Hello aska!
\nSorry to interrupt your studying, especially now that it’s exam season and whatnot, but I really need your help! I’m a grade 12 student and I’ve received an acceptance from Trinity.However, all I’ve heard about it are negative things, and I feel kind of discouraged. Is it really THAT bad?<\/p>\n

Additionally, I’m interested in applying for the Major or Specialist International Relations program and it says that all I need is a GPA of 3.0 if I’m not mistaken.<\/p>\n

Given the competition though, I doubt that it’s a realistic mark to actually be admitted to the program. What mark do I truly need to actually get in?<\/p>\n

It means a lot to me, because I can’t seem to make up my mind on where to go!<\/p>\n

Thank you for your time, I really, really appreciate it! \ud83d\ude42<\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Well, don?t feel badly about interrupting my study time, because you didn?t.? <\/span>I took a month off from helping people like you.? <\/span>Heh!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

To get to the down and dirty about Trinity<\/st1:placename> College<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place> ? if you like tradition, gossip, secret societies, good parties, and Harry Potter, stay at Trin.? <\/span>If you don?t, I guess run for the hills.? <\/span>But because the college is so old, there?s a lot of scholarship and grant opportunities available.? <\/span>And they put on the best plays at U of T.? <\/span>(Yeah, I said it.? <\/span>Suck it, Hart House)? <\/span>Though, to get to a point of putting on the best productions, having such a huge history, and throwing the best parties, you?re going to get a lot of pompous douche bags running around the halls of your college.? <\/span>But, then again, can arrogance cleanse one?s soul?? <\/span>I leave that question for you, the reader to answer.? <\/span>But, coming from a fine arts discipline myself, I think it?s necessary to carry an air of self worth in your back pocket to unleash on unsuspecting Catty McCatterstons who deserve it every once and a while.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Also, your program of interest is within your college ? coincidence?? <\/span>I think not.? <\/span>This link<\/a> will provide you with all of the information that you need about your admission.? <\/span>Yes.? <\/span>You must complete a year of university first before getting into the program and you do need to maintain your GPA<\/a> at 3.00 if you want to do a specialist.? <\/span>To do a major, you need a 2.70.? <\/span>Both are very do-able.? <\/span><\/span>Like, 73% and up 70?s.? <\/span>And I say that to you, truly, madly, and deeply.? <\/span>We don?t do April Fools-esque jokes about academics online.? <\/span>Those are for chumps.<\/span> <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
