1 AP at Central Peel – Senior Years December 2, 201

2 AP = Flexibility Grades 9-10 Grades 11-12 5 pre-AP courses
English, Math, Science, French, Geography/History Focus on enrichment Grades 11-12 Allows you to design your own “perfect package” of courses Focus on enrichment

3 “Traditional” Professions
Career Options “Traditional” Professions engineer, doctor, lawyer, teacher, accountant vs. “New” Professions Do your homework RESEARCH Inform yourselves Make an informed decision Career Research: www. careercruising.com Username: peel Password: 28880 Course planning: myblueprint.ca/peel Activation Key: no activation key University research: electronicinfo.ca

4 AP Exams AN option not THE option AP exams recommended
NOT mandatory at the end of an AP course No AP exam Receive the enrichment Better prepared for university Other interests

5 Ideal Number of AP courses
College Board Award Levels AP Scholar Granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams.

Students do not receive any monetary award from the College Board.

6 CPSS recognitions Bronze standard – 2 AP courses taken
Silver standard – 3 AP courses taken Gold standard – 4 or more AP courses taken Questions: Q1 What is an AP course? A1 An AP course is a course offered at Central Peel SS that has an AP exam at the end. Mathematics: MCV4U9, MDM4U9, Science: SBI4U9, SCH4U9, SPH4U9, IDC4U9 Social Science: HSB4U9, CIA4U9, CHY4U9 French: FSF4U9 English: ENG3U9, ENG4U9 Q2 I took an AP course at CPSS but I did not write the corresponding AP exam. Does this course count towards my AP standard (bronze, silver, gold)? A2 YES.

7 POST-SECONDARY RESEARCH
How to research options for Ontario –electronicinfo.ca - get admission info and AP info (ie. Queen’s Psych, UofT Ch.Eng) 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’ 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) vs exams (used for advanced placement at University OR transfer credit) Summerschool and nightschool and repeated courses –not AP *** 99.5% 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 Understand there are differences between Universities and how they treat AP exams Transfer credit vs. advanced placement Number depends on the University ***electronicinfo.ca has all of this information***

9 Example – Engineering Waterloo
Advanced Placement (AP) The Faculty of Engineering considers AP courses to be a good challenge and good preparation for our programs. You may find that you have covered some of the material in our first term courses but, in most cases, not enough for you to be exempted from the entire course without potentially running into academic difficulties later. The depth and level of problem-solving is very different in our Engineering programs than in AP courses and as a result, we don't grant first-year course exemptions for AP courses.

10 Example – Engineering Queen’s
Advanced Placement (AP) –Engineering Queen’s The Advanced Placement program and courses are considered excellent preparation for university courses. Queen's recognizes many Advanced Placement courses as prerequisite courses for admission. Students who have completed AP courses may be eligible to receive credits toward their degree.

11 Outside Ontario ie. Ohio State College:
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 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 USA Terms: SAT vs. ACT, College vs. University, Collegeboard.com
