They take your highest 6 grade 12 university level courses to calculate your average, but they take prerequisites first.

So if you had 6 prerequisite courses, only those 6 would count towards your average. But if you only have 4 prerequisites for your program, they'll also take your highest 2 other university level courses.

I was in a similar situation in grade 12 when I applied for nursing (which has similar prereqs). I was taking advanced functions, writer's craft, international business and comm. tech. and I'm pretty sure it did give me an advantage because I got my acceptance in late February I believe (I had 90+ in everything). I took all my sciences and english in second term.
