University of Toronto

<p>I am a student studying @ University of Toronto. If you have questions about admission to UoFT, feel free to ask!</p>

<p>I am applying here as a international student for engineering. I am at an american school, how competitive is it to get admitted? My GPA is 3.5 with 4 AP classes and my SAT is 1370.</p>

<p>anyone????</p>

<p>I was wondering the same thing, except in liberal arts. I'm a US Citizen with a 3.73 GPA, 1390 SATs, and A's in courses at Vassar College.</p>

<p>Oh yes, 3 5's and 2 4's on AP's as well.</p>

<p>hey boomer when did you come here?</p>

<p>im a canadian citizen living in the US. SAT 1300 (740m 560v) SAT 2: Math 2c: 710 Writing: 540 Chem: 630</p>

<p>GPA 3.5
6 IB certificates. 3 HL in Math, Physics and History</p>

<p>Applying for engineering. Please give me some input</p>

<p>Are there really classes with 700 people?</p>

<p>when do they send their decision? don't they know americans have to decide by may 1st?</p>

<p>The dates for receiving decisions will vary. My D has already heard and will be attending in the fall. Be patient! :)</p>

<p>I got in today!...found out online</p>

<p>when did you apply and how many APs did you have, Xbisocbisoux?</p>

<p>There is lots of talk about Canadian Universities and high schools having higher grading standards. I see that many of the majors at U of T admit after the freshman year using GPA and year end exams as entrance requirements. The International Relations department, for example, only has 300 undergrads - that means that they are only taking 100 per year! The GPA minimum is listed as 3.0 I think or maybe it was 2.5 and the exam score at maybe 67%. At an American college, that would not be a big worry but how about at U of T? Any ideas from those who go or know someone who goes? Do students have to really sweat it to make it into restricted majors?</p>

<p>I know at McGill they were talking how an 80-83 is an A or A- (can't remeber exactly).</p>

<p>my GPA weighted is 3.5, SAT 1470, and I will have taken seven APs when i graduate, I applied at the end of december</p>

<p>DVMMOM: i go to u of t (IR) and in my opinion it is tough to get decent grades</p>

<p>i was also wondering, how prevalent is the view that Canadian schools (university and highschool) have higher grading standards?</p>

<p>my impression of the canadian universities is that they are more serious than the average american school...maybe just that more people are focused on learning instead of just having fun all the time...(not at all to say that we think you all are study freaks)...i've never heard anything about canadian highschools though and i doubt many other americans have either. </p>

<p>what college are you in? can you give any insight into the system cause im still totally confused...i picked woodsworth just because i wanted to live in a suite style with a kitchen but theres obviously more to it than that</p>

<p>i'm in university college. the system is kind of different from most american schools, we have year long courses (mostly, however there are some semester courses) that run from september to april, the classes that i am in are rather large, but you will have tutorials (for the most part), umm i don't know what else... as for grading, i think it is harder than other schools bc of large classes that need to maintain a C avg overall... i don't know if that helps?</p>

<p>well some people have told me that I should have picked trinity because its the most prestigious and Im just wondering if im going to regret my decision and how important what college you're in is</p>
