American-Canadian applying to the faculty of arts and sciences for a cs major.

High School Profile:
I go to a very competitive High School in New York, I had to take a test just to get in. The High School offers lots of courses that other schools don’t offer such as Drawing and design production (where I got my autocad certification), Digital electronics, Oracle SQL class, Web Development, AP Java, and cyber security(it offers a lot more but I only listed the ones I took). It’s one of the nine specialized high schools in nyc and its harder than other high schools so my GPA is lower, sadly, but my school said that the high school profile that they send to colleges will make colleges understand that this is a very competitive school and the lower GPA would be more understandable.

Trying to major in comp sci, chance me guys, and thank you!

U of T computer science is very competitive to get in. They admit purely on test scores and GPA. If you were a Canadian student, I could tell you pretty much exactly what you would need to get in, but because you’re from New York, I have no idea. But… give their admissions department a call and they’ll tell you.

I’m not too familiar with the “low match, high match etc” terminology so in my opinion, I think you have a good chance. Your ECs look very good and your ACT + GPA are also very good for U of T. From what you’ve said, you seem like a strong, well-rounded student. I’m doing a rough conversion to Ontario grades and I’m pretty sure I know someone who got into Comp Sci with similar grades so you have a pretty good chance.

Also, if you’re looking to apply to other Canadian universities, I’d highly suggest Waterloo as well! :slight_smile: Good luck!

P.S. I’m applying to U of T and Waterloo as well! :slight_smile:

your math sat scores for a cs major should be higher, and living in the states does not do you any good when applying to canadian schools

but i think you still have above 50% chance to get in
