fifth choice is the charm?

So I ranked Victoria College as my first choice and was expecting, at the least, that I would be able to get into my second choice (UC) if not my first. But as my luck would have it, I got into Woodsworth… My question is… WHY? Why wasn’t I given my second, or third or even fourth choice. I was looking for ward to the more 1800’s feel of St.George, not … Woodsworth.

Hey hey!

So this usually happens when you have an unfortunate combo of colleges that require you ranking them number one along with colleges with cut off grades that are too high to meet. So since you ranked Vic first, assuming you ranked Innis or Trinity as three and four, you were automatically just not considered by those other colleges.

I’m a little surprised that UC didn’t work out for you either though. I suppose they just raised their cut off grade unbelievably high for students who rank them as only number two.

Anyhow, you’re more than welcome to head over to Vic anyway — which, to be clear, looks more like something from the 1970s than the 1800s sooooo. You’ll probably have a class or two there at some point in your four years here, you can definitely have lunch at Wymilwood Cafe, and you can certainly borrow books from E.J. Pratt, the most quiet library I’ve ever been to. The colleges all offer the same sorts of services, so don’t be too sad. And really, Woodsworth is awesome! I’d say they have the prettiest buildings.

But congrats on getting in.

Cheers!
