same..
thought it was a sign to tell me to get another major lol
did u apply there?
or just to u of t
i dont get how this works
You have to choose individually in OUAC
UofT has 3 diff campuses
St george is probably the main one ur thinking of in downtown toronto
UTM is in mississauga and UTSC is in Scarborough
are UTM and UTSC even worth it if you're paying that insane international fee?
per year???
yes π
come to think of it
I don't think even UTSG is worth that
thats insane for uoftears π
exactly lol
there r ivy leagues that r cheaper than that atp
ah
that makes more sense
but if ur not getting then its still very expensive
aid*
Thats crazyy π
or that Lester B schol.
Cs+stats+math
why not waterloo atp
I have applied
yea
although waterloo is very competitive for engineering and cs
it's my first choice in Canada tbh
insanely competitive
I think I might get in for Math
Software Eng seems tough
what r ur stats?
if u dont mind
i think waterloo even has a chart of ur chance of getting in depending on ur average
95 avg and 1510 sat
yea i've seen that
since they don't consider SATs and ECs that much
I don't think I have a great chance
yeah canadian schools r very grade-dependent
exactly
ur grades seem great but idk how they view intl
u definitely have a fair shot tho
ah
oh
Indian passport
makes sense
gl on ur admissions tho
i apply in like 2 yrs LOL
if i stay in canada hopefully uoft as well π
thanks, good luck
i want to email the undergrad admissions office to ask if i can change my program, but the contacts page gives no emails and the "ask a question" form specifically says that they will not answer questions about program selection. any advice on what i shud do?
Didn't you get an email from your Admissions Advisor?
ping coz i forgot to do so earlier lol
wait so did it give a contact email
Yes
Did you apply to Faculty of Arts and Science?
Idk about other departments
yea i did
π
And I got it even before I completed my CS supplement and other stuff
Cause I submitted on 2023-02-14 and this was on 28th Jan
but like my question was basically whether or not i could change programs after being admitted
i was admitted to studies of life sciences program
but now i wanna do comp sci
so can i switch or is it too late
If you were admitted already then you must have gotten an email ig.
Though you can always call them
ive heard conflicting accounts for this
dude the intl telephone fee is so high π
It would be tough to switch to CS because they need a supplement
hmmmmm
Actually idk cause my dad has it for free
so its not like america where u can basically switch majors once u get in?
Prolly not
But there might be a chance
Ig the admission office are the best people to talk to
π
yea i just didnt know how to reach them coz they didnt provide an email lol
π
π indeed
I didnβt get that

Is it only me!!?!
π
Though I didn't get in yet
Wait let me check
i didnβt even know an admissions advisor was a thing
Nvm I did get it
Ohh I remember that email
I got sent it on 1/27
And I was accepted like 2/16-17 or whatever
@agile axle if you got into arts and sciences you can change program after first year
Idk about the others, I would look at their faculty website
Hopefully, I get my decision this Thursday π€
wait decisions are gonna release tomorroe?
a batch of artsci offers should come out
When is engineering gonna come out?????
I got the acceptance letter in the mail but my dad opened it while absolutely butchering the pretty envelope
My status is just that have started reviewing files and to check portal regularly
Ig we could get it by 18th
Mine been under review for a month now.
my feb update said they will announce by late march
same
Yep but they might send an email saying it's gonna be late April
π
Even I did get that late March email
But I submitted on 14th Feb so, idk if I'm gonna get a decision so early
i dont think late april would be possible if they're asking you to decide before may 1st
Hmm maybe
you decide by june 1
itβs possible to get offers in late may
like even may 31st is an option
I got an alternate offer to civil eng this morning but nothing for trackone. What does that mean
What time is it out
2:17 am
Are decions out yet!!?!
I'm intl CS
I was talking about the decisions that are gonna drop today
Ahh
damn
Nothing on the portal for CS though.
i didnt get it yet
all cs?
105 is intl
bro i applied for cs in feb
im 105 eng and i got nothing yet
prolly gonna put me in gender studies or sum best case
I see
Thank you I will check soon
I applied Feb 1st tho
Could that be a reason why I donβt see anything
U got an offer?
Supp app
I submitted the original application in like December
Did u get an offer
What does ur status show
Lemme check that out yo
Maybe I was rejected π’
As in im in the rejection round lol
Go to any of the Ives instead of UofT
*ivies
So much easier to complete the degree
Howβd you know that bro
Did you ask everyone in ur country or sumthin
It could have been yield protection bro
where do i check this thing you're talking about?
after logging in what do i do
@twin idol where do you see the welcome thing
Bro MIT rejected someone who made a@nuclear reactor in their garage
I thimk this is for 101
yeah mine is 105\
For 105 it's different, there's no status paye
just says under review
yeah ur all good, it's just for 101
cool
Where to find if 105 or 101
are u international?
