7. High School Average for RPN

   Outlandish replied to Outlandish's topic in CA Programs

   Thanks Melissa! Okay, I just went through the selection process for Algonquin college and it says they only use the average for the prerequisites as well. It's also a very competitive program in Ottawa so I won't be surprised if the cut-off average ...
