    vic, the consolation prize…

    How is Vic..??

    I got accepted to U of T but I was really disappointed that I did not get into Trinity. I was kinda bitter because my friend who had a lower average got accepted (is it because of religious affliations or different program).. I am still kind of disappointed but as I talk more with people who know something about Vic. they say its alright. I really want to how the residency is like..

    paranoid oac student stalks postman for UofT mail

    Heya,
    Really appreciate this askastudent thing, it’s answered so many of my questions. Well, here’s another one: I’m in OAC, applying to UOFT. I haven’t gotten anything from U of T through the mail other than the Applications handbook and the UTAPS thing. My guidance counsellor/english teacher said that I should have gotten some kind of information form or something like that. Do you know if there is any other stuff that I’m supposed to be getting? I don’t trust my mail man, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some important form got lost. Thanks alot,

    commerce and trinity acceptance

    Is it not true the colleges differ from each other in different faculties? i mean, if i choose commerce as my major, i can choose any of the college as well?
    Will the amount of student influence my applying to UofT? e.g. Trinity will accept only 350 freshmen, dose it mean the chances there are less?

    ———————————————

    first: if you choose commerce as a major, you can belong to any college without being at a disadvantage. You will have the same academic opportunity, and classes, as students belonging to another college.
    second: if you apply to a college and do not get accepted into that specific one, then you will be considered for other colleges as well. you better check up on that last point to make sure I am not talking out of my ass.
    yes, trin is harder to get into. that is to say that the average needed for acceptance is higher. every college has a certain number of spots open to each stream of each program. for example, innis knows it’s allowed to let in so many humanities students and this many business students. the number for students does effect everyone’s chances of getting in, because they accept on a descending order of grades. what i mean is that the best, then second best, then third, down to the very lowest.
    cheers,

    probably not happening

    Hey there! I was wondering if it would be possible for me to transfer into U of T from high school after first semester; can I do this and how would I do so? My average is fairly high up there (93-96%) and I’m pretty sure I can handle university. I want to start early so I can have a few extra months in the summer to work. Anyway, if you can e-mail me back with an answer that would be great, your site’s awesome and may the force be with you.

    just show up and pretend you’re at UofT

    Do you know how long it can take before the last, last admission decision is made? I have been supplying all the materials your guys need, but as of date they haven’t responded with anything. All quiet. LAst time I checked, I was informed to wait between 2-6weeks. This is almost the 2nd month.Any other place I should follow up? Pliz don’t tell me to call the admission office. I know my marks are good enough to get me in. Take care.
