Hey Aska,This is killing me.
I want to get into Rotman commerce. My first semester has me taking law, advanced functions, and data. I’m going to finish with a 92 in law, but both maths at low 70s. Although functions isn’t a prerequisite to get into the program, will admissions look at my low mark as a slight against me. This leads me to what’s eating at me. Is it ok if I’m taking 5 courses in second semester, 5 courses that I plan will round out my top 6 courses? What I’m trying to ask is will these second semester courses hold equal value as first semester? If so, will they look at the second semester midterm marks to make the final decision? I’ve got hundreds of volunteer hours racked up and adequate extra curriculars.PLEASE ANSWER |

This is what the Rotman Commerce website says
Most offers of admission are made in late-May. By this time, Rotman Commerce and the University of Toronto will have received comprehensive information regarding your academic record, extra-curricular involvement and personal statement. This timeline ensures that we have sufficient information on which to base our admissions decision and that applicants are evaluated concurrently.
A small number of early offers are extended in February of each year to exceptional applicants. To be considered for an early offer, you must submit your personal statement (i.e., the Rotman Commerce Personal Statement) no later than January 30, 2012.
So it would seem that early acceptence would be based on grade 11 marks and first semester of grade 12 marks. It would make sense that the regular admission put out in May would be on your grade 12 first semester and midterm second semester marks. All admission offesr will be conditionary on completion of your grade 12 marks.
Rotman’s website also states:
Minimum admission requirements:
- Completion of an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, with six Grade 12 U/M subjects including English 4U and Calculus & Vectors 4U. (NOTE: It is expected that all students will have completed Advanced Functions as a co-requisite or prerequisite for Calculus & Vectors. However, in calculating your average for admission, the Faculty of Arts & Science will use the top four highest marks after ENG4U and MCV4U. Please note, Rotman Commerce does not accept repeated courses.
- An average in the mid- to high-80s on your six Grade 12 courses (including ENG4U and MCV4U).
- Completion of the Rotman Commerce Personal Statement (i.e., the supplemental application).
So they will choose your highest 4U courses. It will be ENG4U, MCV4U and the 4 next highest. So if those two 70 something maths are your lowest they will not be included.
Good luck you little math minx.
forever faithful (most of the time),
