    You Can Stuff Your Sorries in a Sack!

    August 5, 2008

    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

    Saskatchewan? Where’s that?

    June 13, 2008

    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?

    Hello, i am also concerned about the conditional offer admission. What would be considered a significant drop in marks? Moreover, excluding pre-requisire courses, does the utsg look at marks individual top 6 courses or just the top six overall averages? Thanks!

    Dear Aska,
    ?
    How does UofT feel about summer school classes? I want to go this summer to help bring up my chemistry mark – I didn’t fail, and it’s not even a horrible mark by most people’s standards ( I got an 80). I just want to bring it up and try to understand the subject more before I go to university. Also, I want to bring it up as much as possible to try and get an entrance scholarship (I’m really close!).Thanks!    ?

    I have a question regarding Academic Probation. I thought you needed a sessional GPA of 1.6 to be ok, not 1.7? Am I mistaking this for the other campuses (UTSC, UTM)?

    Also, is it possible to have your suspension removed? I know it’s a long shot, so I was just wondering if it has ever been done before and if so what are the circumstances?

    How lenient are TAs in bumping up your mark a couple of points?

    Thanks!

    LIFE ISN’T FAIR! BLAH BLAH BLAH!

    May 22, 2008

    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.

    Hi, i?m in grade 9, and want to do something in medicine. I want to become a doctor or such. I just want to know what are the cutoff marks (or what should my average be aroud) and how much do they look at grade 9 and 10 marks, if at all? Just a few questions, my avg. in gr. 9 is 97. What should be around in the senior grades. Also, how big a role does community service play. Is it as much of a deal as it is served up to be? Could u e-mail me the answers pls.? Also, if there is additional information you could give me I?d be very grateful. I was also thinking about a uniiversity such as U of T, McMaster, Western, etc.
    Thanks.?
