I have a question, when should I hear back from U of T? I am close to the end of my degree in Sociology and Anthropology. I am switching majors into psychology or Neuro. I chose both options. I had a 3.77 GPA annual average and this year it is 3.9 so far. However the catch is I am taking my last math now. I fucked up my previous math in college. Other than that my cumulative GPA average is 3.40. After I am done this semester, it should jump up to 3.65 average overall because I am retaking a course I fucked up. What do you think my odds are of getting in?Sincerely,A Montrealer whose scared<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

ahhh, i’ve missed these “am i going to get in???” questions. they’re comfortable and familiar, you know? like your favourite pair of bootie slippers.<\/p>\n

alright friend, i understand that transferring is a very nerve-wracking situation. believe me, i was exactly where you are this time last year. however, your GPA is in pretty good shape. Uoft transfer students usually have a solid ‘B’ average<\/a>, and you’re already well above that, even if you stay at a 3.40.<\/p>\n

of course, you’re looking to get into specific programs, and they might be a little more difficult to get into. however, if you’re looking to get into the neuroscience major, that shouldn’t present many problems. as long as you’ve completed the appropriate first-year courses<\/a>, you should be fine. the neuroscience major is a type 1 subject POSt<\/a>?(just ctrl+f neuroscience), meaning there’s unlimited enrolment. translated from uoft jargon, that means that you’ve got no competition. as long as you meet the requirements, you’re in.<\/p>\n

the psychology major is a type 2L subject POSt<\/a>, meaning not everyone who fulfils the requirements gets in. you can take a look at the requirements here<\/a>?to see how you measure up. basically, it all depends on how well you did in your equivalent of PSY100.<\/p>\n

the one thing i want to mention is that if you’re ‘nearing the end of your degree,’ i’m thinking that you’re in your third or fourth year, so you’ll only be eligible for a maximum of five transfer credits<\/a>. meaning you might have to stay at school a little longer to finish this degree. just a heads up.<\/p>\n

good luck! hope to see you groovin’<\/a> on campus soon.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n

P.S. You’ll probably hear from them in late to mid-March!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
