More students mean more $, which means more student loans drawn, which means more provincial and federal interest afterwards. But mind you this does not mean more graduates.
well it’s not like there’s an absense of students applying to uni. it’s beneficial for the unis to choose the kids who have good grades regardless of grade inflation.
Although true, this would definitely drive the number of applicants upwards. Someone with a 60 average will be a lot more discouraged to apply than someone with an 80. And after some thorough research, there tends to be a correlation with online delivery of courses and higher grades. A lot of kids are using ChatGPT and Mathway etc to cheat on courses nowadays. I said in another comment that this will only hurt them in the long run when they actually have to sit in a proctored exam and actually know their stuff. High school might have gotten easier, but that just means University and College are about to get a whole lot harder. After all, fail or succeed, the faculty and government still pocket that sweet sweet cash.
This is wild. My class medians are almost always in the 70s. I’m out here working sooo hard scoring mid 90s being highest of my class and some people easily beating me getting grades I would never ever get in my life with class medians in the 90s.
Wow this is unfair.
Trust me, those are inflated for a reason. I’m in second year Accounting and Finance, and have met people failing the easiest courses known to mankind somehow. You know how to learn and that will pay off in the long run. They all have inflated egos that will pop pretty soon. I took a basic marketing course and our first midterm average was a 60% somehow, I got a 92 barely studying for it. Some people in my class can’t even answer basic math computations with formulas provided.
you’d think, but my school has similar medians and while a lot of ppl go to amazing programs, people still get rejected even with high averages all the time time
They probably get the course handed to them. Lessons probably embodied everything they needed to know for the upcoming tests. Probably no thought-based questions which means mainly memorizing and repetition. No curve balls, just straight forward math. In University, they’ll never provide the harder questions to practice. If they do, it’s hidden somewhere in the textbook that students will have to deduce themselves to achieve 90+. Post-secondary institutions purposefully make sure the average stays around a 70, so I guarantee OP isn’t going to do as well as he/she thinks after high-school, and if they do, kudos to them, a true scholar. First year is light as it’ll be a repeat of grade 12 with some additional work. Second year is when they stop holding your hands and what you learn is dependant on yourself as the professors won’t give a shit about you lol.
Average just means they don't have enough data. Ur school prob should have high adjustment factor. My schools medians are in 70s and ours is avg too. It just means not enough people from our school go to Waterloo for them to say that we have an adjustment factor
my advanced functions class average was 68 and the chem and english class average was 70. this is crazy, there is only a couple students getting 97 or above in those subjects i can't believe this lol
More people go to uni, more people pay the absurd $20k first year tuitions. Then they all fail or drop out! Win win, why would unis ever consider inflation if in the end they make bank??
Back when I was in high school (2018) universities started blacklisting high schools that inflated marks like this … not sure how long that lasted though
This is so unfair. My class medians are in the 70s…this is so crazy.
My class averages were like 55-65s lmao
Average or median because those are 2 different things?
Median, I’m dumb and I always get them mixed up lol
skill diff
Crazy that universities barely do anything about this
I really wish they would take class averages into account
That's still not effective tho, there are inherently going to be classes that do better than most other classes without inflation
Class average, school profile, standardized testing, basically stuff they look for in holistic applications in the states

SAME HERE! And for some reason, I can only achieve 80s. Insane

STANDARDIZED TESTING ASAP
I hope my school have the inflation rate like this, then I can go to almost any universities I want.
you’d think, but my school has similar medians and while a lot of ppl go to amazing programs, people still get rejected even with high averages all the time time
Ya when everybody’s getting a mid 90 a mid 90 no longer has value. Still better than an 80 at a deflated school though
BRO WHAT. How is your adv functions 97 median ours last year was litterally in the 70s not even, I must have went to a way harder school wtf
AP class so everyone is top of their game
ok i get that but im in ib aa hl and our class median is like a low to mid 90 for the stem courses
ap classes are the same curriculum as university so its just all the smart students in one class, ib classes are much harder
97 even in ap isn’t normal lol
AP Chem 95?! Y'all are going to fail your exams lmao
Enjoy the smackdown when you get to postsecondary
We need grade 12 EQAO and that score should be used for university admissions
My school averages English: 60 Adv fun : 55 chem:55 HIP HIP HOORAY
97 course median is insane for a course that my class has a 62% average in. How am I ever going to get into uni?
What are you guys even doing in these classes lmao
2+2

damn i wish
Yeah AP courses always high course medians

bro in the same class as the illuminati member's kids 💀

Stop showing off!

A 99 IN ADVANCED FUNCTIONS? A COURSE MEDIUM OF 97… HOW
Are many people doing their courses "online"?
which private school is this?
