Hi, I'm currently a prospective grade 11 student.

For those of you who are Health Science students, what does it take to get into the program? What was your average, what kind of extracurriculars will stand out, what is the supplementary application like, etc...

Any insight into what admission staff look for in prospective high school students is much appreciated. I really want to start preparing now so that come next year, it won't be too late....

THANKS AGAIN!

To put it simply... You're worrying about specific uni programs in 11th grade, therefore, you will have no problem getting into Health Sci.

It's way too early to start worrying about university programs! Just be sure to keep your grades up, higher than the 90% (top 6) cut-off, and have a few extra-curriculars that you can use to back up your responses to the supplementary application questions (you can see the questions at the link posted above).

You top 6 has to include the required courses as well.
