Regular Admission

Regular admission is competitive and is based equally on high school (Grades 10 & 11) transcripts (50%) and entrance exam scores (50%).

There are no specific cut-off scores/grades.  The higher the student's scores/grades, the better the chances of being admitted. 

When evaluating high school transcripts, we compare students to the class average and to the average of other applicants from the same school. Grade 12 records do not affect the admission decision (since students usually apply at the beginning of grade 12).
​

Early Admission

Applications for early admission that don't meet the following early admission criteria will automatically be considered based on the regular admission criteria.
