Hi askastudent,
I am currently enrolled in an university in Vancouver, and I want to transfer to U of T (St. George) Criminology. Is it easier to transfer to social science than to other departments? Do you know how many people apply for criminology and how many people does U of T accept each year? My first term GPA is 3.17, second term is 3.4 and CGPA is 3.3 (all on a 4.33 scale). I was wondering what are my chances of getting in?
Thanks!

Hey hey!
According to admissions, most things that you’d be transferring to all call for the whole “solid B average,” so you SHOULD be fine. If we do the conversion, your CGPA becomes the equivalent of a UofT B/3.0, so yeah!
Now the hard part would probably be getting into the criminology major specifically. So on your application, as a transfer student from another university, criminology requires you to indicate them as your program of study. Then they ask for an overall average of 76%. You also need to have been granted at least four full transfer credits, half of which must be a combo of intro level courses on economics, history, philosophy, poli sci, psych, or sociology.
Seeing as you meet the minimum requirements, you have a chance to get in, but you ARE still competing with a lot of students, so I’d try to bump up that GPA as much as possible.
Good luck though!
xoxo,
