Hello aska,<\/p>\n

So as a requirement for transfer admissions to UofT, I need at least a 70% in ENG4U. Unfortunately? I was an idiot in highschool and ended up with 3
\npercent below requirement. I have spent the past couple of days calling all campuses’ talking to different reps asking what I should do. However I keep getting different responses:<\/p>\n

One says I should take a second university English course<\/p>\n

One said I should try retaking ENG4U if I can<\/p>\n

And another said that since I’m a second year student, my two years of studies should cancel out my horrible mark. Oh and she said everyone else
\nis lying.<\/p>\n

I am frustrated at the fact that everyone keeps giving me different responses, and how their response applies to all campuses, and then I will
\nhear a different thing from someone else.<\/p>\n

So I’m writing this, hoping you know who’s telling the truth and who’s isn’t. Hopefully I just have to repeat ENG4U1 because I don’t have room for
\nan university english course and I can just take it online \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n

Hey there!<\/p>\n

Okay so at any point, whenever someone needs to look up admission requirements, I always recommend hitting up the Admissions page<\/a> where you get to specify your situation to figure out your needs.<\/p>\n

Now for you, I wouldn’t say anyone was lying<\/em> per se. Rather, they were probably confused. But from my own personal understanding, no, there won’t be any need to repeat a dreaded high school class. When it comes to transferring from another university, we always look at your grades at your current school and, more often than not, for a GPA in the B-range from said school — meaning not<\/em> your high school.<\/p>\n

But do answer the questions on the Admissions link I gave you to be absolutely clear.<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n
