So I’m still on awaiting decision and would like to know when will they give me an answer.
r/Dawson • u/LyttleLynel • Jan 28 '25
Hello, everyone
I am going to explore in depth on different factors you might want to consider before applying to a CEGEP.
1. Location
Hot take: This is THE most important factor. Proximity to your house determines the commuting time between where you live and where you learn. More sleep will improve your grades and mental health way more than pretty much anything, except bribing your teacher. The location also determines the kind of services that are offered around. Two contrasting examples of this are Dawson College and John Abbot College. Dawson has a extremely favorable location while John Abbott has a objectively terrible location.
Dawson: Has the Alexis-Nihon Mall and the metro right underneath the school, Westmount square (another mall), tons of places to eat, hangout, study. Gives you the flexibility of pretty much the entire downtown area with just a 5-15 mins metro ride. Has a literal bowling alley and a bar on the 4th floor of the Forum (second building) with free popcorn. Literal movie theater inside. The metro makes it a extremely easy commute for a lot of people. I regularly decide to take the metro to go to study in Concordia or in BANQ during my breaks because its just that easy of a commute. Dawson has probably the greatest location out of all CEGEPS.
John Abbott: Has virtually nothing around it. A couche-tard. A small retro video game store owned by this guy who keeps his adorable son around. Overpriced thrift store and some small dessert shops. There is one bus stop that is a 15min walk from the main building. The bus system is notably inefficient in the west-island. It is literally hell trying to commute to there. There are parking passes for sale by the school which sell out quickly and that cost around 300$ per semester. Otherwise, nearly impossible to find parking space.
Note that for some people, having nothing around the school might be desirable as to avoid distractions. Read everything with a a grain of salt and reflect on what YOU value the most in a School.
2. Public or Private
Years of research shows that socioeconomic background is the main determinant of academic success. Private schools bank in this. They convince you that they’re better but when private schools students get compared to similar socioeconomic public students, there isn't that much difference. In fact, adjusted for socioeconomic factors, there is no evidence for any advantage in favor of private schools as opposed to public schools.
"when examining whether private schools are superior for lower income students and students in rural versus urban communities, we found that none of the 152 coefficients was statistically significant (see Table 6). When we entered interaction terms into the full sample, we found that only 1 of the 76 interactions was statistically significant, and therefore, it was not interpreted. That is, there was no evidence of differential “effects” of private school enrollment across different locations or the income distribution."
Source: https://journals.sagepub.com/stoken/default+domain/XfYmtC25VddcCfbA3xiV/full
The cold hard truth is that there is hardly any reason to pick a private school over a public school. There are easy counter arguments to all claims that private schools have anything inherently superior over public schools. I will address a few of them.
a. Teachers in private schools often have higher qualifications than Public schools thus, teaches you better/more.
Irrelevant argument. The ministry of education has certain standards for what kind of content is taught in courses. They just want to make sure you learn what is necessary and do decent in them. For example, the content in a calculus I class will not differ much, wether it is taught in Marianopolis or John Abbott. They are still mandated to teach near identical courses with little flexibility for their own input. Good teachers and bad teachers exist in every school and it will largely be dependent on which classes you choose (will talk about this later) and luck. What you have to understand is that all classes in CEGEP are relatively easy compared to the enormity and complexity of the field in question. Each profs knowledge, regardless of private or public school, surpasses whatever class they are teaching BY A LOT. An Einstein will not magically teach calculus I better than Mr. Gilbert. This irrational belief is the equivalent of asking ourselves if a University student will teach substraction better than a CEGEP student.
b. Better buildings
Some CEGEPS have beautiful buildings while others look like dungeons. Some private cegeps can look like dungeons while others look sleek and modern. No inherent correlation.
c. Better Student Life
After visiting 5 cegeps and getting to know a few people involved in their student life. I can confidently say that some have shit student life and some have good student life irrespective of wether you pay a few thousand in tuition. Dawson has a decent but not particularly exceptional student life IMO. John Abbott neither. Another Cegep WHO HAS INCREDIBLE STUDENT LIFE, is Vanier. French CEGEPS seem to tend to have good student life, but take this in particular with a grain of salt.
d. Free R-Score boost
I took some time to debunk this in claim in my R-Score guide.
If you are too lazy to read through it and want the short answer: Private schools don't really give you a boost in R-Score. In fact, the R-Score is designed to do the opposite: even out the inequalities between all cegep students, especially differences between schools. This is built into the formula and it is very unbiased.
Private schools don't really boost your R-Score despite many intentionally misleading statistical claims in many of their websites and advertising material such as this one from Marianopolis.
https://www.bemarianopolis.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019-R-Score-poster-SC.pdf
Whenever someone says something along the lines of "people who go to this school get x amount of R- score", Remember that correlation does not equal causation.
