Part One
Good afternoon,
I’m a first year student at a university in Quebec (an English one), I’ve applied to transfer to U of T St George and I’ve got a few questions. It
says that most transfer students have a B average. Mines a B- because of, well, my first semester at college ever. Will they toss my application in
the bin or wait to see a second round of marks from the winter semester? Also, if things turn out well and I get accepted, will I be admitted into
year 1 or year 2? Finally, I’ve requested to live in residence with Woodsworth as my first choice. Should I get a late acceptance, what are my
chances of there being space left in the residence? I hear it’s not everyone’s first choice which seems like good news for me.
THANKS GUYS!

Part Two
Hello again,
Sorry to bombard with emails but I have another question that I forgot to mention. Why are the admissions officers so hard to get a hold of? I’ve
tried calling the number on the admissions contact page every day at different times and I am constantly getting the busy signal. I’m trying to
contact someone to talk about my situation to because transferring is, to be melodramatic, a matter of life or death for me at the moment. Is there someone else I can contact that will actually pick up the phone?
I look forward to hearing back from you!!

Alrighty Meaghan, here we go
1) While they do stand by a firm B average, the admissions and awards website also states:
Admission consideration is based on your postsecondary studies and your most recent annual average, although we will review your entire academic record.
So there is still some hope based on the rest of your academic records.
2) Whether you are admitted into first or second year is based on how many credits that are transferred. If 3.5 or less credits are transferred, you will be considered to be in first year
3) First years are guaranteed a spot in residence (this may be different for transfer students), it will be harder to get in as a second but it really depends on how many first students apply.
intermission/4 shots-
4) The phone number for admissions and awards it: 416-978-2190. I called got a busy signal, waited 4 sec, called again and got through. If you really want to talk to someone repeat those steps until someone answers.
Good luck with your life or death situation.
Forever yours,
Aska
