Updates
University of Toronto:  For students who have applied for early admission to U of T, they are recommending that students upload their transcript into the U of T portal (you can use the BC government transcript with final Grade 11 grades that you can access from the Student Transcripts Service). Students should also be completing the self-reporting form in the portal. It is recommended that students submit this info by Nov. 15th.

SFU
SFU has a new tool on their website called Admission Compass: it allows you to plug in your current courses and it tells you what programs you are eligible to apply to at SFU. See here: https://www.sfu.ca/students/admission/compass.html

EducationUSA Canada
This website has an online information session tomorrow where multiple US universities will be giving information on their admissions and answering questions. http://educationusacanada.ca/
The website also has alot of great information for students interested in going to the US for university, and if you follow their social media they often have webinars and online info sessions with info about applying to US schools.
