gr 12 first semestre, and it AUTOMATICALLY makes decision. Thus, it is fairly obvious that gr 11 has the heavier weight.</p>
<p>I don’t know the specifics for UBC, but some schools only look at grades for a select number of courses (in Alberta, I think UA and UC had a list of courses they looked at for grades for admission, and depending on the program you were applying to you would need to have taken certain courses) So as long as you did well in those courses you were fine, regardless of when you took them.</p>
<p>Assuming you’re from Canada, they only look grade 12 grades.</p>
<p>Hey guys, kind of getting a mix of responses here! I am from Canada. And ALL of my grade 12 grades will be in by the end of first semester.</p>
<p>grade 11 marks=make it or break it PERIOD</p>
<p>From a praents view it depends on where you are applying. My D applied to a college (University) in the states that has rolling admissions and she applied in Sept of her Grade 12 year so they based it all on her Grade 11 marks. She was accepted and received all her paperwork and scholarships by Christmas. I also know that at Canadian Universities they base their first entrance scholarships on your Grade 11 marks and will update the amount once your grade 12 marks are in. Find out where you are thinking of applying and contact them directly and find out.</p>
<p>Grade 11 marks matter a lot. And kelloggs, could you check your PMs? I sent you one a while back.</p>
<p>If you’re applying to Canadian universities, they’ll only look at your TOP 5 or 6 grade 12 courses (depending which province you’re from).</p>
<p>There’s a better forum for Canadian universities though (PM if you want to know it) because most people on CC are from the States.</p>
<p>If you apply to a Canadian Uni, I know for a fact they look at grade 11 marks. They are posted on OUAC by your guidance counselor, and are often the only marks that a university sees when considering you for admission, especially if you apply to supplement programs where marks are due before semester one grade 12 marks are out (Western AEO, U of T Rotman supplement, etc)</p>
<p>TheDude is right about how in the end game, only your top 6 U credits from grade 12 will matter, but early admissions come with grade 11 marks, and grade 11 marks can be a deal breaker if there are two applicants who are extremely similar</p>
<p>It depends upon WHICH PROVINCE you are from (if from Canada) and WHICH UNIVERSITY and WHICH PROGRAM! You have to go to the website of UBC and McGill admissions, select on where you are from and which faculty you wish to join, and read the list. </p>
<p>To my knowledge, if you are Canadian, both McGill and UBC only look at your top 5 grade 12 academic courses (but there is some variation depending upon which faculty you apply to).</p>
<p>I don’t know about McGill; check their website.</p>
<p>UBC only looks at your Grade 12 marks that are in by May. 11th Grade only counts insofar as passing prerequisites.</p>
<p>Trust me, I’ve checked. And I am British Columbian.</p>
<p>grade 11 marks are only there to testify your grade 12 mark. They are not counted in calculating your average and i know this FOR SURE. GRADE 12 mark matters alot so work really hard at that point of time.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about the differences between provinces, but here in Ontario the only reason why gr. 11 marks matter is for early conditional acceptances. You might want to check with UBC and MgGill’s admissions page for the program you’re interested in to be sure. I had absolutely dreadful marks in gr.11, and was accepted to all three schools I applied to, so I would say I don’t think gr.11 marks matter, only your top six gr.12 classes.</p>
<p>I guarantee Grade 11 marks matter the MOST at UBC admissions. Grade 12 marks aren’t even completed, and you are immediately informed of your admission status when you self-report mid-year grade 12 marks in January (doesn’t matter unless you failed or something).</p>
<p>Grade 11 is the LAST completed record of your marks and is MOST important at UBC.</p>
<p>Completely disregard this post; he is a moron.</p>
<p>If you’re applying from a Canadian school, UBC only looks at your top four Grade 12 courses, which, depending on the faculty you’re applying to, will vary. For example, I was admitted to arts this year - via early admission - with a midyear average of 94%. My President’s Entrance Scholarship was also based on that average. I was given conditional acceptance, and only had to maintain a 67% average in those four courses + graduate successfully. </p>
<p>I had miserable marks in Grade 11, but they had no bearing on my application. The only Grade 11 mark of mine that they would’ve looked at was Math 11, since I needed 67% or higher for admission to arts.</p>
<p>What? For BC/Yukon it is self-admission in grade 12…
So when I apply in October, what will I submit? I would have no grade 12 marks yet 
Everyone I know who attended this year said grade 11 is important …</p>
<p>Apologies everyone, only some grade 11 courses count as requirements for certain programs (Eng, commerce, etc.). It looks like only a few gr 12 count as admission average.
^jake what is early acceptance? How early did you apply? And how does Major Entrance Scholarship fit into all of this? When is the deadline to reply for admission acceptances?
Sorry again! I have been misinformed …</p>