Yea
then ur 105
Ty
This is for 105
which portal is this
When did it come???
yee
Did it come today
Also what does it say on ur portal did u get that decision back yet
got it in mid feb
it just says admitted. you click and u see all the conditions and stuff
yeah but shipping times are diff for everyone
Ah
nice haha
btw kinda curious what do u exactly do after an astro degree @onyx sluice
Get a masters
Xd
Iβm probably gonna work in a private physics company or the Canadian or US government
Or like do research at a university
Welp i cant use that, I had that since a month ago cause I got into utm.
Sad that the normal portal for cs doesnt hv smth like this
Will they release cs round tday or next week?
From ontario
do u do research in astro
where are they releasing such precise information
I thought u just looked through a hole in a telescope
Yes
about decision releases
oh cool
There is a ton of research in Astro
Only for stanford
That's so true. I had a 95 in grade 11, but got a hard English teacher in grade 12 and went down to a 85. I highest mark in his class was a 92.
Astronomy is basically just the study of physics but the objects are very big and far away
105 cs aint out yet right
Stanford, Penn, Dartmouth
Someone from my school got into harvard for cs and economics last year. She was in canada's got talent.
nope :(
Why they so slow
yep
this probably means that we've been deferred
for march
u probably got it in feb
ah ok
yeah idk what to do
did they say to check the portal via email
@twin idol where does it say it on portal
Im engineering and I emailed them saying I'll send my mock grades which is why I probably haven't got my decision back yet π
where do you find this letter
I got my offer on ouac but the portal isnt showing anything
yeah
couple hours ok
any cs offers?
Itβs out?
I got into engsci
$2k scholarship
im domesetic
101
and I got 2k
like engineering top 6
96
95 then
yeah
hmmm whats ur top 5
I think im EC carried
I just copied my entire common app into the uoft thing
do you have ouac?
yes
waiting for ivies
does this mean its not out yet
nothing yet then
smth should pop up in the offers of admissions column if u got in
ur 101 or 105
yes
same
they it depends per major
I got in last month
only 2 got in last year for CS and they were both IMO
so sure eh?
cuz idk anyone who got one
I got into yale (full ride, honors program) but not from ontario
I got into harvard too
Im paying 10k tho
neither did I but I still got in
ur funny
not joking
huh interesting
huh
do you have a lot of reserach? or
oooh same
whats ur subject
oh
jeez I could never
mines on computer vision
I heard yale is looking for more research based stem kids
so that might be good
we'll see
we will see
? how
did you apply for financial aid?
ohhhh
wait is it need blind or need based
okok
mit is scuffed
Do you guys get email when it comes?
yeah but the emails a bit delayed
your residence guarantee expires before you have to accept your offer
itβs not indicative of a decision
but i would fill it out rn because if you get an offer later in may and you didnβt do it, you wonβt have your res guarantee
itβs a quick form anyways never hurts to fill it out
For international?
for arts and sciences
idk thats what people are saying in the ontario unviersities discord
artsci should be thurs night
offers kinda just pop up onto your portal idt thereβs a set time
5 minutes?
wait where
still doesnt say anything
bro ontario discord is going crazy rn
Mine still says application under review
are u artsci?
π₯΄
π
so are 101 CS offers out?
Did any intl student get their CS decision yesterday?
I didnt
Yeah that's what I thought which is the reason I sent the message.
Is arts and sciences out?
Didn't see anyone getting a decision so, I don't think so.
Ee
Why haven't they started to review my application π
Idk why Toronto's admission office is so weird with decision release!!
They get like 80k apps a year
Yeah ik
It was just a random message
And I submitted on 14th Feb so, I'll prolly receive decision next month
π
Wasnβt the deadline Jan 15?
Nope it was 1st Feb(for CS) but, I mailed them and got an extension till 15th Feb.
Yeah Iβm gonna be honest man you probably arenβt getting a decisions until mid-may
Damn wtf
I think I would have gotten in last month too but I had a missing mid term report
I submitted Nov 1
But, ig Pearson Scholarships are released in late April so I'll get decisions most prob next month.
When did you submit Pearson app
cool
my friend only got it for UTM btw
the one who submitted 1 Feb
not UTSG or UTSC
Ohh... I applied only UofT St George as Pearson is only for the top choice and I wanted to go to the main campus.
