Queen's

Queens is just about the rep from what I've been told by friends who go there. You pay lots of money for a reputation.

There is a reason for that reputation though. Super high academic standards.

I brought my Bio mark up from 85 to 86, with a recent test.
Hopefully I can keep it up.
Plus, my english mark is (hopefully) skyrocketing from the all-too-low 80.
I need to get my marks up to get in...

There is no way I'm going there, I don't think I can get in. How high does your average need to be?

Well, my midterm was an 85. Though I've heard from Queen's reps that that's good enough to get in, I've also heard that people with mid-eighties haven't gotten in. I'm hoping to get high 80's by midterm next semester.

I'm sure you'll get in.

only for getting in. Once you're in classes Queens' isn't anything special, or so I've been told.
I guess it doesn't matter, I'm just relaying what I've been told about the school.

I wish I had SATs. I usually do pretty well on one test, then forget it all, so I think I'd do good on em. Speccially the english part, I'm quite certain I would kick butt.
My english teacher wants me to do the UBC enterance scholorship, or something, I foget what its called. Its an essay I have to write on on wednesday. Its supposed to be only for 11s and 12s, but hes making me do it. I'm incredibly nervous, even though it doesnt really matter if I do horribly, I can always do it next year.

I have decided to take another math course next year, to keep my options open. I'm hoping my average won't go down, though ...

Data Management or as well as Data Management?

I'm taking Data Management this year, in my second semester. And then another course next year, in Grade 12. I feel insane.
