Hey there! Will I have to state which program(s) I’m interested in when applying to the social science admission category, or any others for that matter? Thanks a lot \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

hi!<\/p>\n

i’m working from my memory here, but when i applied to u of t, i did have to include one program of interest in my application.<\/p>\n

there’s one big thing to note about that, though: you won’t be held to whatever program you choose, so try not to overthink it.<\/p>\n

first of all, the program you choose won’t be realistic anyway. unless you plan to pursue a specialist, you’ll need to complete more than one program to earn your degree<\/a>. when i applied, you could only select one program and i selected a minor. i could never have graduated with that selection.<\/p>\n

also, even after you’re admitted to u of t, you’ll still need to go through the subject POSt selection process after second year to actually become a student in your desired program(s). you can read more about that process here.<\/a><\/p>\n

why does the application process bother asking if all this is the case? i’m not sure. i selected a program affiliated with the college i applied for, in hopes that it would make me a better candidate for that college. i don’t know if that’s how things actually work, but if you want to try that strategy, you’re welcome to.<\/p>\n

i hope this clarifies things! again, i’m working from a memory that’s a few years old now, so if you know anyone who has applied to u of t more recently it may be worth checking the details over with them as well.<\/p>\n
