hey there,<\/p>\n

alright, a coupla things. firstly, that link you’re looking at is outdated!<\/a> biiiiiig no-no. we’re in 2014 now, and you have to look at the current requirements on the 2013-14 calendar for economics<\/a>. your second issue is that you should only be looking at the economics major, because the requirements for different economics programs will likely not be the same.<\/p>\n

so, for 2013-14, admission to the major program requires completion of ECO100Y1\/105Y1 with at least a 67%\/80%, and MAT133Y1\/135H1+136H1\/137Y1\/157Y1 with at least a 63%\/60%+60%\/55%\/55%.<\/p>\n

now if you’re looking at those course codes and you have no idea what they mean, that makes sense, ’cause you’re from a different school. however, if you want to transfer into the program, you still need to have completed the equivalent of those prerequisites in your school. “but i don’t know what the equivalent courses are??!?!1??<\/a>” i hear you panic. well, ECO100Y1 and MAT133Y1 are very popular courses here at old u of t, and the school has graciously provided us with a chart<\/a> showing course equivalencies from a few major canadian universities.<\/p>\n

just scroll down to economics and mathematics – introduction to calculus, and see if your school has an equivalent course to ECO100Y1 and MAT133Y1. if it does, then you’re eligible to get transfer credit. if your school isn’t on the chart, read up on the uoft courses and see if any of the courses you’ve taken sort of match them. it’s not guaranteed, but you might still be granted transfer credit.<\/p>\n

so, let’s say you have the proper course equivalencies and you’re on your way to getting the minimum required mark in both ECO and MAT. now you’re eligible to apply to transfer into the program, but you’re still not guaranteed to get in. economics is a type 2 subject POSt<\/a>, which means that not everyone who applies to the program gets in – even if they’re from uoft.<\/p>\n

i hope that cleared up your confusion! and i look froward to maybe seeing your lovely face at uoft sometime soon *waggles eyebrows<\/a>*.<\/p>\n

best of luck,<\/p>\n
