like, how particular is particular?
So, I stumbled across this website while Googling (Google is your best friend…sometimes) and found the answers to my questions. Well, most of them anyway. There is just one thing I want to clarify. I applied to the Humanities Program at UofT. The Viewbook says that the university pays particular attention to my English marks. Now, I ended up with an 82 in the course (bear with me, I know you don’t like to hear about marks), and with my teacher that is about the best mark ever (according to my guidence councilor). With a different teacher, I could have ended up with a 90. So, what are my chances? Is 82 considered scratch-my-eyes-out horrible or passable? I know that it isn’t spectacular, so I’m not even going to go there. I have exhausted all possible resources available to me. So, please help me out. Before I hemorrhage out of sheer anxiety.
Thanks much.
Cheers.

I know you (usually) give witty and/or useless and acerbic responses. But bear w/ me on this one! I’d like to go to law school (not Dalhousie’s) and my grades are steady 70s. While I’ve done everything in my power to improve them (i.e. writing centres, editing, turning essays in on time etc.) they have simply not budged any higher. All the while I’m being told idiots from UTSC/UTM are going to get the same degree as I do at St. George for less effort and that UofT bell curves like it’s a fetish. So my question is this: What on earth could I possibly do (other than dropping out) to do better and stay sane? MERCI BEAUCOUP!

operation ‘dunghill’
Say you fuck up majorly in your first two years of university, and do quite well (B+/A average) in your last two years, would grad schools still consider you a worthless pile of crap?

it’s a fox head/lion tail thing
well…. my marks are out & in one of my courses I got a 79/100 which as a grade is a B+, whats pisses me off (mmm a litlle) is that for one more mark I would get an A- instead of a B+ which inturn will boost my GPA by a 0.08/4 (something for me to brag about). can that be done? registrar…. prof???
????
thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuu -
this site very good. use!
Well I want to get in to Biomedical Science (Life Science) in UofT and im in my first semester of grade 12, midterms are being give next week and im expecting a mid to high 70s.
I have Bio 12 and my mark is in the 70s but i can pull it up to high 80s by final.. my worry is Advanced functions I have a low 50 is it possible if I pass with high 60’s or low 70’s and still have a chance to get in to UofT?
Ps. I still have 1 more 4u course where i have a high 80 and also next semester calculus, chemistry and engligh. Does Uni only look at the average of our 6 4U courses?

thank heavens i’m not you
Hi, i kind of stumbled upon this website by accident while googling what the hell am i going to do with my advanced functions mark. So i plan to go to U of T for life sciences or business, possibly even engineering :S So heres the story, i’ve been an awesome student my entire life and grade 12 comes along and i have no idea what the heck happened. Im still not sure about the courses i need but im sure that my advanced functions mark is not good enough, right now its at 50 i know ill need at least an 75+ if i want to get in. Can you give me any advice on what to do? I got a 95 in Data Management and my science marks last year were all 80s or 90s. Im pretty sure i cant drop Functions or take it in night school because what im looking into, they wont look at that. I need to know what courses U of T will look at for these programs, and what i will need to get in my courses. Im taking chemistry, biology, physics, advanced functions, calculus, english and world history. and i already took Data Management in Grade 11. Please HELP!!!

You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanely…
Where can I find class averages in each course? For example, I want to know what the class average was for AST101 and AST201. Also, do professors always have to do that bell curve grading system thing I keep hearing about? Do they do that for small classes, too?

honey, you’re headin’ down a one way street, and I’m goin’ on the other way, yes I do!
Hi
I am looking for clarification on GPA’s and marks.? Most sources just give a few GPA numbers then a range, and it jumps from 2.3, next? 2.7, next 3.0 and so on.
My GPA is 2.47. What mark (as in percentage) does this equal.? I know it’s a c+ or whatever but I’d like to know the actual number.
Thanks

to dream the impossible dream
Unlike all the over achievers that I have been seeing asking questions on this website worried as to whether or not the university of Toronto would accept their stellar grades. I am deeply sorry to say that I am but an average student who receives marks that range between the low to high 70s (although I do attain the rare low to mid 80 every once in a while and even rarer 90 that I have received once or twice.)
So here goes my dilemma:
It has always (really always) been my dream to be a dentist. The problem is although I have the brains to get stellar marks and get early acceptance into any university that I want–my marks have shown to say otherwise due to family issues).Question: Should I give it up (meaning is it too late)? OR should I keep striving towards my dream?
**and if you think I should keep striving for my dream do you think along with my application for admittance should I write a letter explaining my marks and my hardships. Will admissions officers understand?

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 -
Please stop asking me this question.
Hi!
I was accepted to utm for life sciences late march, and I’ve got my final exams in a few days. If i screw up during these exams, and i drop to an 86 average, will that affect my admittance? Also, what are the grade requirements for life sciences at utm?? -
Saskatchewan? Where’s that?
Hello,
first of all let me say how much I appreciate this. I’m doing the IB diploma course and I applied to life sciences at the St. George campus what is really freaking me out is my extremely low IB calculus mark (65%) but my advanced functions was a 95% and my overall average would be 87% I’m just wondering if Im basically disqualified because of calculus mark or would they consider looking at my IB points for admission?
?
Thanks,
Student from? Saskatchewan?
