What if I can't get into an Engineering program?

Hi, i am really interested in engineering field. I am in grade 11 but i am still sitting on 70s in my science and math class. I talk to my teacher and the problem is i have missed math skills in elementary therefore i get nervous when i approach subjects like physics. My overall average is 80% but it is not enough to go to Waterloo. I need to get 90% in my grade 12 year. And i really hard working on it. i don’t know if it is possible. I don’t what should i become i cannot get in to engineering program. Pls help!!!

    Hi Anupama,

    If you are committed to being an engineer, you may still be able to do it.  You can start by getting a tutor to help you catch up on your math skills.  If you are unable to get the grades you need for next year consider taking a year or two at a community college to brush up your math skills.  If you can demonstrate ability in that area you may be able to qualify for admittance later.  Good luck!
