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!

That method?s not for everyone though, especially not a good, innocent student like you. In your case, good grades would certainly be a plus; perhaps you could mix that in with some extra-curricular activities and things that are personally meaningful to you. Of course, also remember to do your best on your Trin student profile.

Late answer, but hopefully this will be useful to anyone with similar questions in the future:
I’m in Trin and I took Trin One (IR). My marks in high school were low to mid-nineties. This seems to be the case with most Trin kids. As for Trin One specifically, I was told that admissions looks at 85% your entrance average, 15% your essay (the one on the separate Trin One application).
On impressing admissions… I had pretty average ECs. I was in a different club every year, volunteered at an elementary school for two years, that was about it. On the other hand, some of the other kids in Trin One were national debating champions. So I would say, do some ECs (you’ll definitely need them for other universities, anyway), but don’t stress yourself over it.
