Entrance scholarhip

edited January 2008 in General
How exactly do you get the SFU entrance scholarship? do you simply just apply with a 90% average or higher and you get it? or is there something im missing.

    You don't need to apply for entrance schoarship. Like you said, you will get $3500 if you are admitted with 90% or higher.

    and, when calculating the 90% average, they only look at your provincially examinable courses right? i mean, the classes im taking right now are English 12, Math 12, Biology 12, Chemistry 12, spanish 11, physics 11 and PE 12. so they would only use the grades from math, chem, bio and english?

    good question...... so basically, i dont need to worry about getting 95%+ in any of the grade 11 courses i am taking right now, becuase they wont be considered when calcualating my average for the scholarship.? that will make things mch easier

    Just make sure you pass your grade 11 courses. SFU looks at rather you take a lanuage 11, science 11, english 11, and Principle of Math 11 or not even though these grade 11 course ARE NOT USED TO CALCULATE YOUR ADMISSION AVERAGE.

    Also, which faculty are you going into? Judging by the stuff you are taking, you pretty much will get a free pass to the big three (Arts, Business, Science).

    See you in September this year.

    By the way, go to UBC if you got an admission and scholarship offer from them as well.

    Is there much of a difference between SFU and UBC? is there a difference in the quality of education one would get at either school?

    You better start a new thread if you want a more in-depth answer to this question.
