Hi.<\/p>\n

I’ve just been offered admission in the UTSC Co-op Social Sciences program.
\nThe thing is, I (motivated by a little less than a billion reasons), kind of changed my mind.
\nUh-oh.
\nAnyways, by the time I decided that I really wanted to apply to UTSG, it was past the application deadline.<\/p>\n

I called UT and was told that I should send them a nice letter telling them WHHYYYYY I failed to send in the application on time.
\nSo I did. Also, I included the fact that people in downtown offered me a place to stay AFTER I applied to UTSC, potentially reducing my financial burden by a couple thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Here’s what worries me: does the university only accept late applications from really top Asian students? Because I’m an average Asian student.<\/p>\n

Or do they mostly look at the reason for the late application and the content of the appeal itself?<\/p>\n

Thanks.<\/p>\n

From,<\/p>\n

Average Asian Student.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dear ASS,<\/p>\n

Let’s make one thing clear first – the fact that you are Asian has NOTHING to do with whether your late application will be accepted. By missing your deadline and not having that compelling a reason for changing your mind (you are not even an international student!), U of T might brush you aside for reasons as simple as you simply NOT COMPLETING A FORM ON TIME. Coupled with your average marks and average Asian ability, I have no idea whether or not the university will admit you. Have you made a more convincing case by meeting your possible college registar in person? Are there any last-minute strings you can pull? Try your hardest. It will just come down to whether you’ve made a convincing enough argument.<\/p>\n

Basically U of T is like a choosy girl. If a guy isn’t bending over backwards after he loses interest in being with her, it’s not really worth it to be give him a second chance. Please don’t use your race as a point of contention again. And welcome hopefully, ASS?<\/p>\n

Welcome.<\/p>\n
