• Get started on any supp apps early! Also if there are any optional supplementary applications we suggest that you do them! This can be a chance to show the admissions committee who you are as a person and outside of school which can boost your application. 

• Always check MyBlueprint to ensure your OSSD requirements are on track to be completed

​

"What marks are used for my application?"
