Hiiii,
I’m going to Seneca for opticianry (with co-op), and it’s a 2 year program. I really REALLY wanted to get into UofT for Life Sciences, but my marks weren’t that good so I wasn’t able to. 🙁 Anyways, I was wondering if I have a possibility of being accepted into UofT for Life Sciences after finishing my college diploma? If yes, do they only look at the GPA or the specific courses I took at Seneca? Please helpp I really really really really want to get into UofT. :'( Any advice you can give me??
???????????????
hey there,
you can definitely apply from college. your admission information is here, but i’ll summarize it for you because i’m a NICE INTERNET PERSON. they are going to be considering:
1. your annual college GPA
2. your overall college GPA
3. whether you meet the prereqs of the program at the high school level (though “?[t]wo full college level semesters of an academic subject may be considered to satisfy a prerequisite.”)
so the courses do matter and the marks matter, during both years. if there are any prerequisites that you know you didn’t fulfil at the high school level, you may want to try and meet it at the college level, though of course course equivalency is always a tricky issue. if you want to verify the likelihood of you getting an equivalent credit for any course, i’d recommend contacting the transfer credit office.
i hope to see you around campus sometime soon, chum.
cheers,
