to get the ontario scholar, do you have to have the TOP SIX 80% and above (counting gr. 12 courses completed in gr.11) OR is it 80%+ in each semester of grade 12?? my school website says the second one...but im pretty sure it is wrong..

It's top 6 of any grade 12 courses taken in your high school tenure.

It was an 80 % overall during your four years of high school when I graduated (2006).

It's not 80% over all 4 years. I want to say my understanding of it when I got it was that it was specifically the courses in my last year, but if that was the case it isn't anymore. The link provided indicates that it's 80% in the top 6 grade 12 credits (although they express it as a total of 480 marks over 6 courses). And if you have any grade 12 courses like Co-Op, O, etc. courses that don't count towards university admissions, those do count towards Ontario Scholar.
