    am i a diplomat, yet?

    July 23, 2010

    Hi aska, i just had a few questions that you could probably easily help me with 😉 for thw IR program is it 4 years long like a bachelor plus the first year of getting the prerequisites? And do you think trinity is a good place to stay? And do u think financial aid helps enough? Cuz id b moving from ottawa to toronto which i love but residence is surely lotta money, although i am willing to live the experience and what courses do you suggest for first year? I mean i want to be a diplomat and travel all around the world 🙂 anyways thanks a lot for your help!! Hopefully you wont get too confused with my huge and unorganized paragraph 😛

    ———————————————

    This is a huge block of text, my friend. Hopefully university will help you learn how to write, minus things like “:P”. Is that a smiley face with its tongue sticking out? Askastudent is pre-emoticon.

    Let’s break your questions down.

    1. There’s no actual limit of how many years you’ll spending completing your IR program. The prerequisites for a Specialist are 13 courses (including two 400 level classes) and a Major merely seven courses. Study the calendar to see what courses you require. Some students manage to fulfill all their requirements in four years, some in six plus.

    2. You don’t have to be in Trinity College or Trinity residence in order to major in IR. It depends on what kind of residence experience you’re looking for. Innis, Victoria and Woodsworth all offer residences that are apartment style, rather than single or double rooms. That might be preferable. I believe that Trinity has finally gone co-ed, which is still an improvement on St. Michael’s College uber-Catholic environs.The college you apply to will want you to stay in their residence though, so consider that.

    3. It depends on what you can afford! If you are eligible for OSAP, it’s not a bad loan system. The interest rates are low, they sometimes forgive some of your cash and down the line, it will help you get “good credit.” (My credit is lousy.) Also look into scholarships and bursaries from the university. Your registar’s office and admissions and awards will help provide you with more information. If you are still in high school, check out studentawards.com.

    4. The requirements for IR first year are as follows: ECO 100/105Y1, HIST 103Y/TRN 150/151Y. Or two of VIC 181/183/184/185H1.

    Don’t forget your damn breadth requirements and look into First Year Seminars.

    Then, travel the world! (but don’t get caught)

    switching from engsci to IR with first year credits to spare

    July 5, 2010

    Hi Aska,

    I have just been accepted to UTSG, Faculty of Arts and Science. For the past two years, I was an Engineering student at U of T. The Transfer Credit office granted me 4.0 credits for 100 levels, and 0.5 for 200 level. How exactly does “no more than 6 100Y courses” mean? I plan to do a major in International Relations and another major in something else. Would a programme admission consider an Extra for programme requirements?

    ———————————————

    Basically in your 20-credit life as an arts/sci undergraduate at the University of Toronto, here are the rules to live by: no more than six 100 Y credits, at least six 300 + courses, with no more than 15 classes with the same program title (ENG, INI, etc.). There’s also some junk about breadth requirements and stuff that’s gets a little tricky when it comes to Specialists and Majors, but it’s all detailed on pg. 23 of your Calendar.

    You can, of course, do more than 6 100 classes, which given your switchover from Engineering to International Relations might be necessary if you haven’t fulfilled the first year introductory courses for the program. (These look to be either ECO 100/105, HIS 103 or of TRN 150/151 or two of VIC 181H/183H/184H/185H, an introductory language class or MAT133Y/137.) And we’re not even talking about your mysterious second major!

    You can take as many first year classes as you want, but only six are going to be counted towards your degree and your program. In the interest of completing your degree before you are 40, and not spending more money than you have to, I’d recommend meeting with your college registrar to advise you on picking the best classes for your program. You can contact the International Relations department here. Tell them do something about that stupid G20 ridiculousness we just endured, will ya?