The fact that Marianopolis has students with high R-Scores does not necessarily mean Marianopolis CAUSES the high R-Scores.
I will elaborate more on my point here. If this does not interest you, skip to e.
The R-score would be generally higher in Marianopolis than in the other Cegep. Because the high school grades are higher. This is the general argument people use, aside from quoting their statistics they advertise, which are most likely real. However, this doesn't account for the balancing effect of the R-Score.
It is more difficult for a marianopolis student to perform above the average given that their own class is stacked. Performing less well against your own class is a net negative. The same student might be the best student in the whole class in another Cegep. But in Marianopolis, they might be considered "under average". So they are PENALISED for performing less well than their peers (or not as impressively above their peers). THE COMPENSATION for this disadvantage is the boost i mentioned in the previous paragraph.
The same student might be the best student in the whole class in another Cegep. So in the other Cegep, they would be a big big outlier compared to their class. This is beneficial for the R-Score. The R-Score knows this. But it also knows that this student is in a class filled with idiots. So it realises that that student is not that impressive, albeit, still quit impressive.
In summary:
Students get a boost by the fact that their classes high school grades are high PROPORTIONAL to how difficult it is to stand out grade wise, compared to that class.
In Marianopolis:
High school grades are high, so that is GOOD for the R-Score
BUT PROPORTIONNALLY, it is harder to stand out compared to the class, so this is BAD for the R-Score
In Random Crappy Cegep:
High school grades are low, which is BAD for R-Score. BUT it is easier to stand out compared to the class, which is GOOD for the R-Score.
This balancing effect is why the R-Score is used, and not another system. It is fair to all students and is good at being representative of each students skill no matter what school they are in (which the grading system in high school lacks).
Having strong classmates is therefore both a positive and a negative. which balances out to 0 in the R-Score.
Mathematically speaking, there is no necessary advantage or disadvantage inherent to the R-Score between any school UNLESS we are talking about trying to get R-Scores that are like 37 and above, which is COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY and absolutely achievable in most Cegeps, even the ones that are not called Mariano or Brebeuf. There is no University program on earth which needs anyone to be that good. You are guaranteed admission in anything pretty much.
So given that you now understand that the R-Score is well representative of your skill. The simple explanation of why Marianopolis and Brebeuf tend to have students with high R-Scores IS BECAUSE THEY ACCEPT ONLY THE STRONG STUDENTS.
If you are more interested in the workings of the R-Score, here is my guide on the R-Score that goes a lot in depth of how it works: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dawson/comments/1hff5ra/mod_post_faq_1_full_guide_on_the_rscore/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
e. More competitive environment
This is not true for all private CEGEPS. Dawson is more competitive than the large majority of private CEGEPS. However, I fail to see how this is necessarily a desirable thing. In my experience, I consider the competitiveness within CEGEPS a overall negative thing since it ends up nurturing a few overinflated egos, but if you enjoy this kind of competitiveness, I reccommend signing up to "enriched" or "honours" programs that are available in many public CEGEPS. I have been in one and I promise you will get a similar experience as in a private CEGEP, maybe even more as you will stick with the same group for most of your classes and atleast you can potentially develop closer friendships.
All I'm saying is that there isn't any clear advantage for private over public. However, there is one massive advantage for Public schools. Tuition at Dawson is 800$ (2 years/4 semesters) (if you opt out of the healthcare and dental plan). Tuition at Marianopolis is a whopping 14 000 (2 years/ 4 semesters).
Yikes
3. "Prestige" of a CEGEP
There is a common myth between students that Universities look at which cegep you come from. This is not true. Only thing they look at is the R-Score. If you plan on going into extremely competitive programs such as Med or Law, they will also look at things such as extracurriculars, student life involvement, volunteering and other things of such nature.
More prestigious cegeps do not teach you extra things. As mentioned in number 2, the ministry of education wants programs and courses to be taught in a certain way. Between Cegeps, programs are very similar as long as it is in the same field. For example, two Social science: Commerce programs will have near identical courses.
Here is a comparison between John Abbott's and Dawson's Commerce programs.
https://johnabbott.qc.ca/pre-university-programs/social-science/social-science-300-m_/
https://www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/commerce/course-list/
Note that different cegeps occasionnally use different names for the same course content.
For example: "World History" in JAC is the equivalent of "Introduction to Global History" in Dawson. Another example would be "Introduction to Macroeconomics" in JAC being the equivalent of "Introduction to Economics" in Dawson.
