Self-reporting marks?
Hello! I had a question about self-submitting your marks while applying to SFU. I'm in grade 12 and I started my 2nd semester in high school yesterday (January 31st). The 4 approved courses I need are all in this 2nd semester. I'm trying to get into psych at SFU.
When would be the best time for me to submit my marks? Should I start self-submitting my marks in March, when I get my midterm? Or do I make estimates of what mark I think I'm going to be receiving in those classes and submit those now? I'm afraid that if I estimate my marks, I'll end up getting something lower than I submitted and my chances of being accepted will be low. The deadline for self-submitting your grades are April 30th 2014. If I DO submit my marks in March, by when do you think I would receive my acceptance letter? When would be the latest? Sorry for so many questions,
In July, I'm going to Europe and I'm just hoping that I get my official acceptance by then so I don't worry about if I'm going to be accepted or not all summer break... I'm just very excited. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Unless your high school is really anal about showing your current grades, you shouldnt have much of a problem asking your teachers for the marks in late april. Then add those marks in.
I remember when i submitted my grades in like late January, and within a week or two, i got a letter that ive gotten accepted (early acceptance of course, which is not confirmed). Then i jerked off for the rest of the semester, and they looked at my grades at the end of the semester, and told me i couldnt make it. I had to take two more high school courses (97% and 91%) to get back in.
Just self submit it as late as possible (april 29th or something). even if your grades become lower, as long as its not a huge difference or so, they would probably let you in.
