<\/p>\nI want to come to utsc for math, and I\u2019m really scared I won\u2019t be able to make it through, I currently have an average of 92.5 in high school (senior year). Are there any tips for me<\/p>\n

hello prospective fellow student!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
feels like this question tends to hover over the heads of everyone considering u of t. it sure hovered over mine, before i decided to just take the plunge and deal with whatever consequences might come. and so far… the school hasn’t been nearly as bad as i expected. i figure you’ve probably heard\/read a lot of horror stories, just like i did before i got here.<\/p>\n
i don’t know anything firsthand about utsc or math, to be honest. all i know is what my experience at utsg has been like– and it hasn’t been as terrible as i heard it would. i actually really like it here. with that said, i really want to stress that everyone’s experience at the university is different. i have the advantage (and it does matter) of loving my programs a lot, having a solid support network, and living on res. it also helped me to drop down to 4 courses my first semester, which– if you’re able to do it– is something i’d recommend. it helps with adjustment, yknow?<\/p>\n
previous askas have written some pretty solid posts on this i can link you to, on getting work done,<\/a> buttering up your profs,\u00a0<\/a> and using the resources at your disposal. <\/a>\u00a0these are probably the three biggest recommendations i’d make to you: develop a strong work ethic, engage with your instructors\/classes, and know what’s there at the university to help you make it through. as i said, i’m not too familiar with utsc but there are definitely supports there in place. just know that it’s not impossible to do well at u of t, no matter what reddit declares.<\/p>\n bottom line– scared you won’t make it through? chances are you’ll probably be all right, especially with that entering average. but i make no concrete promises or predictions. like a previous aska has put it, the experience will be what you make of it.<\/p>\n i’m planning to put up a comprehensive askastudent guide to surviving this uni, hopefully sometime soon (lord knows we need one). will link it in the comments below once it’s up.<\/p>\n cheers,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I want to come to utsc for math, and I\u2019m really scared I won\u2019t be able to make it through, I currently have an average of 92.5 in high school (senior year).
