admissions,  asia,  important dates

is u of t racist? huh.

Hi.

I’ve just been offered admission in the UTSC Co-op Social Sciences program.
The thing is, I (motivated by a little less than a billion reasons), kind of changed my mind.
Uh-oh.
Anyways, by the time I decided that I really wanted to apply to UTSG, it was past the application deadline.

I called UT and was told that I should send them a nice letter telling them WHHYYYYY I failed to send in the application on time.
So I did. Also, I included the fact that people in downtown offered me a place to stay AFTER I applied to UTSC, potentially reducing my financial burden by a couple thousand dollars.

Here’s what worries me: does the university only accept late applications from really top Asian students? Because I’m an average Asian student.

Or do they mostly look at the reason for the late application and the content of the appeal itself?

Thanks.

From,

Average Asian Student.

Dear ASS,

Let’s make one thing clear first – the fact that you are Asian has NOTHING to do with whether your late application will be accepted. By missing your deadline and not having that compelling a reason for changing your mind (you are not even an international student!), U of T might brush you aside for reasons as simple as you simply NOT COMPLETING A FORM ON TIME. Coupled with your average marks and average Asian ability, I have no idea whether or not the university will admit you. Have you made a more convincing case by meeting your possible college registar in person? Are there any last-minute strings you can pull? Try your hardest. It will just come down to whether you’ve made a convincing enough argument.

Basically U of T is like a choosy girl. If a guy isn’t bending over backwards after he loses interest in being with her, it’s not really worth it to be give him a second chance. Please don’t use your race as a point of contention again. And welcome hopefully, ASS?

Welcome.

xoxo, Askastudent
