    revamped trinity questions about early acceptance and college choices and all kinds of goodies…

    February 26, 2002

    1. How many students apply for Trinity?
    2. What is their acceptance rate? How many students get in residence and how many as day student?
    3. What if you ask for residence and don’t get into your choice of residence, is that mean they will allocate you anyone that is available instead? Or they will ask you if you want to be non-resident and still belong to that college?
    4. When is the dateline of changing the college?
    5. What is ‘April’ acceptance? ‘May’ acceptance? U of T makes the decision or us?

    well these girls like Trinity

    December 13, 2001

    Hi…we are two Trinity girls..first year..and we’ve been
    browsing through the website, and reading all the hate mail for Trinity. We
    just wanted to discuss how everyone believes Trinity is such a bad place. It’s
    a very, very tight-knit college, but just a little effort and socializing will
    pretty much guarantee that you’ll fit in. A lot of the kids that come here are
    well off, but there’s lots of “normal” kids here who just decided that
    Trinity had the best reputation and wanted to come here. There’s lots of
    tradition, but it really isn’t as serious as it sounds — most of the tradition
    is just more fun, college-type activities (i.e. more time to socialize) People
    may label us like a “cult”, but no one can really judge us until you
    come here — I’m sure there’s some people that don’t like it here, but doesn’t
    that happen at all colleges? It’s a great school, lots of support, lots of
    great, smart people, and so, I wish Trin didn’t have such a bad rep!
    you say that the “normal” kids go to trinity because it has the “best reputation”, but you wish that trin “didn’t have such a bad rep”. so if the “well off” kids are not “normal”, then what are they?

    thanks for feeding the fire,
    cheers,

    commerce and trinity acceptance

    November 29, 2001

    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?
    Thans

    ———————————————

    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.
