admissions

only utsg is blessed with a college system that confuses everyone

Dear Sir/Ma’am,I am an international student. I have submitted the application for U of T Mississauga and Scarborough. I have a few questions regarding my application to U of T 1) I would like to know whether I could make additions to my program choices selected during the application Now I would like to add International Relations as an additional program to my application. What should be the process for the this amendment? 2) I would like to clarify on ranking the colleges. Since, International Relations is only offered by the Trinity College, how am I suppose to rank the other colleges? 3) Kindly let me know what is the admission process for Early Admission Decision. 4) On the Join U of T website, it says required documents : Secondary/High School Mid-term Results. At my High School I have been given a official predicted score sheet based on my academic performance throughout the year. Can I submit the official predicted report instead of the Mid-Term Results, because the predicted mark is the latest academic information in my case ? Also, am I suppose to submit Year 9,10 and 11 results under this space? Thank you for your cooperation and support.

hey there,

1) don’t bother. despite the program choice you put on your application, you’re not actually going to be placed in that program in first year. you’ll be placed in a general stream (life science, humanities, etc.) and then you’ll have to apply to a specific program (subject POSt) after first year.

2) well, you SHOULDN’T rank colleges based on your program of interest. firstly, the program you’re interested in may change during the course of your first year. secondly, college affiliation isn’t really an academic thing. here are some things you might want to consider instead, when picking a college:

– residence (if you’re planning on living in residence)

– the kinds of activities offered by the college

– the location of the college

– the look of the college

– scholarships offered by the college

college one programs

– the FEEL of the COMMUNITY in the college

if you want to know more about this, you can start by reading through aska’s colleges tag.

3) early admission has already happened (it happens in december), so don’t worry about that.

4) definitely talk to a teacher/guidance counsellor about that. the process of sending documents varies a bit depending on which country you’re from, so your school, not the university, would know best about what needs to be sent and when.

finally, i just need to point this out in case i haven’t misunderstood. if you only applied to UTM and UTSC, and not to the St. George campus, then you won’t be able to apply to the international relations program (since that’s a St. George program), and you won’t be a member of a college, because the colleges are only for downtown students. so…if you didn’t apply to UTSG and you meant to, i would call enrolment services to try and sort that out.

cheers,

aska
