Hi aska~
\nI am a student in Alberta and am interested in applying to UT in engineering. Since I am a ESL student, I took the toefl test and got a mark
\nof 106 (required 100). My average without english would therefore booms to be about 93. I do have some volunteering work, part time job or acdemic contests experience, but I’m still a little worried about the chance I can get in UT into engineering because UT does not admit a lot of girls for engineering. So do you know how likely would I be admitted? and should I try to make a higher mark in toefl test?<\/p>\n

???????????????<\/p>\n

Yo Yo,
\nI want to say this in the nicest way possible, but have you followed in Walt Disney’s foot steps and been frozen for the last couple of decades and finally warmed up. Canada in the 21st century does not discriminate against females in post secondary institutions<\/p>\n

I … just …i’m not sure where you got your information, but its incorrect.<\/p>\n

Ok … your admission to the University of Toronto has nothing to do with your gender. Males and females are equally capable of becoming an engineer as long as they are willing to paint their face purple.<\/p>\n

So focus on your grades and not a sex change.<\/p>\n

BUT on a positive note … 93 is a relatively good average. Contact the department of engineering<\/a> and ask them for their grade range for admission. The cutoff grade changes each year depending on the competition.<\/p>\n

Love Always,
\nAska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
