Hey aska,
I’m in grade 12 and I’ve been looking through the site to answer my questions. I just have one slightly more specific question that I would like to ask. I want to go into U of T Co-op Management and I’m not too worried about the admission average (which is mid 80’s). However, I heard that for the prerequisite courses (English, Advanced Functions, Calculus), I would have to have a minimum mark in order to be even considered. Is that true? I heard the minimum mark is like 85 for those three courses. I’m currently getting slightly below 85 for AF, so I’m a bit worried. Even though there’s time to bring it up, the tests have been killer. Any advice/help/answers will be appreciated!!!
Thank you!

I?m 95% sure that UTSC doesn?t have a minimum mark for those three courses. There’s nothing in the viewbook that says anything about a minimum grade in Calculus or English at all, nor does it say that “particular attention” will be paid towards that courses. That?s not to say that someone with C?s in Calc and English will get in, but I?m quite sure that they won?t reject someone just for getting, say, an 84 in English and Calculus, as long as the other marks included in their Top 6 courses are quite high.
By the way, I heard that cows are blue. Okay, I’m just kidding. But my advice to you is to not believe instantly what you hear from other people – if there?s something you need to know, go ahead, take initiative, and contact the department. I’m going to contact UTSC too and if they say that there is a minimum mark, I’ll let you know.
