Hello all,
I'm a grade 12 student who has just recently picked up their schedule for this fall. Earlier this year when I was picking out my grade twelve courses I decided I would only take six courses; English, Advanced Functions, Chemistry, Biology, Calculus and Physics with two spares, one in each semester. I had just recently found out that it is possible for me to fit in grade eleven and grade twelve French into my schedule. In the past I have been told that having all four years of French in high school can drastically improve your chance of acceptance at RMC but it is not mandatory. The activities that I take part in outside of school I find take up a lot of time and having a spare is really helpful. For example, throughout the school year I work anywhere between 16-24 hours a week, take part in community involvement to receive some hours, maintain a good degree of personal fitness and tutor fellow students who are in desperate need.
Now, what is the question you may be asking? Do I take the highroad of taking on two French courses which can seriously jeopardize my overall performance or do I take the low road and hope what I have to offer is enough to get accepted? Lastly, I'd just like to point out my grade eleven average worked out to be 93%. Surely, this has it's benefits I hope.
I'm open to all thoughts, suggestions and criticism and I thank all who post in advance.
Thanks.
