LOOKING FOR SOME HONEST ADVICE... VERY DESPERATE. PLEASE HELP!

Please stop being stressed, you have nothing to worry about!

An entrance scholarship adds nothing to anyone's application because admission committees see that damn near every single applicant has one - they're given out to so many students that having one (or not having one) will not make you stand out at all. As University continues you'll probably get automatic scholarships awarded to you if you have high grades (York does this). An entrance scholarship is about as special as someone in MasterChef America saying they can make a PB&J sandwich... okay, so can anyone else.

Please, don't stress about the scholarship, it is truly meaningless to any and all admission committees. What you should do is get ready to work your butt off for a high GPA, and keep an eye out for research opportunities. Get involved in some clubs, head over to volunteertoronto.ca and find a couple volunteering opportunities to get yourself involved in (remember, long term is better). Those are the things you should be thinking about, but for now just relax and know that you're going to be on a long journey that requires hard work. You'll be fine.
