Hi!
First off, I’d like to say thank you for having a website like this up and running! 🙂 It’s awesome.
Anyways, so I’m a full-time grade 12 student this year, and I’ve already applied to U of T. My application has been in the system for quite some time now, and was displaying all of my information correctly until this semester began. I am taking an eLearning course through TDSB, so it goes into my day school timetable and the homeschool that I’m taking it through has to share my information and what not with my homeschool. But through all of this, on the join utoronto portal for future students, my actual homeschool has been replaced with the school that I’m taking my eLearning course through. Basically they’re saying I don’t go to my homeschool. =(
I just wanted to know if this is something of immediate importance. My guidance counsellor has phoned U of T admissions countless times, but they haven’t gotten back to her over this past week. She’s also sent them an e-mail and they haven’t responded. Should I visit admissions myself in person and have this rectified? Or, should I just stop worrying? Does U of T look at the high school you go to? I just wanted to correct it because well, it is incorrect, and I think it should be fixed, but please let me know. You are the all knowing experts! =)
Thanks in advance.
You’re awesome,
S

Hey S,
I’m not going to lie, the first time I read through the question my cool, collected nature panicked momentarily for you. After reading it again, I don’t think that it’s too big of a deal. U of T doesn’t preference what school you attended. As long as the information is correct on OUAC, I wouldn’t be all that concerned because they are the ones that send your marks out to the schools.
Saying that, this is your admissions to university on the line. If you live in Toronto, I think stopping my admissions and awards might put your mind at ease. If not, why don’t you just give admissions a shout: (416) 978-2190. Just take an hour and call them non-stop until you get through. I’ve never had an issue getting through, so it seems strange your counsellor couldn’t. I don’t want you to chew your nails off in panic, but this is something you might want to settle sooner rather than later.
