Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the province and the university. Ontario universities universally use your top 6 Grade 12 U/M courses. BC universities (like UBC) often look at all Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses, with a specific focus on 4-6 core Grade 12 courses depending on the program. Always check your specific university's requirements.
If your high school uses letter grades (common in BC and Alberta), universities have standard conversion scales. Generally, an 'A' converts to ~86-93%, a 'B' to ~73-85%, and so on. This calculator uses a standard Canadian conversion scale, but some universities (like McGill) have their own specific conversion tables.
A 'good' average is highly dependent on the program. For highly competitive programs (Engineering at Waterloo, Computer Science at U of T, Commerce at Queen's), you generally need an average above 90-95%. For general Arts or Science programs, an 80-85% is often sufficient. Many programs have strict minimum cutoffs in the mid-70s.
Yes, especially for early admission offers. If you apply in November/December, universities will use your final Grade 11 marks and any available Grade 12 midterm marks to make a conditional offer. Your final admission will always be contingent on maintaining your average with your final Grade 12 marks.
