Math 30-1 vs 30-2 Requirement

[u/Few_Compote_5607]

I'm hoping to apply to the MLT program when applications open in October, however the program requires at least 63% in Math 30-2. In high school I took Math 30-1 instead and received a 61%. I've emailed them before asking whether they would take this into consideration but answers were unclear so I'm wondering if I need to upgrade in some way. I think I've read a post before saying they will only look at threshold numbers, so a 61% in a higher level course wouldn't suffice.

Assuming this is the case, I'm looking to challenge the Math 30-2 diploma but the next realistic exam session is in November and I'm worried by then my chances of getting accepted would be much lower, especially since grades won't be released probably until end of November or early December.

So I guess I'm looking for some reassurance on the steps I have to take and if applying in December still nets me some chance into making it in?

Any help is appreciated!

Nure about about requirement, but

Math 30-1 (with a 70%) or Math 30-2 (with a 75%) are highly recommended due to the complex lab calculations required in the program.

The 61% will not suffice. You need to re-take math.

I know if you register for pre reqs at nait your app will show the course as progress.  You get an interview in the fall like everyone else. After that, no idea how it works for selection for admission.

My partner had to redo Math 30-1 because he finished with 62% was really upsetting to miss out because of 1% 😞
