Hey there,
I have currently completed my 12th from India. I would like to join
university of toronto,Mcgill university, York university or university of
British Columbia for undergraduation in business or finance. But due to
certain circumstances I have missed this year’s application deadline. So,
if I take a gap of a year and apply again next year, will the colleges
consider me or not due to the year off. I am an student with
With around 86% in 12th and 9 CGPA In 10th.
Regards from India

hello,
taking a gap year after your last year of high school will not affect your chances of getting into U of T. most of my friends that i’ve met at U of T took gap years before first year!
with regards to your GPA, i’m not familiar with the GPA scale in India since it is very different than the 4.0 scale we use here, but i would recommend that you look at this link which tells you the minimum requirements for students applying from India. GPA calculations are already quite tricky and since we are only familiar with the U of T scale, i think it’s best that we don’t try to convert/ translate your CGPA and let the pros at admissions do it.
the link says you will need: “All India Senior School Certificate (awarded by CBSE) or Indian School Certificate (awarded by CISCE). Year 12 State Board Exams with excellent results will also be considered on an individual basis.”
… none of that made any sense to me but i hope it made sense to you!
“excellent results”, of course, is super vague, and since you’re trying to get into rotman commerce, the admission requirements may be slightly different. here’s a link to rotman commerce’s admission requirements- make sure you scroll to the part about apply from high schools outside of canada! hope this helps!
have a wonderful gap year and make the most out of your time!
good luck with your application and we hope to see you here soon!
peace and love,
aska
