UT Toronto Applications for Trinity, Victoria, University?

[Leyland]

<p>Anyone out there know what the applications for residency ask for? My son has not submitted the application yet, so he doesn't have access to the res stuff. Are there essays to be written? How many? What do they ask for?</p>

<p>I don’t think there is. Just the ranking of preferred colleges.</p>

[Leyland]

<p>There’s definitely two essays for Trinity. Still don’t know for the others.</p>

<p>As I recall, they want short essays. The deadline is in March, I believe. Also, those two are the most sought-after (i.e. competitive). I am not sure you can actually apply to both (again from my recollection). Trinity requires you to list them as first choice, or you will not get in. I seem to recall Victoria does as well. You can go to the individual college sites to see, I think. That bureaucratic “Common Application” is a bit of a nightmare. I think each college may have its supplement on its individual website. I am sorry I am not more helpful- it is all from memory.</p>

<p>The “Student Profile” that must be filled out is available here:</p>

<p>

When you apply to the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto (St. George campus) through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC), an important step in your application process is to rank the seven colleges in your order of preference.</p>

<p>Only students who select Victoria College as their
FIRST CHOICE college on their OUAC application will be considered.</p>

<p>In addition to your OUAC application, current Ontario high school applicants who have selected Victoria College as their first choice College must complete the Victoria College Student Profile to be considered for acceptance to the College. **Those applying to Vic One and choosing Victoria as their first choice college must complete both the Victoria College Student Profile and the Vic One Application.</p>

<p>You will find out which college you have been admitted to when you receive your admission offer from the University of Toronto.

Students apply to the University of Toronto through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC), and rank all seven colleges in order of preference on their OUAC application. Trinity College will only consider those students that select Trinity as their first choice of college. We also require that applicants complete the Trinity College Admission Profile.

</p>

<p>I hope these help. Note that, indeed, only students that choose these colleges as their first choice college will be considered for acceptance (i.e. they only love those who love them!); precluding an applicant from applying to both of them (at least applying with an expectation of being accepted by the one listed as “second choice”).</p>

<p>Yes, thanks. We are trying to find the actual essay questions that must be completed, but unfortunately, they are not visible until you commit the res rankings, submit the app, pay the fee. So, we would like to see the essays before ranking the colleges, because if it requires really extensive (1000+ words) essays in a short amount of time, we just can’t do it. I was hoping someone who has been through this could shed some light on the requirements for each res, so that we can rank accordingly.</p>