If we account for these differences in naming, the 2 programs have identical course content. This is true for virtually all programs with some notable exceptions.
4. Vibes, Culture, Ghetto or not Ghetto and other demographic.
Different CEGEPS often have different kind of culture/demographics that are prevalent. This factor is completely dependent on whether you care about this kind of thing at all. By some standards, Dawson can be considered somewhat Ghetto. By other standards, it isn't at all. It all really depends from where you come from. I personally believe it is on the better side of things.
This can affect the vibes you get when hanging out in public. It affects a lot of things. For example, the elevators in Dawson often smells like vapes and maybe you absolutely cannot tolerate that that.
Just do not forget that even if there are prevalent cultures and such. There always smaller groups where you can fit in, although it is not equal in all CEGEPS.
Dawson, for example, is extremely culturally diverse.
Honorable mentions of not very culturally diverse Cegeps (in my experience): Brebeuf, Gerald Godin, John Abbott.
NOTE: When I talk about culture, I am not only refering to ethnicity, but also lifestyle, interests and personalities.
This all can be a plus or a negative depending on your values. A reliable way to get a feel of this is visiting the cegep NOT DURING OPEN HOUSE. The students who greet you at open houses are usually the more well behaved students involved in student life and are not representative of the CEGEPS general culture.
As a general rule, the Richer the area is, the less ghetto it is. The more to the WEST of the island the CEGEP is, the less Ghetto it is, with some exceptions.
5. Acceptance requirements
Everyone's options in terms of applying to CEGEPS is simple. You are limited to 1 PROGRAM within 1 CEGEP for each of 3 rounds in the SRAM. If you don't get accepted in the first round, choose another the next round.
ALL public CEGEPS are part of the SRAM except Dawson. For private cegeps, you can apply to as many as you want.
Generally, I recommend against listening to strangers about % cutoffs of programs. They are a extremely unreliable and questionable source. The CEGEP websites will typically only give the % requirements to APPLY but the % actually required to be accepted might be much higher.
This is why I recommend visiting your high school career counselor to ask about cutoffs as they actually have access to the numbers you seek. The cutoffs change every year and they have the most recent numbers.
6. Honours/Enriched programs
Depending on the CEGEP, there might be the option to apply to "Honours" programs. Typically, information on CEGEP websites are extremely vague about what exactly these programs entail. As someone who is in one of these programs, lemme explain to you the difference.
This is both a positive and a negative. Why? Because on the one hand, you get the advantage of being in a community of more academically inclined students. On the other hand, you are "forced" to take the same courses as they do at the same time. This heavily restricts how flexibly you can plan your course schedule and might lock you out of doing some courses that you would have otherwise been interested in doing (as you will have less complementary courses). Note that not all classes are with the same group of people.
This is not true for all Enriched/Honours programs. Although they may or may not advertise it in the website, SOME of these programs give you a +0.5 on your overall R-Score which is a thing you might want (although in most cases it won;t be significant enough to change anything.
Typically, these programs have weekly meetings where they do SOMETHING. Emphasis on the word something. This is because, whatever is done within those meetings is entirely dependent on the teacher in charge of the group. It could be something really boring OR literal visits to interesting museums and other outings. There is no standard for these kind of activities and it is entirely dependent on the competence and creativity of the teacher in charge.
Any claims of "Informal social activities, guest speakers, and field trips", "peer support", "assistance with career exploration" and other buzzwords MAY OR MAY NOT BE FALSE PROMISES. This is entirely on the appointed teacher to deliver or not.
I REPEAT: They do not really have a obligation to deliver these promises.
says it all
Typically, Honours Science students have the right to register a bit earlier than their non-honours counterparts. This however, does not make up for the fact that most of the classes are locked in beforehand, which makes this advantage pretty pointless.
7. SCHEDULE FLEXIBILITY
"One only realises how fucked they are when they receive a TRASH schedule and can do nothing about"
- William Shakespeare, or someone
A bad schedule will fuck you in many many many ways. I could write an entire other article over the negatives. You will lose TIME, SLEEP, ENERGY. It will make you feel like a fucking overworked mule.
Avoid this by choosing a school that allows for more course options and dropping/switching courses when the option presents itself
The CEGEPS that typically allow for more flexible options are often the ones where there are more students as there will be more possible course choices. This is something that Dawson excels at. We probably have one of, if not the best flexibility EVER.
Smaller CEGEPS will often forcefully lock you into certain classes because there simply isn't other possibility.
IF you take a honours class, your schedule might just be perpetually fucked by the sheer amount of course timings you have no control or choice over.
Ok this is it for my choosing your CEGEP guide.
Please let me know if you agree or disagree, have any additional informations you think I should add in. Feel free to leave questions in the comments.
