So I believe I am in somewhat of a tricky situation...
I was originally attending UofT in the fall but decided I did not want to go to school in Toronto. As a result, I applied for a few programs that still had spots open at other universities. They accept you based on your final results which will be uploaded to OUAC early-mid July. Although I believe my average should be sufficient for these programs, in the event that it is not, I was considering taking an online course over the summer to raise my top 6 average. The only problem is, I don't find out whether I have made it into the program until the middle of July in which case it would be too unrealistic to start and complete an entire online credit. So should I register now for the course or wait and see what happens? My average is maybe ~2% above the minimum required.

I would register and start completing the course regardless. It seems that you can only stand to gain from having completed it.

If you have doubts, it should be done.

If you've applied to multiple places from the OUAC summer referral list and are confident that you are above the requirement listed for all or almost all of them, you are probably pretty safe to get in somewhere. Particularly if there's a place you've applied to that you know you will be well above the requirements for (lets say you applied some places that list 80, you think you'll have about an 82%, but you've also applied a place or two that lists 75%). That being said, if there's one of your new choices that you'd really like to get into, and the others are backups, and you're 2% from the line for that one, taking the online credit now would be safer.
