hey so i’ve applied as a transfer student to u of t for the fall and was wondering if you knew how many transfer they accept for second year? I have a 3.2 GPA and pretty strong grades from this year. I’m just waiting to hear back as my final transcript was send off today.

hey there,
the most recent data i could find about this is from 2008, so the numbers have definitely changed since then, but this can probably give you a general idea of the acceptance rate.
so out of 4429 applicants to transfer in 2008, 768 registered at uoft. that’s a 17.3% registration rate. that said, a higher GPA will increase the likelihood of your acceptance. since competitive applicants usually have a B average,?you qualify as competitive with a CGPA of 3.2. a higher AGPA will help, obviously, but i don’t know your exact chances. there’s just no way of telling whether or not you’ll get in, but – as tyra banks would say – you’re still in the running.
while you wait for a decision, may i suggest some ways to pass the time?
1. play?scrabble with a group of friends. pro tip: play using made-up words, where the word counts if you can make up a convincing definition for it. the game will almost certainly devolve into anarchy; it’ll be a blast.
2. go into a field and talk to some daisies, alice in wonderland style.
3. pretend to be a dog. write a diary entry about your greatest grievances.
4. go to the opera with a friend and, in the lobby before the show starts, exclaim loudly every five minutes, “what does this fancy place have that a good, old-fashioned hoe-down don’t!?” see how long it takes to be escorted off the premises.*
i hope to see you on campus in the fall!