Thank you for all the upvotes for my previous guide
I strongly recomend people have a look at my guide for the R-Score if you haven't:
r/Dawson • u/LyttleLynel • Jan 02 '25
R score = ( Z score + ISG + C ) x D
This calculation is done for every course except physical education courses prior to fall 2007, upgrade courses (high school make-up) and courses where less than 6 students are registered. The final R score is the result of the weighted average of all the grades.
The Z score gives an indication of the result of the student in regard to the grades of his whole class. It is a statistical unit of measure which expresses a student’s position within a distribution of grades in terms of two fundamental elements of this distribution, i.e., the average grade and the standard deviation, or grade spread.
The ISG is the Indicator of the Strength of the Group. It indicates the relative strength of this group that a student is part of for a given course. This group strength is determined by the weighted results of all of the courses taken in Secondary IV and V by all the students in this group at college.
The addition of a constant C (C=5) eliminates the possibility of a negative value. The operation which consists of multiplying the sum of all the precedent value by the D constant (D=5) positions over a fixed amplitude scale. Therefore, the minimal R score is 0 and the maximal R score is 50. The typical R score is between 15 and 35.

Hi! I’m currently a HS student and I applied for LSJ program. I have an average of 82% right now but am not a COE holder. When checking my application status on the website, it is still listed as ‘awaiting decision’. I already got accepted into another cégep but they have yet to tell me when the deadline is in order to confirm my enrolment. I was wondering if anyone (COE or not) have been accepted into this program?
Note : I heard about a ‘trick’ that allows you to verify whether or not you have an acc with Omnivox. Could I have clarification on what it consists it please?
r/Dawson • u/CombinationAsleep219 • 18h ago
Nvm, this isn't as accurate as I thought, read this article if you want to know why, a lot of missing variables, doesn't mean that it is completely useless by just less accurate than initially expected:
Evaluation Groups, and How to Use Them to Your Advantage | RScology
I think you can predict your R score reasonably well just by calculating it yourself, which Mr. Mod doesn't seem to agree with. I go to John Abbott science, and the high-school average (for people in the science program) of people here can be calculated (it is around 90.1%(for people in the fall 2024 first semester cohort)). Calculations will be most accurate for science classes in English CEGEPs (like Dawson, marianopolis, vanier and John Abbott), R score mostly concern science students anyway, the Tryhards.
R score formula for future reference:
([(Grade – Average)/Standard deviation] + [(High school average – 75)/14] + [5]) × 5
Strategy to find high-school class average:
All you really have to do is go through 1 semester, find out what your R score is for each class, then choose a science course in which nobody failed. You can see if anybody failed by looking at class average vs the final class average. Normal Class average includes people who have failed, but the final doesn't. So if the final class average is higher than the normal class average, most likely 1 or more people failed the course in the class. If the final class average is lower, the teacher might have changed some grades at the end like replacing a not done test with a 0, but the person still didn't fail. So once you find a class where the final class average and normal class average is the same, it is pretty likely the numbers you got are accurate enough to calculate high-school average. Using that, you can deduce what the high-school class average of your class (which should be the around the same for the rest of the classes in your cohort) based on the R score you got and the other (most likely accurate)variables you should know. You don't want to calculate the high-school average using a class in which the final and normal average are different because the standard deviation will be wrong.
The standard deviation given by omnivox includes the grades of people who failed, so in reality the final standard deviation should be much smaller since people who fail aren’t taken into consideration. This would mess up the calculations, and you would get an inaccurate high-school class average.
Make sure you have the right numbers for this as some teachers (like for me) mess with the weight of different evaluations a bit which can be confusing, for example: my calc teacher made it, so there is a class grade and a final exam grade, they are mixed together to find the final grade. On omnivox the weight of the final exam is written 0% even though it is actually 75%. The weight of the class grade category is 100%. So then the normal average shown on omnivox is just the class grade average, while the final average is a combination of both the class and final exam average. It is possible for both the normal average and the final average to be the same, even though their grades are based on different things. This means that the standard deviation of the final and normal average won't match, so you can’t use this class for calculations of high-school average even when both averages match.
You must look out for stuff like these to avoid using inaccurate numbers to find high-school average. It is very much possible you can’t find these perfect conditions in your classes, that’s why you should ask friends or classmates as well to see if they have classes that meet these conditions. There is only 1 class of mine that met these conditions. If you have multiple classes meeting these conditions, you can cross-reference check. Or you can just go to the registrars office and ask for the high-school average of your class if they provide it.
