OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Keep your doors open when you make choices Consider Co-op to test drive a career Check out SAT’s and NCAA if considering a U.S. school If you have failed a subject consider summer school, repeating next year and/or changing levels TOEFL is required if you have been in Canada under 4 years Ask Questions!!!! Do Research!!!!

CHOOSE WISELY!!! Remember you must take at least 3 courses Remember you need 6 U/M level courses for university entrance 75%+ What courses you pick will determine how many sections of each course will run COURSE CHANGES NEXT YEAR MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE!!!!! Avoid waiting lists – pick courses you actually want to take!!!!!

SCHOLARSHIPS Many look at extra-curricular involvement and community service as well as marks You get $$ for high grades!!! Many universities look favourably upon those who have committed themselves to helping others Consider becoming more involved in leadership opportunities and volunteer work