    demographics are 100% pointless and 0% cool

    April 27, 2010

    Dear Ask a student,

    Hi, I’m an American student studying biology, and…to be honest I have a bunch of questions. I was admitted to Trinity, and I don’t really know much about it. However, I do know that the Trinity one program has social science programs…I was wondering if you could tell me what percentage of Trinity is life science/ physical science majors, and other majors..like..the arts! I was also wondering if you could tell me about the diversity on Trinity. My cousin attended St. Mike’s for journalism a few years ago and told me Trinity was more than 80% Caucasian. Since I grew up in New York City.. I wanted to attend a college that was preferably At least 40-50% Asian/Hispanic/ Middle Eastern/ International/ American Indian/ Black. And as stupid as this sounds, is there information about ratio’s on other demographics as a huge such as the percentage of male and female students, and the % of students who stay at Trinity. I was also wondering if it’s possible to switch out of Trinity..to lets say University College, and if UC does single dorms for freshman. My cousin also told me a rumor about how the science classes are huge, and the grading deflation is tough. Is that also true? It’s been my dream to go to Baylor or Stanford Medical School since I was like 10…this means I have to get a 4.0 unless it kills me. My other college options right now are Wellesley and Case Western, so I’m not dumb, but I’m not going to Harvard so I’m not crazy ridiculous smart…in America these two weeks were rejection/acceptance week, and right now I’m doubting my ability to be able to be the only one in the class with an A..if that’s how bad the deflation is. So I was wondering if you could confirm or deny the rumors. And, last question, how many freshman take summer classes ? I want to take a calculus course so I can take on physics and orgo chem. freshman year. Wait, I lied two more questions. Is there a mandatory core curriculum? Ie. freshman writing seminiar..some history classes..etc. And how much does U of T even cost for biology international students, i cant find an accurate amount anywhere.

    Thanks

    ———————————————

    Just in case you’ve been too busy dissecting worms to notice the current literary trend, paragraphs do exist, and you should use them. It’s really hard for me to read that wall of text without feeling like my eyes are going to start springing out of their sockets. Oh whoops, one of them’s popped out already.

    Anyway, you were wondering whether I could tell you the percentage of Trinity students that are:

    • in the arts vs. the sciences
    • Caucasian vs. Asian/Hispanic/ Middle Eastern/ International/American Indian/Black
    • male vs. female
    • commuters vs. residence kids

    My answer is a resounding no, for two reasons. First of all, I don’t know much about Trinity, and there is no way that I will be able to find out the about their demographics, unless I somehow hack into their database (I don’t even know if they even keep track of their own demographics). Second of all, I feel like you are making too big of a deal over this demographics business, when it shouldn’t be an issue that matters to you that much.

    I have heard that there are a lot of International Relations, life science, and Ethics students at Trinity. But this is just what I have heard, and you should take everything you’ve heard about Trinity with a grain of salt. Besides, there are a lot of life science students in every college. Trinity miiiiight attract a larger percentage of arts students because of their Trin One program, but again, that’s just a guess. Anyway, you are not going to be ONLY hanging out with people from your college. You’ll undoubtedly meet people in your program who are not going to be in your college, so I don’t see what the big hoo-ha is.

    Moving on to the race issue: honey, you’re going to be coming to Toronto. Last time I checked, Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. So there’s no reason to be scared that Trinity is somehow going to be non-multicultural. I highly doubt Trinity is 80% Caucasian, as you cousin claims. If you take a look at Cynthia’s Trinity article, the Dean of Trinity claims that their college is among the most culturally diverse colleges, with students from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I daresay that the Dean knows more about his college than a St. Mike’s student who probably just likes trashing Trinity.

    Male vs. female: This is a pointless question. There are males in University, and there are females in University. There are males in the real world and females in the real world. Big surprise there. It’s not like 99% of the students here are guys and 1% are girls. I don’t know what shelter you’ve been under, but you’re going to need to learn how to get along with both sexes. Moving on?

    Commuters vs. Res people: Trinity’s website says that there are approximately 425 students living in their residences, and approximately 1800 students total, so … around 24% of their students live on residence. Again, though, I don’t see what the big fuss is. You can make friends and get along with both commuters and people who live on res. UofT is an extremely diverse University, and your social circle doesn’t necessarily have to be from your college.

    Here are some more demographics that you might find helpful in your University choice. 70% of Trinity students prefer McDonald’s to Burger King. 24% of Trinity students prefer Firefox to Internet Explorer. 62% of Trinity students watched Avatar this year. 51% of Trinity students can’t tell the time. 100% of Trinity students think I’m pretty.

    Okay, I lied. I just made those up (except for the last one). But do you get my point? Why should demographics matter? You’re going to meet people of all shapes and sizes at University, wherever you go. At the end, UofT is an extremely diverse University in one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

    It is indeed possible to switch colleges. You can switch colleges after your first year (you can ask me how if you actually decide to switch after first year). Yes, UC has single dorms, but I don’t think ALL first-year students at UC get single dorms.

