<\/p>\nHey aska,<\/p>\n
I am going to apply for CCIT next month for Technology, Coding and Society at University of Toronto Mississauga campus and my average is 78% Would I be fine with applying with that average or should I try to boost up my average?<\/p>\n
And also aska,<\/p>\n
Will be a Non Ontario student and applying late January affect my chance of admission?<\/p>\n
hey there,<\/p>\n
ok we’re starting the year off with a banger, another admissions question. let the slayage begin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
so you want to apply for CCIT and have a 78% average.<\/p>\n
first off, i just want to make sure that you calculated this average the same way U of T calculates your average.<\/p>\n
because according to the CCIT info page<\/a>, your overall admissions average is not just the average of all your marks. instead, it’s calculated using your mark in english plus five of your top academic courses \u2014 so it’s only an average of six courses.<\/p>\n they say this average should be around the mid to high 70’s if you want to be a competitive applicant, and you’re definitely in that range, which is great. meanwhile, on the info page for general admissions<\/a>, it says you’ll need a minimum mark of 70% in grade 12 level english and a minimum overall average of 75%.<\/p>\n however, they also say that the mid-70’s estimate is just a guideline based on the previous academic year, rather than a strict cut-off for admissions. so take from that what you will.<\/p>\n based on all of that, if the average of your english mark and top 5 marks is 78% and you have over a 70% in english, you’re theoretically fine. but if you want my person opinion, it wouldn’t hurt to do your best to boost your average as much as you can? because U of T is always saying stuff along the lines of “just because you have these guidelines marks is not a guarantee that you’ll get in”.<\/p>\n my take is that 78% is sort of toeing the line and the higher your average is, the more likely your chances are. so if you’re able to push and get that average a few percents higher, i think that would only help secure your spot. but there’s also no need to panic or stress a lot since you are <\/em>already in the competitive range. so, up to you.<\/p>\n to answer your last bit, no, from what i’ve been told, being a non ontario student will not affect your chances of admission at all. you can see on the general admissions page i previously linked that the admissions requirements are as the same no matter where you went to high school.<\/p>\n![\"Colby](\"https:\/\/media3.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExczRvYmVhMmJodXJ5ZHkxbm8yb2NteTZybXFhMmM1OHZjb2R5NmFteCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/mFYarrJU3ywdA1M8oT\/giphy.gif\")
