Did all of you get accepted to UofT already? My S was nominated for LBP but hasn’t even been accepted by UofT. Is it normal ?
me neither !
however, I have heard that if one gets the scholarship, s/he automatically will get into university. lets hope it is like that 
which program ? engineering ?
Hi there!
I have done considerable research in this domain and have questioned both UofT and the Pearson Department. Here is a summary of what you need to know.
The Pearson department will evaluate your sons application for the scholarship as well as all of his transcript.(Yes, the same transcript UofTs admission officers will use to decide whether he gets in or not).
In a situation he is actually selected as one of the winners, the department will simply work with UofT in order to get him automatically admitted. Remember that it might be possible the Pearson department has selected him as a Scholar and UofT has not even evaluated his application yet.
So no need to worry.

Yes, Engeneering. Although it wasn’t his first choice. He just couldn’t find biology on the website. Would it be possible to change later, in case he does get the scholarship?
I’m struggling to understand this. If someone nominated by their school (based on academics, leadership etc), it is expected that the student will get admission in UofT. If they are not, the admission should not be based on scholarship committee recommendation. I thought scholarships and admissions committee are separate. Isn’t it?

I agree with it. My S got accepted in all Canadian universities we applied to already - total 4, but not UofT. If he got rejected through the regular process , to me it would seen very strange.
I have a question. Our guidance counselor applied for my S for LBP scholarship. Originally he was Intersted in genetic engineering, so he should have applied to faculty of arts and science/biology. But guidance counselor applied to engineering so he just went along. If he gets this scholarship, can he change to Faculty of Art and science before even starting the program or would it be impossible? Thanks
from what ive heard,you cant change your program with this scholarship
theyll only pay for your first choice at the time they make their decisions
did anyone get an email from them yet?
NOT YET THE WAITING IS DRIVING ME CRAZy

Hey! I applied for the scholarship but I haven’t yet received an admission… is this common? I’m just a little worried because UofT is my first choice university. Thanks!
Last year I saw first person posted who got accepted (on this board) was from India and he got the email April 9, around 3 am. After 15th April only rejection letters are sent out
I am hoping they will start sending out scholarships next week. Keeping fingers crossed.