    Regarding grade deflation: personally, I’m from a small department (physics), so I haven’t really experienced this. I have, however, heard that the averages for 1st year life science courses usually end up at a C or C+. I’m guessing that perhaps around 10-20% of students (or more) in a class get A’s, so you will definitely not be striving to become the only person in the class with an A. Your claim that you need to get a 4.0 GPA unless it kills me? kind of worries me. It?s great that you have ambitious dreams, and it’s true that some med schools may be extremely harsh in their GPA cutoff. However, getting past that perfectionist mentality might make your undergraduate career more enjoyable (and isn?t that the important thing?). Just like the old saying ?no one ever died of a broken heart?, no one ever died of a B or two.

    Many first-year students take summer classes, and you can take up to 2 credits in the summer. I myself took a summer course last year. So yeah. It’s not that rare. Oh wait. Are you talking about the summer BEFORE your first year at UofT? If so, then that’s an issue you’re going to have to sort out with the Trinity registrar. Go email them and ask!

    There is no mandatory first-year curriculum. However, MOST (but not all) first-year life science students take two semesters of biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus. Breadth requirements do exist, but you don’t necessarily have to complete them all in first year. You CAN take first-year seminars, which are nice, small (24 students max) classes that can be used to fulfill your breadth requirements, but you don’t NEED do. Nothing’s mandatory.

    Your tuition depends on your college; some colleges have slightly higher fees than others. You can find last year’s tuition fees on this site. Last year, international students had to pay $23,415.78 CA (you’re under category ‘1.’ on that webpage); next year, the tuition might be a lil higher.

    Anyway, that’s about it. Hope this helps.

    aska one… trin zerooooooooo

    March 24, 2010
    Hey aska,I’m in grade 12 right now but I was planning on applying to the trin one program. My only question is that do you have to be part of trinity college to be in trin one?

    ——————————–

    No. You don’t. It says here that people of any college affiliation are eligible for admission into the program.

    …sounds like a scam to me though. Two whole credits, AND a corequisite? I’d rather take French. Or philosophy. Or chemistry. No offense, Trin.

    are you being serious, or are you a philosophy major making fun of me?

    January 25, 2010

    Okay, so I read through http://www.utoronto.ca/askastudent/aska2_colleges.htm and I still have a question. You said that Trinity is not for everyone, what do you really mean by that??

    ——————————–

    You know, I was really tempted to reply, “I dunno dear, why don’t you tell me what does your question REALLY mean?” But then I considered the possibility that you might actually be — Heaven forbid — serious. So I guess I have to answer your question.

    The post you linked was actually written by one of aska’s great-great-ancestors, but I can take a guess at what he or she meant when they said that Trinity college is not for everyone.

    Trinity is not for everyone, just like Innis, St. Mike’s, or New College are not for everyone. The fact is, there is no college that is a perfect fit for everyone. With any college, there may be some factors (for example, the social atmosphere or the location or the architecture) that cause incoming students to feel uncomfortable and out-of-place in their own college. For Trinity, some issues that could bug incoming students might be the “elitism” (whether imagined or real), the traditions held there, or small even things like the size of the college or the fact that their friends went to other colleges.

    The only way to really know if a college is ‘for you’ or not is to 1) visit the college and talk to the students there and see if you like the atmosphere, and then 2) actually make the decision to go there. I was just as confused as you when I made my decision; I decided to come to Innis – and it’s not always a perfect fit for me, but I’m enjoying my time here nonetheless. Should you discover that the college you initially chose isn’t the one that fits you, dear reader, you can always, always try to transfer colleges in second year. Got it? Good.

    For more info on picking colleges (and more specifically, Trinity), consult one of my more recent posts.

    should I go to Trinity? version 102 (now with monkeys)

    January 22, 2010

    You despise receiving the same questions, but bare with me. I’ve been reading everything I can come across about the colleges, and I’m still left utterly confused as to where I’d like to go. Since I want to study International Relations and apply to Trinity One, Trinity seemed like a good option. Then, I started reading different forums and even your answers simply to discover that it’s full of rich assholes who think they’re better than everyone else? I don’t consider myself to be an elitist dipshit and having to spend the next four years of my life with such really doesn’t constitute a good university experience for me. Obviously, i’ll meet a wide range of people and personalities at such a large university and city, yet I’m still concerned with living in a hostile environment like what I’ve read many believe it to be. Also, do you know where I could find pictures of Trinity residence? Since I’m from Norway, I don’t really have the opportunity to go on tour and see for myself. The only other residence I really like is Woodsworth, but I much prefer what Trinity offers, except for the nauseating thought of wearing a gown to dinner. If I choose Woodsworth I can’t be a part of Trinity activities, correct? Thank you!

