Hello, I am interested in applying to the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto. I would like to know which campus offers the best program for that. Additionally, I would like to inquire if it is possible to apply for admission immediately after completing Grade 11, with the potential for a conditional offer based on an average score above 95% in Grade 11 (through Tvo ILC), without having started Grade 12. And what will be the admission steps?<\/p>\n

\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. which campus is best<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    first of all, great question. it can be really hard to choose which uni and campus to attend, because that’s where you’ll live your life for the next four+ years. when i was at that stage, i felt a lot like this:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    i can tell you that psychology at U of T is going to be really good no matter which campus you choose. but if you wanted to know which one was best for that program, it really depends on what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n

    st. george is the biggest campus and it’s downtown. so that will mean it has more research opportunities in more areas, because of how connected the st. george campus is. like, there are a lot of U of T affiliated companies in different sectors that will take U of T undergrads looking for experience. the psychology has a great page where you can check out research opportunities here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    as for the other two campuses, i don’t know much about UTM, but UTSC in scarborough is known for being the co-op campus. so if you’re looking for co-op opportunities, that’s the place to be. for example, at UTSC you can take the co-op program in psychology<\/a>, which is a work integrated program that combines your studies with paid work. this can also be great if you want to earn some money while being a student.<\/p>\n

    i’d say both co-op opportunities and research opportunities are really important for psychology because it’s difficult to get job experience as an undergrad when you’re a psychology student. so it just depends on what you prefer.<\/p>\n

    meanwhile, you should also choose the campus based on its environment and how it would work for you, as each campus has different pros and cons. like, do you want to live in the downtown core? do you want to live in a smaller campus? do you like nature? noise? etc.<\/p>\n

    if you’re curious, you can check out this page<\/a> that goes over what makes each campus unique.<\/p>\n

    \"I<\/p>\n

    2. can you apply for admission now?<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"Celebrity<\/p>\n

    so unfortunately, it is not possible to apply for admission immediately after completing grade 11. this is because you need to be at least enrolled in grade 12 courses before you can be considered for admission.<\/p>\n

    according to the admission dates<\/a> page, the early application date is november 7 while the deadline is january 15. so you’ll have to wait for the fall of your senior year to apply, around late september or october. you can apply for early admissions even if your grade 12 marks are not out yet, but you do need to be in grade 12. there’s not really a way around that.<\/p>\n

    finally, if you’re still undecided on which campus to choose, i’d encourage you to reach out to a recruitment officer<\/a>, as they can probably tell you more psychology-specific things about each campus and help you make your decision.<\/p>\n

    anyways, hope this was helpful, good luck!!<\/p>\n

    over and out,<\/p>\n