You too!!
looks like arts and science isn't out
π
this school is playing around
yea nothing out so far 
What page is this
It came just after logging in
Ohh
Has anyone from artsci international gotten in yet?
Nah just that your decision will not be releasing in this wave.
Where are CS decisions!!!!!

makes sense though i applied on the last day
what does mean reviewed mean though
specifically
It's just a general statement. It could mean your application hasn't been looked at yet or they want to compare/read it further
I applied after the deadline (Got an extension)
yeah me too
some ppl got into CS on friday
Oh wait I didn't know about that
π
Now I'll have to wait another month
F
Should have just submitted early
π
how do you know?
Ontario grade 12 reddit
Whenβs next wave speculated for international Cs
artsci comes out once a month so chat dies until then π
π
wait is this utsc or utsg
also which posts on the reddit said
utsg
ontario grade 12
some post lemme see if i can find it
ok ty π
how do i check which campus I applied to
6 votes and 6 comments so far on Reddit
anyone hear anything from ustc?
I might consider it if I get Lester
Lester π€©
Lester is a full ride iirc
105 is rolling
But every 3rd Thursday of every month I get an email saying βmy application is still being consideredβ
So itβs probably bullocks
Did you get one this month?
No
I would like to extend a personal invitation to you and your family to join me on campus for March Open House at the University of Toronto Mississauga on Sunday, March 26 starting at 11:00am ET.
did anyone get thisπ
are you a 101 applicant tho
cuz i didnt get this
105
another oauc 105 who got that checking in
i likely didnt get it because it seems i only applied to st george
ah then generic text
the last para kinda threw me off THOO
We look forward to meeting you and discussing your interests and your future at UTM.
dissapointed
this is probably a good sign
Itβs a common email sent to everyone unfortunately man
oh damn
96 avg
Do you have IB?
I heard uoft hates IB
nope
Well from an IB school
No one has gotten in in like the last 3 years
Including a 45
Uoft cs
there have been like 2 people who got into uoft from my school this year
so far
i admit they didn't apply for cs, but they still got in
im in an IB school btw
are u 101
105
im from anIB school and we have a 95% AR
why so
Like zero offers in the past 2-3 years from what Iβve heard
@smoky dagger what school
Iβm not doxxing myself π
what course though
this is for cs
LOL our IB 35s have gotten into their hardest programs
π
does anyone know what the highest scholarship amount that uoft gives is?
mehdge
utsc has coop at least
utsg is kinda

u go to utsg because it's utsg
but cs kinda

Lester b Pearson full ride for intls
everyone I know got a 100k scholarship from artsci
engineering has lower scholarships I believe
is it same for domestic?
tysm!!
Damn I didnβt π
prolly because my school is a feeder to uoft lmao
U in Canada?
nope intl
Where are you like buffalo NY
india
like a 90% acceptance rate for our school
Do a a lot of people go?
mostly those who don't get into their preferred us uni
i think it's like 5-6 every year
@devout lagoon do you know what ib grades required for St George CS
I only applied to St George's CS
weβre at 100%
None of our applicants got denied
But honestly uoft is not a very good option
^ depends on the program
lol I just checked and weβve had 3 people denied out of 163 in the last 5 years
good programs generally but bad for social scene and mental health and all, from what Iβve heard
Ig CS at UofT is decent.
I donβt think a single one of us got denied before
But thatβs probably because of our scores
No one can brag about getting accepted into a Canadian school haha
Itβs honestly just a freebie
ty
yep itβs more competitive programs instead of competitive school
idk it depends on where youβre from
getting in from a no-name HS that they donβt get apps from is probably not that easy
Hey diversity man
They like that
It kind of depends on the school for that criteria
i doubt they contextualize that much tho since itβs all marks anyways
except for the competitive programs
UofT is more expensive than California lol
who said its 30000 cad uoft
Their website
its 60000 cad
60k cad vs 60k usd?
and california isnt 60k tuition
Undergraduate tuition and fees: 6,590 CAD, International tuition 45,690 CAD (2017 β 18)
2017
Right my bad itβs 69,000
It said 69,000 for ucsd when I checked iirc
Intl here
Youβre intl too
lemme check again
69k is the overall fee
including housing and everything
anyways
UofT and Cal nearly the same
cal is only 1k cheaper
regardless as an international were the cash cows so π
but ig California would make up with housing and food lol
I made the mistake of aid
As a result
Gonna be lots of waitlists
i didnt apply for CS, but if you look on the website i think it said high 30's
!chance uoft
What time does UofT release? Someone on Reddit says decisions come today/tomorrow
Oh damn
gg
did you get in?
