Hey y’all, do Ontario universities look at extracurriculars/certifications etc in part to the application? I heard it’s only from grades and I am doing Full IB where my grades have flopped from 95’s in grade 9 and 10 to 70s and 80s. I want to get into health sciences, but I’m scared about my grades and I was hoping for my ecs to help a little bit as I try to rise my grades, but apparently they don’t look at all !!!! ( according to students gr 12 I’ve talked to)

So your next step was to ask random people on the internet? Instead of listening to hearsay or asking reddit, do your own research by going directly to the admissions websites of the programs you're interested in applying to and checking out their official requirements for yourself (and yes the vast majority of programs are grades only admission).
This website is a good starting point
but individual universities' websites are better.
I checked the websites but from my experience it doesn’t explicitly state .. do u have an idea of what section it’d be under? I will prob try calling or emailing them Edit: also thanks for the advice - you’re right. Lots of rumours go around my school
If there were a requirement for a supplemental application it would be listed in the admissions requirements. If nothing is listed then ECs are not a consideration for admission. Most programs are strictly grades based.
