wow, no post?

<p>anyone??? applying from the U.S. this year????</p>

<p>D may apply next year- we'll visit UT and York. Looks like UT requires calculus for Psych major. What the heck? Calc is worthless- stats is essential.</p>

<p>I'm applying to study engineering. Still haven't finished the app though!</p>

<p>im applying to engineering too. applegreen, have you submited to ouac yet? im not really sure if i should send the transcripts already or wait for the faculty to contact me. ive gotten word from the university already.</p>

<p>"D may apply next year- we'll visit UT and York. Looks like UT requires calculus for Psych major. What the heck? Calc is worthless- stats is essential."</p>

<p>As far as my knowledge goes, the psych program at UT is CLINICAL psychology, therefor calculus is required. UT is also known for having useless preequisites just to make it slightly harder to get into, but overall, getting into UT is not very difficult, but toughing it out for four years is.</p>

<p>"I'm applying to study engineering. Still haven't finished the app though!"</p>

<p>Did you apply through OUAC? I don't think that engineering has any supplementary forms, so you really only need to enter in the program code, pay and submit.</p>

<p>Makes absolutely no sense for calc for Clinical Psych- and Psych is only in the Sciences Faculty (At McGill it is either BA or BS depending upon one's interests). I'm an MD- never ever used Calc; use Stats daily. York apparently has the biggest Psych dept. in Canada, but I have heard that area of Toronto is not so nice.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>It sound like you're not from the toronto area, York is very close to the Jane and Finch area, it has a higher crime rate than most other areas in Toronto. Also there isn't much close by because York is right on the border seperating Toronto and Vaughn (Vaughn is very suburban)</p>

<p>dufay, it's good that you will be visiting. You are correct that York is not in the best area of the city but even at that, it won't compare to the bad area of any U.S. city (if that's what you're comparing it to). York is on the northwestern border of the city and has a sprawling self-contained campus. U of T is centrally located in downtown Toronto and has a beautiful urban campus, which, while it seems large is actually smaller in area than York's. The two schools are very different in just about every conceivable way.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>hahahahaha. U of T is hugeee. They own practically the entire downtown core, including the provincial legislature, in which the province of onatario pays $1 a month of rent!! and the last time i checked, u of t took up like 5 subway stops or something around that.</p>

<p>the application is so confusing, i want to apply, but it's so confusing. I can't even find a due date</p>

<p>The actual acreage is less than that of York's campus, and U of T's is not entirely self-contained. There are many non-U of T buildings 'on campus'. And, no, they definitely do not "own practically the entire downtown core". :)The campus runs, generally, from Bloor to College (n to s) and from Bay to Spadina (e to w). So, on the Bloor line, the Bay stop is at the northeast corner (keeping in mind that this area is not only U of T buildings but also the major shopping district in the city) and the Spadina stop is at the northwest corner, with St. George in between. There is one stop on the University line on the north end, at Museum, and Queens Park at the south end.</p>

<p>The legislature buildings, by the way, are on land which is on a longterm lease to the province for the usual nominal sum of $1 a year, not a month. :)</p>

<p>"the application is so confusing, i want to apply, but it's so confusing. I can't even find a due date"</p>

<p>I was unaware u of t had an application, to my knowledge, everyone, whether you live in Ontario or not applies through OUAC. If this is the case, the deadline has already passed, and late applications are not accepted.</p>

<p>"Makes absolutely no sense for calc for Clinical Psych- and Psych is only in the Sciences Faculty "</p>

<p>I just looked over the Info Publication given out to every ontario high school student about all the programs at every ontario university. I checked the prerequisite for U of T St. George Campus Psychology, and Discrete Geometry is RECOMMENDED and Chemistry is recommended, and MAY be required, depending on the specific area you want to specialize in.</p>

<p>the official deadline listed on the international applicant booklet is feb 1st- march 1st depanding on diff. majors.
by applicaition, i meant the OUAC</p>

<p>Anyone know when does decision come out?</p>

<p>Generally speaking, Canadian Universities are rolling, but all decisions are made by May 28</p>

<p>Not sure for internationals, but for us ontario high school students, we only need to enter the program codes, pay, and wait. What are you finding confusing about the application?</p>

<p>well, for international students, from the U.S., there's so much stuff to send, and it seemed unclear to me what to do. I couldn't find a comprehensive booklet that tells me the process. but i think i figured most of the stuff out.
I also found the decision date, it's like late April. so i'm not sure if i''m gonna apply, because I have to tell U.S. universities by May 1st. it wouldn't matter so much.</p>

<p>quickflood, im confused about the application too. im applying to engineering and its not really clear to me where and when to send in the transcripts and things like that. plus, the steps are just given to you after you finished one thing. ie, after you pay for the ouac you wait for weeks then you hear from them. and then you wait again.</p>

<p>I applied to UofT from the UK three years ago and the process wasn't particularly complicated. If I recall correctly, it was a single application form (a few pages of questions), a disclosure release, financial means statement, and a copy of my transcript. My advice is to buy a calling card and ring whatever admissions number you have early on a weekday morning with your questions.</p>

<p>im applying this year!
faculty of arts</p>

<p>quick flood U of T engineering is second to none. don't let what you think is a complex application process deter you. Plus, toronto is an amazing city. I think you're confused because Canadian apps require less that US college apps. I believe you only need to submit your transcripts, SATs and the fill out the application. If there is something about a student visa that stuff should be done later after your accepted. call uof t admissions or send them an email to be sure. you will probably find out that you were worked up over nothing.<br>
good luck,</p>

<p>When I was applying there as a high school student for undergrad I got my decision in early or mid April I believe. It's a solid school, though, with a great reputation internationally. Your experience will vary greatly on your program and professors. Tons upon tons of international students, though, and you should find a place for yourself anywhere you go here.</p>

<p>Good luck and I hope you get in!</p>
