not to contribute to the canada q&a but is it true in canada extracurriculars in high school aren’t seen the same way they are in the us in high school? i remember seeing a tweet in passing that said extracurriculars are more of just a fun thing you can do if you want but they’re not really required for university because they don’t look at that stuff they just look at your grade 12 U/M(?) grades?
same with AP/dual enrollment i heard you guys don’t really have that or that it depends on the school/provinces?
by extracurriculars, do you mean joining sports teams/clubs or taking classes like italian, french, spanish, drama class, art, etc? if so, it's to fill up your credit requirements beyond the compulsory credits (eng/math/sci/french/gym) up to a certain grade. some elective classes i took were writers craft, digital art, media studies, world religion, sociology/psychology/anthropology bc they were easy, interesting and boosted my average.
they look mostly look at gr. 11/12 marks but take in your overall average and gr. 9/10 records for uni/college acceptance. this is for ontario catholic schools so idk if public schools/other provinces are different. u.s school requirements and your grading system are stricter :/
