Hey everyone, I am a 11th grade student in Canada who is thinking about going into engineering; more specifically civil, mechanical, and or architectural engineering. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do other than having good grades that'll stick out to application officers such as EC's or projects I can create/design.
Also wondering if 11th grade marks have a significant impact on admissions b/c I didn't do to well in my first semester. The prerequisites for the programs I want to get into were chemistry, advanced functions, calculus & vectors, physics, and english. In my first semester of grade 11 I ended up getting a 60 in functions 66 in chemistry and an 90 in english. My second semester has physics with midterm mark being an 80. The reason as to why my grades were so low was honestly due to procrastinating and just not caring. I am working very hard on changing my ways and am planning to study hard in grade 12 to at least get 85-95 in all the prerequisite courses.
