    commercial failure


    Could I take MGTA03 AND MGTA04 at UTSC in place of RSM100 for the commerce program?
    Also, is it possible to apply to the program after this summer session? I didn’t plan on doing commerce but now I want to so I have to take the prerequisites during summer time. I also need to know if I’m even allowed to once I’m in second year.

    WHO DARE BE ME???

    Dear studentIask….(haha),

    I am in dire need of your genius!! I am in my second year but technically my first year credit-wise and my cGPA is 1.0 right now because I only took 2 credits worth last year and I failed two half-credit courses. If one of the credits (MGT120H1) is in the commerce department, will it carry over into my now Arts and Science degree? I’m now in psychology so does the faculty change matter cGPA and credit wise?

    You Can Stuff Your Sorries in a Sack!

    Hi Askastudent,I am a Commerce student. I have a few questions regarding to my November graduation.

    I am not doing so well in my program that I only have CGPA of 1.82. In order to graduate, I need at least 1.85. I know that I have to pull up my CGPA. But what would happen if my CGPA is still lower than 1.85?? Can I still graduate?

    Another thing is that I am leaving the country by the end of August and I want to take my graduation photo before that. Do you know where and to whom I could contact for graduation photo taking?? Also, after I have taken the graduation photo, is it possible to ask UT to send it to me to the place I live in?? By the way, I live in China.

    The last question is that I need to know all my marks before I leave the country. So do you know when is the earliest time I could check my mark on ROSI?? Is it a week after exam? or two weeks? If there is any mistake on the course mark, when is the earliest time I could get it corrected?

    By the way, does school close immediately after all summer exams are done??

    I am really sorry for leaving you a whole bunch of stupid questions, but I desperately need their answers so…

    Many many thanks and I will appreciate for your answers.

    Best,
    Natalie

    When I grow up I wanna be a doctor and a businessman and a physiotherapist and a princess!

    hey aska. is it possible to take classes and/or dual major across faculties? So can a life science student dual major or take classes with kinisieology or commerce? oh and have you heard any good things about the physical education and health program? I was planning on maybe doing that instead of the traditional life science premed route. Do people get into med school from that program and is it hard to keep up a high gpa?? thanks

    LIFE ISN’T FAIR! BLAH BLAH BLAH!

    Hi askastudent,
    I’m SO worried about my admission to commerce with a 75 English. Some people say 80 is really the cuttoff for English, is that true? My Calculus is 94 and average is 87.7, do i get cutoff just like that?

    Also it doesn’t seem fair cuz my friends whose English really is worse than me took English in summer school and private school and they got 85+ for a gr12 English mark.. although i’m happy for them that they got their commerce offer already.

    Thanks,
    C.

    You kids and your fast DSL modems. In my day we had phone lines and had to wait for things…

    Hi, askastudent.
    I’ve been searching everywhere and I cannot seem to find (either on the U of T
    website or otherwise) what exactly the cutoff is for the Commerce program.
    What kind of marks are needed to get into U of T Commerce?? Good ones,
    obviously, but how good? I’m currently a grade 12 student in Ontario and
    entering 2nd semester.? So far I have exactly 6 grade 12 U or M credits, and my
    marks are 80 (advanced functions), 85 (drama), 85 (english), 86 (history), 88
    (psychology), and 95 (law). This gives me an average of 86.5%.? Also, I’m
    taking Data Management and Calculus this semester, and hopefully i’ll get a 90
    in Data to bring my average up to an 88.? I’m just panicking because basically
    everbody and their mother is getting early acceptance to Ottawa U as well as
    scholarships, and nobody else that I know applied to U of T, so I really have
    nobody else to compare with/talk to. Please ease my fears, lest I end up at
    McMaster.
