what grade are you in?

how about applying to another program? like chemistry since that's your highest mark.
engineering has a lot of math, your lowest mark.

pretty sure most applications for this sept. are already due and decisions have been made for most students.

we are not admissions people. you should call them and ask what your chances are and what you should do.
maybe you should try to boost your gpa, like in calc.
and where's physics and the other math courses.

I'm sorry to be blunt, but WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE ACCEPTANCE PROCESS IN ANY WAY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY INSIDE INFORMATION THAT WE ARE WITHHOLDING FROM YOU.

People have told you time and time again, your grades seem good. KEEP STUDYING. There's not a damn thing anyone here can do to give you a definite answer. You're just going to have to wait.

If you don't get in, there are much worse things. Go somewhere else or take a year off. It's not the end of the world.

What do they teach you kids in high school these days??

I'm sorry if I seem angry, But you've made like FIVE threads with the EXACT same info, maybe your grades changing 1% each time. People have given you the SAME advice five times over. Has it helped at all???

Did you apply for b-tech to begin with or just engineering? If you applied to just engineering and were given b-tech as an alternate offer, it's most likely that you will not be accepted for engineering. They do something similar with Health Sci - where if you don't get accepted, regardless of whether you applied or not - you are given an alternate offer to Life Sci.

Anyways, Good luck!

Notice the inverse proportionality between the number of threads started by you regarding this and your average each time.

Now, I'm not saying correlation = causation, but, ya know.

He doesn't listen. His idea of "replying" is to start a new thread that says the exact same thing as the last one. We tried to tell him before that if he wanted in, he should stay off the message boards and study, but he didn't take the advice. I would venture to say this isn't a real person with a real issue... Just a spammer. Don't ask why someone would spam this way, but that's what all the hints point at. I won't even ask the OP a question or say anything to him simply because he won't respond. I don't know why we bother.

Just so all users are clear, two threads have been merged together. Unfortunately they are a little bit out of order, but now there are not two very similar threads occurring at the same time.

Cheers,
