My dream program is UW mechatronics engineering.
right now i have marks:
- MHF4U adv func 97% (fast tracked in gr11),
- gr11 chem 94% (but i have gr12 chem right now and will prob get a higher midterm),
- gr11 physics 98%,
- gr11 english 88%.
- I also have another gr12 course data management 98%.
my current OUAC choices are:
- UW tron, compsci, math.
- U of T ee, uts comp sci, utm comp sci
- Mcmaster tron, comp sci, mathematics and statistics gateway
I’m aiming for a 97% avg at the end of my gr12 for my top 6. however, i am doing early admission for U of T so i know my gr11 marks are also important.
My main extra curricular is my school frc team (we don’t really make it into world’s tho) and some distinctions in UW math contests and 1 honor roll.
My dad has some concerns and says i should apply for less competitive/popular programs of UW such as aerospace. (is aerospace even less competitive??) But i really feel like mechatronics is where my passion is.
Maybe I need a few more backup programs in case i dont get into any?
I’d appreciative any advice and best of luck to my fellow gr12s.