nope
damn man sorry to hear that
i got mine at 6pm
looks like they are rolling out
like over a few hours
so should i just keep refreshing the portla?
if you don't have a decision right now you might get one later today
I dont even think st george is out rn
just scarborough and mississagua
i didnt get ANYTHING
Ah, I see
dang, no UTSG CS i guess
do i get an email tho?
thats fucked up man
r u 101 or 105
I am a 105 who got in last month
looks like some st george people got an offer
I dont think CS is out
actually idfk
these guys have deadass forgotten I exist
sorry to hear, i was waiting for a while too
admitted?
yes
which campus?
st george
101 or 105?
idk im international
I felt that bro I was waiting from october to february
@ember vigil which course?
u can get waitlisted at uof t? and this early??
Lmaoo i am glad i put in that alternate choice
ouac 105 CS at all campuses π₯
what do the numbers mean like 105 101 etc
its out for u?
i dont have anything yet im 105 applied forensic science
I applied at the deadline
a lot of ppl got tdy
ya
i personally didn't
Is there a last date,
is UW waterloo or washington?
?
they go until may i believe
Washington
cs?
Cool thanks
Pre sciences
but apparently its insanely hard to get in
are u automatically considered for pre-sciences if u applied to cs?
or do u hv to indicate alternate major
hmm interesting
GOT IN ARTSCI AOCNJSJXJGMG

why the fuck did they accept me in PHYSIFAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCEINCES?
I did cs.
and didn't even pick an alternate program.
does this mean u won't be considered for cs anymore?
probably
I got an offer strange
did u just find out?
Yes
mine hasnt come yet
Rotman but this is terrible
I didnβt receive any scholarships either for this St. George school what
@ocean night are you intl?
Where can I see if I got the scholarship or not?
it shows at the top of the offer
Any idea on when decisions for the Pearson and need-based scholarships come out?
End of April for Pearson
I got my CS decision (intl) a few hours ago!! (idk how cause I submitted on 14th Feb)
So yeah decisions are out
damn
lets go uoft!
good luck!!!
oof mine is still under review
Yooo congrats on the 100k my man
When did you submit your application?
Your stats must be insane lol
I think that most st. george decisions are out (except engineering), but uoft does do rolling
β€οΈ
Idk but I have a ton of national awards (ranks<100 in India) so maybe because of that
And the fact that I spent a lot of time refining my essays (Pearson + CS + Victoria College)
Feb 1st
Thatβs why
idk then it probably should have come out today or later today, but many canadian universities like to make their decisions process weird and shit
in general though i think a lot of the time it is first-come-first-serve
Still waiting for george and scar
what faculties?
Commerce as first choice
each faculty seems to do admissions mostly independent from each other so idk it might just not be today
are there any u of t acceptances that aren't out yet?
Idts it depends majorly on when you submit your app as I submitted on 14th Feb
or am i bound to get rejected at this point
I submitted November 7th π
uoft generally reviews them every 2-3 weeks but it really depends on what faculty, basically they do whatever they want
not for everyone
Yeah not for everyone cause intl is rolling
i think even domestic is rolling
yea im domestic
But afaik this month's acceptances are out
But hey Iβm patient
You did not hear back yet!!?
I got into Miss, but thatβs it
all of the large canadian universities each have their faculties review applications separately and release decisions for anyone whenever they feel like it
there isnt' really a way of knowing
and then there is waterloo that is releasing decisions in may D:
Other 2 reviewing
Ohh
its probably cause they wanna see ur semester 2 mid term grades
Yeah they got that about a month ago but Iβm not in a rush at all so itβs all good
UofT is weird with their decision release tbh
all the canadian ones are
But then again they get a lot of applications
anyone else here apply to waterloo?
Ohh yeah (I applied to only CS at UofT)
Yes and donβt they have smaller admission teams then a lot of other similar sized schools?
