Hello,
I recently received a rejection letter stipulating a list of possible reasons why I was not admitted into humanities. I have since spoken with an admissions officer which lead to more confusion. The conversation and responses given, were convoluted, and I found it difficult to receive adequate assistance in pinpointing the exact cause for the rejection.
I have taken a few secondary school classes more then once, in hopes of increasing the grades, and do believe this to be the only viable conclusion for my inadequacies in attending UofT.
With that said, I was curious whether I would be considered for admittance, if I enrolled in another institution then requested a transfer to UofT? Or will my high school transcript and the first application attempt, become the major determinant to the admissions office decision process.
I should stipulate that my current average is 90%, and will be attending first year undergraduate studies this Fall 2015, at York.
Thanks.

hey there,
as i’ve said time and again, admissions is one of aska’s biggest blind spots. i don’t know, and have no way of discovering, exactly how admissions decisions are made. and hey, that’s probably a good thing. i don’t need to know what giant clerical error or oversight allowed me into this university, to be honest.
however, i do know that if you’ve taken secondary school classes to increase your average, and you then go to york before trying to transfer to uoft, that can only increase your chances of getting into uoft – assuming you do well in your first year at york.
as long as you meet program prerequisites for the program you’re planning on applying to, and you have at least a mid-B GPA in your first year, then you’re a “competitive applicant.”
best of luck with it. i would say, though, that if you are going to york: give it a chance! you may find that york has everything you need, and your plans for coming to uoft will start to seem?like nothing more than a bad dream.
cheers,
aska
