Best of luck man,
I know that feeling, I'm still only in highschool but I worry about it everyday if I'll get in or not, If I'm taking the right courses and if I'm smart enough so I know what your going through Just keep your head up, take a few night courses if you have to as long as you don't give up I'm sure something will work out for you
Best of luck man
Kayla

Hey good luck! I was stressing out lately as well. I applied to sentential and Seneca for business admin. I was going to go for plumbing apprenticeship but I figured I don’t want to work right outta high school. I’m going to get my BA in business admin and then do the plumbing apprenticeship and run my own plumbing company

thanks alot everyone..

and bartman.. my old teacher's son is a plummer and they make really good money.. and his bro is an electriction so they bounce work off each other.. the funny part about it is there last name is Bateman... lol... and pluming is being made easier now ( for everyone) there starting to use plastic pipe.. no joints just bend it where you want it..

i was thinking about plumbing but decided against it cause i do have a creative mind ( when it comes to mechenical stuff) so i wanted somwthing that would embrace that.. keep me on my toes and such...

thanks alot everyone for all the kind words... youve made it so much easier to get through the stresses.. thanks alot..

If it makes you feel better, colleges make provisions to accept all students if the program is not oversubscribed. For the life of me I can't remember what the system is called but you will be accepted. Only universities reject. If you meet the cutoff, you're in.

You might consider returning to highschool for a semester to upgrade your courses and go immediately to university. You will save a good 2 years of time and about $3000. While at Seneca, a number of students there attended just so they could get into university. The problem is that there are a limited number of spots and you are competing with other students for these specific spots. However, if you apply to university directly but choose "general science" instead of "mechanical engineering" you can get into university easily and change your major once there. I changed my major twice while in university.
