Aloha~
So it’s that time of a the year again.
That lovely time when people settle for the school they got into and pine for something better. Something bigger. More congested. More expensive. More difficult to get into classes and get to classes. Something harder or more likely to raise their stress levels.
They pine for U of T.
That said, considering the weirdly huge number of questions ?I have sitting in my inbox on how to transfer from x university, I’m just going to make a very general sort of guide on how to make it to the promised land!
HOW TO TRANSFER TO UOFT:
Step 1: Decide your current school is lame.
Step 2: Realize that if you have any hope of making it through one of the greatest research institutes in the country, you should be damn well capable of doing your own research.
But doing your own research should take you to the lovely Admissions quiz thingie!
Step 3: Naturally, you apply.
I guess you do that through OUAC… This will probably require some transcripts and stuff, so make sure you get those.
Step 4: Sit tight and wait.
Step 5: When you get admitted, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR LETTER.
FOLLOW THEM.
FOLLOW THEM.
You’ll be given a spiel about what to do receive transfer credits and get into programs that you don’t technically have the prerequisites to. You’ll have to show the transfer credit office outlines for the courses you want credit for and indicate to them which Subject POSts you’re interested in.
Step 6: Wait for confirmation about your transfer credits. That’ll happen around… June? July? It’s really a case-by-case basis sort of thing.
A great thing for some of the typical first-year courses students indulge in (e.g. chem, bio, etc.) is that there’s this agreement of sorts between seven universities in which they all basically agree to accept each other’s version of x course.
Step 7: I think that’s it.
Yeah. Yeah that’s pretty much it.
So there ya go!
happy transferring,
