听孩子说现在学校里G12英文课某老师班平均分60多,有G12 的学生正在校外修英文。
孩子跟同学有意向去比较好的私校读G12英文(Waterloo系统里认可的私校)。
但是不知道大学招生会怎么看,另外也不知道顶私会不会提供单科课程?
不去热门专业可以这样做。这么做热门专业基本就没戏了,尤其是滑铁卢的。换句话说,滑铁卢是最在意高中学校的,否则也不会有个调整系数表。
在滑铁卢的调整系数表上,好的私校一般也就只是平均分。去年的表上,号称加拿大第一名校的顶级私校UCC,调整分数是19.4分,比很多华人区公校水分高10分。
要我是你这种情况,肯定会考虑本教育局的Summer School。
网上有不少问类似问题的,回答90%以上都是持否定态度。比如这个问题:
问:I'm going into grade 12 and I am private schooling English. My English mark in grade 11 was 79% and all my other grades were 93%+. Will Waterloo care if I get a 90-95% from private school? I am trying to go into engineering and I expect my top 6 next year will be at least 96% (with the private school). My actual school is also on the lower end of Waterloo's adjustment factor list.
答:You will have to do AIF to explain why you took it in private school. It is looked down upon because there are tons of private schools where you technically pay for your grade lol. I know there was one near where I live and the courses were like 500-700 in between there and the teachers would literally help you during your tests and ask you what grade you wanted. It’s a bit unfair since I know there are certain private schools who make students work very hard for their grades regardless of money but due to that it is looked down upon since the committee team at Waterloo is aware that it is quite a mark booster. I would try to lean away from that since English is a core subject and core subjects are usually things that shouldn’t be taken in private school especially for competitive programs like CS/ENG but honestly it’s all luck because the person who reviews your application may look through your AIF and accept it but you could also be paired with someone who looks at the AIF and rejects it. I think it’s better safe then sorry because people have gotten rejected due to private schools/night schools on their transcripts.