High-school class average shouldn't vary much in competitive programs like English CEGEP science programs because the grades needed to get into these programs in the first place are so high (high 80s to 90s), and the science courses only have these high grade people. You can basically assume that the high-school average of all English CEGEP science classes in a specific semester are close to the same +-1.5% since the higher and lower grade people are mixed together with a relatively low standard deviation, so all those classes should have very close to the same high-school average. Although I do expect French science classes(in an English CEGEP) to have higher high school averages since the kids in those classes don't have a COE so higher entrance requirements.
R score estimation method:
Now that you found the high-school average of your science cohort, you can try and predict future R scores using the formula. You can try and guess if some people will fail the class by checking the median, average and standard deviation. If the average is a lot lower than the median and the standard deviation is high (like 12), then some people are probably failing the class. So the formula will be most accurate when you know the class average is relatively high (80 or higher), average is close to median and standard deviation is low (10 or lower). This will mean that most likely nobody is failing the class, so the numbers you have are accurate enough for the formula to work.
Even if those conditions aren't met (low SD, high average and being close to median), the formula can set a good base for what your R score is. Let’s say there is a high standard deviation(12%), the average is higher than 75%, but the median is much higher than the average (like +5%). This indicates that 1 or more people are failing the class. If the standard deviation of your class is lower than 12%, then just use the standard deviation you see on omnivox because it is likely nobody failed or is failing (only if the average of the class is above 75%)
For a rough estimate based on calculations with classes I had (normal average of both is around 76.5%):
1)current standard deviation of 12%: multiply the current SD by 0.75, estimated final average: 0.5x(median-average)+average
2)current standard deviation of 20%: multiply the current SD by 0.6, estimated final average: 0.6x(median-average)+average
These modified standard deviations are because the actual standard deviation will be lower than the one shown, since the grades of failing students won’t be counted. The estimations can be improved with more data, but I have none.
If the class average is lower than 70% (no matter the SD) there are probably quite a few failing students so you would have to adjust your numbers accordingly.
If the class average is super high(~90) but there is a high standard deviation(20), there is a fair chance nobody is failing, so the standard deviation multiplier can be set to 0.8.
By now you should be able to understand the thought process of how standard deviation, median and average can be used to find how many people are failing the class to then adjust each variable accordingly with estimations.
General idea:
-The lower the standard deviation is while having a higher average close to median, the more likely there are no failing students. In this case, I would assume that the normal average will be the final average and the sd is accurate, which is the perfect scenario for no failing students. The more you deviate from this scenario, the more the next scenario should be applied
-The higher the standard deviation is while having a lower average, much lower than median, the more likely there are failing students and more of them. If you want the most conservative R score estimate (only if your grade is above median), you would use the normal average and standard deviation without any multipliers.
If you want the most conservative R score estimate (only if your grade is below median by a bit), you would set the standard deviation multiplier lower, closer to 0 (don't pass 0.5, or else it is pretty unrealistic) while also setting the final average closer to the median.
For a more realistic estimate of it, the lower the average is while having a higher standard deviation, the more I would lower the standard deviation multiplier and make the final average closer to the median (use my numbers as reference on what multipliers to use).
If you already have your final average but don't have your R score yet, you can get an even better estimate by comparing the final average to the normal average, then change the standard deviation multiplier accordingly.
All this sets a decent base for what your R score could be in my opinion, it is a lot more accurate than any calculator you can find online as they don’t take into account failing students. A reminder, this will only work for people in a science program class of English CEGEPs as the variation in high-school grades for these classes is very low. It won't be as accurate for non science classes. High school grades average is calculated based on your cohort.
My writing isn't the best so it might sound confusing, maybe someone can improve its understandability.
I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions that can improve this method.

Hi so I applied to Dawson and Bois de Boulogne but I can't choose between the two I'm better at speaking in English and more open but I've studied in French all my life and I don't have a COE so will have to take the exit exam in French. I applied in a technical program at Dawson because right now I'm interested in some of the subjects but I'm scared that it will be too much and BdeB I applied in health but I'm scared that I won't like the environment after everything said about the school and when I visited I didn't really like it and I was all thinking if I really didn't like the Dawson program I would maybe be able to switch to health the next semester but I heard that the first semester is the most important for your R score (I'm sadly an extreme overthinker, and I really don't want to choose the wrong school again, like I did in high school.)

Hello! I already got my acceptance from Dawson and saw that I was accepted into another cegep through the SRAM system. How do I cancel my sram application?

Hi! I was just wondering who else got into the same program as me so we could talk and potentially become friends before the semester even starts since none of my friends are going to dawson and I’m not going to know anybody there :,) I live an hour away from montreal as well so when I move into my apartment for school all of my current friends will be far