    ——————————–

    Bare with you? Okay. *aska’s shirt comes off*

    What do you mean that’s not what you meant? Oh. You meant bear with you.

    Honestly, I think you’re making too big a deal out of the whole college thing. The college that you choose does not dictate the life you’re going to life for the next 4 years. You don’t even have to make friends from your college. You can *gasp* hang out with people from other colleges. Yes, it’s true that residence will affect a lot of your first-year experience, but if you don’t like your residence or college, you don’t have to take part in the activities that are there. Honestly, I don’t think living in residence is necessarily for everyone, anyway. I lived in residence in first year, but moved back home this year, and I’m still having a blast in University. Another thing to consider is that residence is impermanent and if you after a while, you find that the rez life (and the campus food) is not for you, you can always live somewhere else in second year – maybe you could rent an apartment in the city.

    What the college system does do is effectively split up the huge population of Arts and Science students into 7 main groups, so that the administration can provide you, me, and everyone else with more personal attention and help. Students are immature and vain creatures who think the world revolves around the courses they take and the marks they get, so more personal attention from staff = happier students.

    As for Trinity college being elitist, I can’t give you an honest opinion, because I am not a part of Trinity college. I have a few friends that belong to Trinity, and if the ‘elite attitude’ does exist, they don’t really seem to mind it much. I really doubt that everyone in the college is elitist and snobby, though. It’s just a stereotype. There has to be some people you can get along with.

    This is a webpage with good advice with choosing the colleges, and it even has links to 7 other articles, each with an independent review of the college and an interview with the students who live there! You might want to read some of those interviews; (especially the Trinity one). They’ll give you some good opinions and information.

    Also, you can check here for a virtual tour of Trinity College… enjoy! As well, here‘s another good site with virtual tours of several of the other colleges, too. You’ll have to use Internet explorer to view it though (I used Firefox and it didn’t work for me until I changed Internet browsers).

    If you choose Woodsworth, you can probably still attend some of the Trinity College events. I know my friend at Woodsworth College was part of Trinity One and even went to some of the Trinity dances. But of course, you won’t be able to attend events that are restricted to Trinity college students only.

    As far as the gown thing goes, I agree with you that it’s a nauseating thought, but at the end, it’s just a tradition. Be thankful you don’t go to a private university (ew). If you decide to go to Trinity you’ll honestly just have to suck it up. If that thought doesn’t sit well with ya, I suggest you go to another college. Anyway, if you find after first year that you made the wrong choice, you can always try to apply for a college transfer.

    Hey,
    I’m an eleventh grade girl at a Toronto school.
    I have a
    brother in second year at U of T Trin, and after visiting last weekend
    I realized that I love it, and that I really want to go there.
    Do you have any advice as to how I can impress admissions?
    My grades are low 90s, but I’ve heard that’s only average in terms of Trinity acceptance grades.
    And after being accepted into Trinity, how much more difficult is it to be accepted into Trinity One?
    Also if I like Trinity what other colleges should I be looking at that might be similar?
    You’re at Innis, how do you like it?
    Thank you soo much and it would mean so much if you replied!

    —————————————————

    Any idea how to impress admissions? Of course! Actually, I snuck myself into University. Of course, I had to give them a lot of money under the table (*hint hint nudge nudge wink wink*) and kiss their smelly feet, but it worked. Not everyone can pull off something like that though. A good, innocent student like you shouldn’t resort to such measures. In your case, good grades would certainly be a plus; perhaps you could mix that in with some extra-curricular activities. Of course, also remember to do your best on your Trin student profile. Try to portray yourself in a genuine way. I think that kind of attitude really comes across to admissions officers.

    As for how difficult it is to be admitted into Trin one, I have no idea. ?Seriously. Trin (as of all of UofT) kind of keeps their admissions info under wraps. I know I?m an amazingly talented person, but even something as awesome as I am doesn?t know everything. If you really want to get in, just apply?there?s no harm in trying. If any Trin reader has any advice or relevant experiences to share though, please feel free to speak up.

    I’m guessing that the average for entrance in the Trin One program is around low 90s though. But you can ask them if you want more info.

    If you really want Trinity, you MUST MUST MUST MUST rank them first on your application to UofT, or else they will not accept you. So if you like Trinity, you probably shouldn?t be looking at ?other colleges that might be similar?.

