- Hiya!
Thank you for all your kind comments on my university decision reactions video! After many requests, I have decided to create a series dedicated to my McMaster Health Science application process. In this part, I go over all my grades, extracurriculars, awards, and general advice for incoming grade 12's. In my next video, I will be delving deeper into how I approached the very peculiar supplementary application and general advice on writing a good university essay. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment down below or reach out to me on my Instagram! Please subscribe to my channel and give this video a thumbs up! Thank you!!:)
See ya!

Do you have any examples of your grade 12 essays that you will be willing to share? Pls, it will help me out a lot!
Have you change your program?
says she doesnt know why she made the health sci program but literally has a 97 average and does every extracurricular and volunteers
She said “I’m pretty content with a 97”. Pretty content???!. I’d be the happiest person alive
@RapaRama lol stfu u still need 95 above.
McMaster health sci doesn't look at extracurriculars for applications tho
McMaster health sci doesn’t care about extracurriculars
@@sulagnanandi thats good!
LOVING IT. Can’t wait for your next videos.
yooo your marks and ec's are insane 🤩
bro I love your videos...they make me want to go to Mac so bad
Sjsjaksnsks. I've been stuck in the low 90's and high 80's for years. Please do a video on taking notes and improving.
I concur!
All u have to do is not to stress and acc understand the material you’re learning. Doesn’t matter how many good notes u take, if u don’t understand it they’ll be useless. AND stress is another key factor. Stressing while test taking will acc ruin ur chances on getting any 100s. Control your breathing and you’ll be fine. Another helpful tip is to listen to calming (study music) while studying or doing homework so u make sure to stay stressfree during tests. ANDDDD if u don’t get something always ask a teacher as many questions as u have until u have a solid foundation. Watch CZcams videos, do anything so u make sure u understand!!! Best of luck to youuuu!

Yes stress is something I do need to fix. Thanks for the advice!
Drasti Patel except you only do get one chance. If I walk into a test without stress and get a 70, boom there goes my average.
Same
I wish I had done more extracurriculars, I moved to Canada from China to go to high school and honestly at the beginning I had no idea how important extracurriculars would be and how much they matter in applying for universities. I got involved in a few clubs but never paid much attention to them. Now I'm in grade 11 and realizing how much more I would have done if I knew in grade 9 and 10 how the Canadian University Application process worked. Blaming myself for not doing enough research and thinking ahead. :(
relax it’s not too late you still have time.
Could you do a video about how you got 90 in G12 chem? As in studying tips, routines you followed, note taking strategies etc.
Awesome video man!!! 🥰
It's literally just about having an easy English and science teachers.
Say the English teacher one, one more time, my goodness they take some good gas to dish such grades.
I graduated from high school in 2015 but I absolutely agree about English. I worked so hard to only get an 84 back then. And it must be worse now since grade inflation is so high + cheating back when there were online classes. Science is a BIT more fair because it’s based on the lecture and textbook content. Easier if you have past tests. But there was always that one teacher who put in more difficult questions. Some teachers also offered retests or extra credit while others didn’t. I’ve heard of students who got a high average in English like 100% and clearly they sucked up or charmed the teacher.
@@kevinjose6690deadass
geeez, you are amazing!!!!!!! quick question, how did you study for the waterloo math contests?
Honestly, these videos help alot!! im an international student!
Me too!
Bruh you were an international volunteer in Ghana that’s crazy no wonder you got in
Where do you list all your experience, accomplishments and awards? I'm referring to mcmaster bhs supplementary application
Hey thanks for the great info!! But i still dont know where i should mention extra curriculars
I am so screwed! There goes all my dreams cause no one was their to guide me. I am going into grade 12. I had a 90 average in Grade 11. I have literally NO EC’s. I have a part time job and thats it. Plus 40 hours of volunteer experience at children craft centres and camp. And additional 24 hours at a studio. Theres no hopes, I have no awards....nothing. Sometimes I get very jealous of others success , but at the end its your hard work. Congrats, however, how in the world did you manage your time? Like for real! I don’t want to sound like a downer, but is study and driving yourself to these admissions is all you did? Or did you have fun in a social life, if not that’s absolutely fine, but if you did! HOW? Like how can manage all of this!
Your grades are much more important than your ECs! If you have a mid 90 average in grade 12 then I'd say your set. There are also many other undergrad programs that you can apply to for health sciences. Don't give up! You got this. Success is relative, so don't delve so much into other people's successes. Good luck :)
Momina Butt Thanks, sounded motivating! Is just others success gets to me when I can’t share the same marks as them! At the same time its my lack in efforts too! I could’ve easily scored a 93 average this year, but didn’t bother putting in the efforts instead complained of others achieving the marks I wanted. Most of all, the self satisfication overdrive me. I was always like “I didn’t try” when I got a low mark, in reality with that being said, I truly didn’t however, I never got to know what marks I could’ve got if I tried. And most of all, I could know where to improve. I dug my own hole to bury myself!
@@poop2126 ofc!
hey man, don’t be so negative :( im currently torturing myself because i didn’t try my best in grade 11 T_T comparing to Jeanne Lin, i’m no one tbh. i’m trying to take summer school and improving my marks in grade 12 as much as i can. by the way, good luck to you too!
mac health sci does not look at ecs and awards. they only look at your grades and the supplementary app (essays)
Thank you for you video. Most helpful. For the Plan my gam year in Ghana, did you travel on your own or with a parent? Did it feel safe? Would a first year university student female be ok to go on their own or with a friend?
