Hello people of collegeconfidential! I am currently a grade 12 student in Newfoundland, I very recently had found out about SHAD so I’m a little late with sending an application but when I heard about it for me it became an absolute must to apply for. Just wondering if anyone out there have attended before and if you have I can’t help but wonder what are the actual odds of getting accepted? From what’s I seen while looking around has been that the people who have attended the program seem to be students who got rediculous grades and on top of that have done some pretty amazing things out side of academics… Me as a person am your average/ little above average guy maintaining honour role right through sr high with a 85-90avg and in terms of extra curricular I’m involved with being on a FIRST robotics team, high school ball hockey team, I am a tutor with a school board funded program called tutoring for tuition, I’m a Jr firefighter, in grade 10 I received a school award that is awarded to a student who has undergone great challenges and have fought their way through it and being successful. I missed basically all of jr high because of some medical issues and went back to grade 10 and managed to fight my way through which was the reasoning for the award. I also attended a Tourette’s awareness walk where I raised over C$1000 for Tourette’s syndrome medical research. Any input would be awesome! Thanks
I’m sure you will get in bud. Acceptance rate is 50%, so as long as you did good on your essays I wouldn’t even worry about it.
