The information in this document is a work in progress. Some of the information may change, and
I may add to it as I discover more resources. It is also not meant to replace guidance or advice
from your school or school board, etc. Therefore I must state my usual disclaimer: although I
endeavour to ensure the accuracy of the information, the content of this document should not be
relied upon as academic, career, or financial advice.
Some universities are/may be doing online open houses, tours, and information sessions this
month.  Check the “prospective student” section of the universities you’re considering applying
for next year.
 
Check the admission requirements for the programs you’re interested in. Make sure you’re
meeting them. If you’re not, you could make a plan to do an online course (see Blyth
Academy information below). 
Some universities have information on the admission average “cut off” for admission to certain
programs the year before, for example, Waterloo Engineering.  If your average is not currently
competitive for the cut-off, plan to get help (see Khan Academy information, below). 
Some universities require a personal statement for admission.  Find out if the ones you’re
interested require one and, if so, what do they entail?  Here’s a great video from UBC to explain
what a personal profile is, why it’s important, and how to write it. Although the video is produced
by UBC, the information applies generally to most personal statements for admission.
   
These days are challenging, but time away from regularly scheduled academics and activities
provides you with an opportunity as well. It's an chance to to take initiative and prepare
properly for the opportunities that lie ahead, namely university admission and scholarships.
Many students never get a break from their regular routine to really focus on these important
activities. Although it's unfortunate you've had a "break" forced upon you, try to use the time to
be productive and come out of it with a few of your most important goals achieved. I hope this
information helps you to do so.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST USE
OF TIME OFF
IN GRADE 11 AND 12
Work in progress & disclaimer
Grade 11
1copyright 2020
Do online research on the universities you may apply to in Grade 12
Do the same thing with university websites – go to their scholarship pages and see what
scholarships are available, when the deadlines are, and what is required.  The information
will likely be the same, or similar, next year when you're applying.
 
You can glean some useful information about what scholarship committees are looking
for by reading several applications.  Then, use that information to make informed
decisions about how best to spend your time now.  Many scholarship applications use
activities and some use marks from Grade 11, so what you do now may determine if you
are eligible for some scholarships when you apply in Grade 12.  
  
Start to develop your activities list for admission and scholarships.
The activities list is a list of your activities outside of your regular
school-based academics, for example clubs, sports, employment, etc.
Many scholarships require an activities list, and some universities
require it for admission. You can start your list now, and add to it as you
participate in new activities. You'll thank yourself later when you're
busy and need the information! I've written a blog about the activities
list, with a handy form you can download and use to develop your list.
Some students have never seen what a scholarship application looks like.  Now is the
time to read a few and make note of what they ask so you can prepare in advance to
meet requirements. 
Compare similar programs at different universities.  What are
the differences or unique features of each one?  For example, many
universities offer a Bachelor of Science in Physics.  These programs
are similar, but they’re not the same.  What are the benefits of one
versus the other? Which one is the best for you? Read my blog on
this topic for more information.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST USE OF TIME OFF IN GRADE 11 AND 12

Prepare now for scholarships in Grade 12
Go to the scholarship search engine ScholarshipsCanada.com. 
Tour the site and get familiar with the platform.  Then, make a
profile as if you were in Grade 12 (you can change it later).  You will
start to get matched with scholarships.  Read the scholarship
applications to see what kinds of requirements are necessary. Is
there a grade requirement? If so, what is it?  Is an essay required?  If
so, what is the essay about?
