one thing that I don't understand is if admissions look for 90% in your first semester marks or the combination of marks (of your top 6)
if you haven't fasttracked, they can only get a snippet of where your marks lie
and do they care if you've taken calculus vs. data?

the admissions lady @ mac told me that the number of supplementaries which are actually read are 1500....and 3000 apply so that's half cut because they didn't meet the requirements!

they wait until midterm....so more ppl will get rejected after april 25th i think it is.....it's either calc, data, or the other one, so no it does not matter