Hi I’m An International Student and I want to apply the Mac health sci but I don’t have Much Extracurriculars do you think it’s worth applying?Thanks for your feedback
hi! how did you find all the extracurriculars that you did? I can't find any extracurriculars to do and I'm scared:(
I need help. I want to apply for health sci for universities. I work and my grades are low 80s and up. What universities can I apply for? I know elite universities will be super hard and close to impossible to get into but I need alot of help.
hi, could you please make a video on study tips and how to get 90+ average? I’m struggling :(
On the application submission day, do we answer the option of our choice or do they randomly pick a question out of the ones provided?
hiii i love this video, does mcmaster have a biased for students who reside in ontario like other universities? 🥺
Did the ap help you during applications or only after?
Does the McMaster health and science program have any prerequisites
Was there anything you did/gained recognition for that got you the invite to the RespectEd group? How did you get the invite?
I tend to participate a lot during class and am pretty confident with my presentation skills, I think that’s why my teacher advocated for me and got me the invite
really random thing but i love your intro??
how did you apply for the Quarms program? I thought it was just for black and indigenous students?
Sorry, I provided the information incorrectly in my earlier edits, but anyway the reason she was able to apply is because in previous years it was open to students of all backgrounds. However, the current quota is only temporary and students of all backgrounds should be able to apply for next year.
U earned a sub man❤️
Anyyh tippsss for grade 12 physics and math? 😬
I mean you got a 97 and you’ve done everything out there to be done, you shouldn’t be surprised. Good for you :)
Part 2 is now up on my channel! Here's the link☺️: czcams.com/video/AGnW6dThJR8/video.html
can someone tell me the course code for healthcare?
Do u need to be indigenous or black for the quarms program
upload some info about the sup app please
I'm at an overall 94 do you think that’s enough for life sci at UofT
Yes of course! A 94 will get you into pretty much every life sci program in Ontario.
A friend of mine went there and she completely regrets it all i don't suggest that option but if u think it is good for u then thats great 👍
@@nasar202 why does she regret it
You are wonderful. is Math not needed? not notice that you mention it.
Can you do a video on studying tips and how you got those really high marks please? Thanks !
can you please do a video on how you study
Hi, I’m going into high school next year but I’m stuck between if I should take AP courses or IB courses. They’re each at different schools and I can’t decide which one I should take. Any tips please for which one I should take?
Do ib
@@sgssalowaz5987 ls the IB program better than AP courses?
Hannah Menhel I think so. I’m not too sure about the AP curriculum, but IB has a lot of content from first year uni. IB also allows you to have opportunities where you develop great life and academic skills (work management, networking, research). As I said, I’m not too knowledged on the AP curriculum, but from what I experienced, I really enjoyed IB.
@@sgssalowaz5987 thank you!
Do you think volunteer hours, extracurricular and awards affected a lot by getting in? (Mcmaster health science)
McMaster health Sci doesn’t care at all about what you do outside of school
hi, there
I'm also interested in mac health sci but I don't have many extracurriculars. Do you think it's worth applying?
hari3120 hari3120 really?thank goodness
Thanks for the plan your global advice
So... I’m not taking Physics at all. Bad idea?
Not at all! Physics in uni isn’t required by most med schools and I know a bunch of health sci kids who didn’t take physics and don’t plan on doing so in uni. However, if you do choose to take physics in uni, there’s a designated introductory physics course (atleast I know at McMaster there is) that’s meant for people who didn’t take physics in highschool☺️
Is there a big difference between McMaster health science versus McMaster Life Sciences especially in terms of getting into med school ?
Health science: welcome to med school
Life science: thanks for playing
@@torontoontario8387 man.. :(
@@torontoontario8387 oof
Not really, but health sciences prepare u a little bit better for med school compared to life sci, but overall it's not that big of a deal. And getting into health sci doesn't 100% guarantee you will get into med school, so I would say you have an equal chance of still getting into med school either way
Not really getting into med student is mostly dependent on your ability to keep your grades high in tougher university level courses + doing research, volunteering and relevant extra curriculars. But I’ve heard it’s easier to get higher grades in health Canada and there’s more group based assignments
if you don’t mind me asking, what was your average in grade ten
no Canadian university looks at any marks below grade 11
@@angel-xi6ieMcGill?
@@dearryuzaki no Canadian university
@@angel-xi6ie wth why do they say that they do 💀
@@dearryuzaki where do they say that
This is a really helpful video, hopefully you upload part 2 soon
It’s been uploaded!
@@JeanneLin im in the program now its full circle
What if you don’t have any awards, do you think I still have a shot. Also my school only provides Ap calculus, which I’m going to do 😬🙂I really want to get into the school. I’m form Saskatchewan btw 😁thank you.
McMaster health sci doesn't ask for awards or extracurriculars! (though I talked about my experience in Ghana for one of the questions). Not having a lot of AP classes or awards won't affect your chances of getting in so don't worry about that. Just try and get your GPA as high as possible and spend lots of time on the supplementary application.
Yo I am trying to go to McMaster health sci too, I am also from Saskatchewan, can I get your discord or something so we could talk
@@shayanahmed3613 omg so sorry I didn’t respond 🥺 I literally just went back to watch this video again and saw your reply..
how r u not in harvard
Hi, which school did you go to?
Wait, no math?
I'm shocked u didnt get into QuArms lol
Haha thanks! I don’t think my grades were high enough given how insanely competitive it is
@@JeanneLin that shit is more competitive than mac health sci lol
@@rafatisaac4553 For sure, they only take 10 people after all!
What is quarms
@@torontoontario8387 it's a 2 year pre-med undergrad program at Queens,, they literally only accept 10 people
ayeee HOSA gang
You are funny :)
Lmao 'DEMON'😂😂
Holy crap dude, I'm actually shocked by your grades. Honestly, the only mark that I think is good about my Grade 12 (Which I finished last semester) is Math which is 95. People are just bred differently. Wow, just wow.
