Heya! I’m applying for the Visual Studies program in the Daniel’s school.?I’m fairly worried about this application man, I have an 85 average as of?this term and my one idea supplementary was about designing a backpack (it?was a pretty cool backpack in my humble opinion). Damn, the program looks?horribly mysterious with its minimum online presence, so I was wondering if?you might have an idea of how my marks look for Visual Studies.
Thanks in advance!

hey there,
“minimum online presence”, talk about understatement of the century. every time i get a question related to architecture, i have to mentally prepare myself for that website. you’d think design people would know a bit about designing a functional website, huh?
but seriously, you shouldn’t be worrying about your application. your average is about as good as it gets. an 85% at uoft is a 4.0, you know that, right? that’s like, the highest possible?GPA, so…
also, that backpack sounds cool. you should make one and sell it to me discounted because i’m helping you out. did i mention you look lovely today? (i need a new backpack. i need a new lots of stuff, if we’re being real.)
tl;dr: i don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about.
yours and always open to anonymous backpack donations,
aska

I feel your pain and anxiety completely! I am already a UofT student in first year, just applied for an ‘internal transfer’ to the Architecture program. You’re right, the faculty website gives very minimal information on the requirements for the Visual Studies/Architectural Studies programs (perhaps because this is the first year the Daniels Faculty is independent from the rest of the humungous Arts & Science Faculty and are still in a transition period). Anyway, I know that some students submit letters of ‘special consideration’ when applying out of high school if their grades aren’t the best. The University often takes that into consideration. Having said that, they are both competitive programs, I am trying to find out if there are more open spaces for students now that Daniels is it’s own independent faculty (previously 200 per year). SO yeah, I don’t blame you if you are feeling anxious – I’m sure we all are!
