Do you have to maintain a certain GPA to maintain your acceptance in the college? I think that students outside the area have different requirements than ones who are Canadians.
Sort of, here's what I found when I was searching for places in Canada. You'd go to the international student link. The requirements for all international students is basically to have high TOFELS or something in English and have a B in grade 12 English. But all the other schools had a 'but if you are american we want this this and this'. So its like a double standard if you will.
Malaspina treats everyone who is not from Canada as an international student. So there's no double standard. All they wanted was that I know english and got a B or C in Grade 12 english and I got an 88% B+. So I met the requirements.
For US schools they want people with above 3.0 top of the class, 21-28 on their ACT.
I don't have have a GPA, got my diploma through internet correspondance, a 16 on the ACT (i got an 18 but the ACT people 'lost' it).
So I don't have a lot going for me if you look at my transcript. If I were to guess my GPA's I had a 2.8 at the first high school, 2.5 at the second and a 3.5 at the third. My true GPA or what I'm capable is between 3.0-3.5. Problem with high school was that I never was motivated, except for science, history/geography, art, and english. My weak point is Math. I'm dumb at math.
And sure enough the ACT tests math not your history skills.
I mean I went 2 years in history/geography class getting above 100% on tests. I think my sophmore year my History grade was 120%. (did a bunch of extra credit on tests) I wrote a 7 page essay during a test on Animal Farm in History class freshman year. lol
My teacher told me I had to quit writing it was 3:30 class ended at 3pm and I would be late for football practise. lol
I'll do better in college because I can focus on what my strength's are.