    But I guess you just want me to shut up and give you a straight answer. Okay, fine. But what do you like about Trin? Vic is similar to Trin in that both of them require student profiles to get in, and it has a Vic One program. If you like Trin architecture-wise, UC has similar-looking buildings… kinda. Population-wise, it?s similar to Innis, since both are small colleges.

    You have to decide what you really like about Trinity.

    Innis? I like Innis, but you might not have the same opinion as me?unless you?re a bot who sits at your computer answering up questions 24/7? then we?d just be made for each other.

    If not, then uhhh, you should definitely go visit some of the other colleges before you make a decision. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

    April 3, 2009

    Hi! Sorry to bother you, and I know this sounds a little too late, but I’m just curious if I have any chance of getting into Trinity College… These are my marks:

    English: 93
    Advanced Functions: 70
    Chemistry: 83
    Biology: 88
    Physics: 81
    Music: 91
    Calculus: 92
    Also a side note, I handed in my application, the one with pertaining questions, 10 minutes before my assigned due date. Will this affect my chances of becoming accepted at Trinity?
    Also, when is the last round of admission offers? (The last time Trinity will look at your marks)

    Thank you so much for your time!

    sorry, the grand scheme doesn’t include college preferences

    March 20, 2009



    My preference for colleges at U of T was as follows.
    1. Innis
    2. Trinity
    3. Victoria
    4. University/New
    5. etc.

    But I knew that if Trinity wasn’t listed as my number 1 they wouldn’t accept me. So I, thinking myself a clever young lad, decided to apply to Trinity as my number 1, with Innis as my number 2. I figured if I got into Trinity, but didn’t want to go there, I could still go into Innis.

    Now I’m hearing that Innis also requires being number 1. If I’m accepted into Trinity, do you think it’ll be possible to transfer from it to Innis?

    this is getting a little awkward…

    December 19, 2008

    So I’m a grade 12 student from Atlantic Canada who will be applying to U of T St George in the next week or so.? I’ve ranked Trinity College as my #1 choice on the OUAC application form, but I’m feeling a little bit nervous about my chances of being accepted here, seeing as its standards are higher than other colleges on the campus.? I’ve chosen Trinity because of its affiliation with the IR program, which is what I plan to study.
    On my latest report I’ve had the following marks:
    English- 92
    French- 88
    Theater Arts- 91
    World Issues- 93
    Trig (12 math)- 65

    I’m obviously not a math or science person.? My grade 11 marks reflect that, with an 11 physics mark of 61, part B of 11 math 68, and an 11 chem mark of 70.? The rest of my marks are in the 80’s and 90’s.
    At the other universities I am applying to, there is almost always a place on the application where you can include past achievements and participation in any activities, and I’ve noticed that there is nothing like this on the OUAC apps, which was something I was really counting on.? So I’m just kind of nervous about applying whenever so much is dependent on my marks.
    Do I have a reason to be so nervous?? It took me a really long time to convince my parents to let me apply to UofT and one thing we could really agree on was Trinity, so I’m really really hoping to be accepted here.? How do you think my chances are, considering?
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for the novel.? 🙂

    Sorry to interrupt your studying, especially now that it’s exam season and whatnot, but I really need your help! I’m a grade 12 student and I’ve received an acceptance from Trinity.However, all I’ve heard about it are negative things, and I feel kind of discouraged. Is it really THAT bad?

    Additionally, I’m interested in applying for the Major or Specialist International Relations program and it says that all I need is a GPA of 3.0 if I’m not mistaken.

    Given the competition though, I doubt that it’s a realistic mark to actually be admitted to the program. What mark do I truly need to actually get in?

    It means a lot to me, because I can’t seem to make up my mind on where to go!

    Thank you for your time, I really, really appreciate it! 🙂

    the divide that separates the innis rez from all the rest…and how to traverse it successfully

    June 7, 2002

    Do first year students planning on attending University of Toronto who
    live out of the Toronto receive priority with the residence of their
    choice? My overall average is 3% higher than last year’s minimum grade
    requirement for Humanities and Social Sciences, do I have a good chance
    of being accepted into Innis Residence? Is there an option on the Innis
    Residence Application form to request to share a room with a friend?
    Can a student who has been accepted to Trinity College live in Innis
    Residence?

    Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions. I hope
    to hear from you soon! Thank you!!
