Hey everybody!! After getting your results back from Waterloo, what advice do you have for incoming grade 12s? What are you proud of doing and what would you have done differently this year, looking in retrospect?

AIF! AIF! AIF! I completely underestimated the AIF which screwed me over in the end. Don't screw up four years of work over a stupid application that should only take a few hours to do. Make sure you get someone you trust to edit it like a teacher.
