Does it matter if you took IB or not when applying to U of T, because my teacher said that Ontario universities only look at your Ontario credits. If so, is it worth it to take IB, struggle and get high marks. Also, if i do continue on with IB, i will not be able to take some courses which will help me in the field i am applying for, will this affect my acceptance in that certain field? For example, say i wanted to become a business man, and if i continue IB the only related courses i could take would be HL economics and HL/SL math, but if i drop-out, I could take more business courses. WIll this affect my acceptance into a business program in U of T?

I’m going to admit this straight up … I’m slightly confused by this question. I know, it’s like a guy asking for directions or a chick admitting she’s wrong, it’s just something that doesn’t happen often.
Here’s is what the website says are the requirement from IB:
Admission Requirements:
- The International Baccalaureate diploma including English HL or SL
- Prerequisite courses can be presented at either the Standard or Higher Level. Math SL or HL is required for programs with Math prerequisites. Math Studies is not acceptable.
- A Predicted score of 28 or more is required for a provisional offer of admission. More competitive programs require a higher predicted score.
- Final IB results must be sent to us electronically by the International Baccalaureate Office.
- Rotman Commerce at U of T St. George requires completion of an online Student Profile
This is where I got this information. U of T doesn’t care about business courses, just the ones they mark as prerequisites!
Hopefully this helps a bit. But on the slight (but slightly more than slight) chance that didn’t help give Admissions and Awards a shout [(416) 978-2190]
Peace out,
