hey aska quick question about uoft’s psych program. I was wondering just how hard it was to be admitted to the type 2L major program. I noticed on their website it’s an 80-84% average and it is limited enrolment so i was just wondering if it’s common for people to be declined?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/div>\n
hey there,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
i’m not gonna lie to you – psych is a very popular program. this means that it is also a very competitive<\/em> program. they didn’t used to list the average grade cut-off on the website, but i think so many people were confused as to why they’d not been accepted that they decided to make that information public<\/a>. which, to be honest, has been a wise move. it’s made my job a little bit easier.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
so yeah, it’s difficult to get in. HOWEVER, if you are ABOVE that 80-84% range, your chances are not terrible. i think the major reason so many people get turned away is because people will apply who are just<\/em> on the cut-off of a 75% in PSY100H1 (or an 80% for the specialist). the higher you are above the cut-off, the higher your chances.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
unfortunately, i don’t have a handy statistic about how many people get in versus how many people apply, but who knows – maybe more complaining from students will cause that to show up on the course calendar, too. think positive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
cheers,<\/div>\n
