Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me what a good high school average would be to get into the BSc psych program at UofT? I’m currently at an 82%.
thanks!

hey there friend.
Let me explain you a thing about the university of Toronto. When you are admitted into the university, you are part of a general program – for you, that would be the Life Sciences BSc. The admission requirements for this program are six 4U/M courses including university English, Chemistry, Calculus and (recommended) Biology. If you have an average in these six courses that is in the low to mid eighties, you are eligible for admission. That means that you, my lil’ friend, just make it into the range of eligible averages. Something a bit higher would give you a better edge though, so keep trying as the year continues.
Once you’re at the university, you have a year to take all kinds of different courses. Explore different classes. Take up a weird hobby. Then, in April, you’ll get a chance to settle down into a major. You declare your subject POSt (program of study) at the end of first year, and this is when you either do or don’t get admitted into psychology. When you say psych, I assume you mean psychology major. The requirements for admission into this major are a 75% in PSY100H1 (so make sure you squeeze that course into all your explorations), a high school Calculus course, and any other 4.0 credits. The average of these courses will be used to determine whether or not you get in.
There’s no explicit average you need to get – but use your common sense. An average of 75% in PSY100H1 is the absolute MINIMUM, so the higher above that you can get, the better. This is a limited enrolment program, so if you’re gonna do this, do it properly. Go hard or go home.
And that’s just about everything you need to know! Hope to see your groovy face at uoft next year.
