<p>I got accepted into Victoria College at University of Toronto a few days ago. I'm quite surprised because I applied on a whim, all I did was fill the forms and send all my SAT and TOEFL scores. Victoria College, my #1 college, asked for a 2000-word supplementary essay but I didn't write it at all because I couldn't be bothered with (well, I was already accepted into one of my top choices in the UK by then) but I still got accepted into Victoria. I'm not a very bright student; my SAT scores were okay (four subject tests at 700+), my GPA in the first two years is terrible, although my 11th and 12th grade averages are outstanding. I'm wondering if Victoria is known for accepting students without a supplementary essay, because, as far as I know, it's the second most oversubscribed college at UofT.</p>
<p>Ontario universities don’t look at grade 9 and 10 marks, just 11 and 12. If your grades are outstanding, Victoria (and Trinity) will accept you before the supplements are marked. </p>
Victoria likes international students and the resulting diversity.
