Rellen Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 And how would you describe the transition from highschool to university? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebox Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Somewhere around 80-85%. I knew at the time that high school marks wouldn't be a big issue in the future as long as I could get into University, so I enjoyed it and then started putting in a lot of effort during undergrad.

lostintime Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 There is probably not a great correlation. Go to a challenging high school...it'll help you in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think I had a 94 average in Grade 12. I think my best marks were in Calc, Precalc, Chem, and Phys. I think. It was a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Someone in my class went to a rural high school and had between a 60-65% average. His teachers had all but written this person off. This person is now one of the brightest students in our med class. Never underestimate your ability to work hard and achieve your goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwh333 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 stan, where did you go for undergrad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 somewhere b/w 90-95...doesn't really matter in the grand scheme. the main thing is getting used to the frequency of studying in university - that's what i find gets most people. just doing stuff the night before won't work as well anymore.

rogerroger Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 High school is a joke and grades are irrelevant. Anyone could wipe their ass with a piece of paper hand it in and get a decent mark... If you did the work you should get into any university you feel like in Canada... It has little to do with ability... Where people really get sorted out is in years 1,2,3,4 of university.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 High school: 74% or so. University: 3.78/4 GPA, 3.96 AMCAS So far, I have a seat in the US that I am seriously considering. I'm also an applicant in Canada for this cycle. In my opinion, high school doesn't mean anything - it's how you react to being in university that matters.

w8kg6 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 He probably didn't change at all. It's jsut a completely different game. As it stands, don't worry about your high school marks, since they don't mean **** all once you're done (and all you really need is an 80 average for most universities).

Sanserie Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I smoked crack and had 9 illegitimate children. Drank like a fish too. Failed grade 10 twice. Graduating avg: 54% I also smelled like root beer all the time. See, I couldn't get into medical school because it asked my high school average on the application, and it just screwed me over. I had to go to one of those fake schools down on one of those islands somewhere, and fellate plenty of people to do it. So don't let anyone tell you that high school average doesnt matter. It's ALL that matters. If youre not ufcking the prom queen, youre a loser forever. High school = Your life. MUHAHAHAHAHAH! It's true. Not being Prom Queen has scarred me for life.
