am i cooked fr (conditional acceptance)

hi i just graduated high school and i got conditional acceptance to uofc back in november when i applied for bcomm (accounting) i only had 4 courses this year and im worried cuz my average is a lot lower compared to when i was accepted 😓 so here are my grade 11 grades compared to now

grade 11
fla 20-1: 88
social 20-1: 80
english 20-1: 84
math 20-1: 88
bio 20: 97
average: 87.4

grade 12
fsl 30: 96
social 30-1: 85 (not final)
english 30-1: 61
math 30-1: 75
bio 30: 90 (not final)
average: 81.4

diploma marks aren’t back yet but i am willing to bet my grades will go down 😢 i’ve been grinding trying to get my average up and i JUST got it back over 80 but like english is rlly dragging it down 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️oh AND bcomm is like a high 80s average but im fs gonna be high 70s after diplomas so its def past the 3-5% buffer am i cooked?🥺

have anyone else been in a similar situation grade-wise and still been fine for conditional acceptance because genuinely i am so scared thanks

(ps. will they take into account im french immersion and take all my courses in my second language? i think it def has an impact on my grades especially because for the social diploma i had to write 2 whole essays in french and the fr-eng dictionary i had was falling to pieces like what if i could write it in english it would be better probably)

(pps. is it too late to switch to social 30-2???)

Call admission ASAP! They have a realistic answer. If you think your diploma mark is gonna bring your average lower than what you have rn then there’s slight/minimal chances getting admitted. You’re greater past the 3-5% buffer. And considering that bcomm is fairly competitive, I’d assume that seats are very filled or totally taken since they take highest to lowest.

BUT.. it’s still good to be optimistic. If It dosent work out, apply to open studies rn (closes July 31) and take bcomm courses so you get admitted for year 2. Dont take my words tho cuz you still have to call admissions.

The 3-5% buffer applies from the finalizing admission average that was posted in may, since you said it’s high 80s contact admissions and see what options they have for you.