Never looked into that but that might also be a reason
Yeah Canadian unis get a shit ton of applications
they just are such large schools with multiple campuses and faculties that their decisions process is fragmented among like a billion different teams
so there isn't really a way of knowing when your decision will release
I applied to Toronto just because they offer a full ride to intl (Pearson Scholarship)
Yeah thatβs makes a lot of sense. Explaining to my friends the whole three schools, three separate apps, but also one app at the same time, and still the same school is confusing
π
yeah and then they have a billion different portals for each application π
The holy Trinity of UofT π
Which is the best college in UofT? (I got Victoria which was my first choice but I'm just curious)
For CS
the hours and hours i spent trying to figure out what I had to do for mcgill was infuriating
i don't think i have ever had a worse technological experience with anything, ever, full stop
Or maybe for student life
It doesnβt really matter, the dorms are the only real difference
IIRC new college is the biggest but the student life at all of them is fine
So from what I understand people generally choose dorms based on how close they are to the buildings you will study in, but also social stuff of course
I don't remember which ones were considered the best for CS but there was a reddit post about it somewhere
Youβll be happy if you got into your top college choice
Ahh kk ty
I got into university college which was my top choice and it doesnβt really seem bad at all
I'll surely look into the post ty!!
this one had a lot of good info when i was filling out the form https://www.reddit.com/r/UofT/comments/o02mv/can_any_of_you_guys_help_me_choose_my_residences/
4 votes and 15 comments so far on Reddit
yeah just make sure to read all of the replies and don't focus on one specifically of course
people are biased lol
And all that and I still forgot to send my SAT to McGill π
Me too bro, my mid year grades werenβt submitting even though I filled them out and it took like a week and a half for it to be figured out
Actually like 2-2.5 weeks
watch out my friend got crabs from a chick at McGill
Thatβs his fault ngl
@onyx sluice experienced my breakdown in real time
Yeah I've read some stuff about it and it certainly is not promising
If I get put in chestnut Iβm gonna flip bro
I really do not want to be put in chestnut
Itβs a 20 min walk through downtown to campus and the building is just a bit run down in general
yeah....
mcgill sends me an email saying: WARNING: MISSING DOCUMENTS
- doesn't say which
- the email says i can chekc my portal to see which
- the portal doesn't say which
- only links a massive list of requirements that I have to scroll through
- can't figure out what I'm missing
- tyr to search for an hour on their website to get an email i can contact
- web pages keep saying "click here" for email but they just lead me to an FRQ page
- I find an email on a different website
- my email to them bounces saying access denied
- guess i have to call them on the phone
- wait during my lunch period to call them as they leave me on hold for 40 minutes
- I finally get on call with the operator and he says "let me just transfer you to the admissions"
- he just hangs up immediately
π
Bruhhh
literally nothing has caused me as much pain and anxiety as mcgill's admissions system online than literally anything else
Iβm not complaining anymore
But donβt get forget 404βs too
Ig I put in the residence form that I do not want chestnut
You rank your residence choices from top to bottom but you have to include chestnut
With your stats and everything tho Iβm sure youβll get top choice residence
Guys if I got into St Georgeβs with a 5k scholarship from Victoria College, does that mean Iβm not getting Lester?
if i get into mcgill im not even going bro have you seen their website it looks like it was designed in the 90s
also bro they asked me if i was gonna email my mid year trasnctip in or send by courier/fax π
Or is it possible to get both lester and smaller award
π
Didn't get that thing for
I think they do admissions independently from each other
(don't quote me on this though)
I donβt think so?
It comes out later
Oh okay
Yeah I said that too
π€
But I did not get an option to rank residences on the StarRez application
But NVM I'll worry about it if I decide to go
Ty for the help!!!
Oh I think itβs because Victoria only has 1 residence
Np
is newcollege a good one?
depends what youβre looking for
it has dorm style living where the entire floor has shared washrooms
some others are apartment style living where 4-6 people have a shared kitchen, washroom, space
i visited all except st mikes if you have any specific questions
anyone know if theres a waterloo 2027 discord
yeah i can dm you the invite
can you dm me as well
just enabled dms sorry about that
oh np!
Does anyone know when scholarship decisions come
Which scholarship decisions?
got into social sci alternate choice
waterloo cs>>>>
i did not expect to get anything at utoronto because my ecs are my strongest suit but utor doesnt take any
but well something is better than nothing
my waterloo aif has 35 fucking awards and a fermat distinction + school champion so that should count for something
I thought that uoft had some University wide scholarships that don't require application
Got into Waterloo?
Nah but it's coming out today but I'm pretty sure I can get it
I'm getting a 5 on my aif, 97 avg
99% 10th Boards, 92% 11th, Highest Predicted Range in all subjects in 12th
- 35 national/intl awards on the aif
- intl math comps including a fermat distinction
For intl they release with the admission decision I think (cause I got it along with decision today)
guys my friend hasnt heard back from any of the campuses but he applied RD
other ppl have heard back
does it come in boards?
Oh how much did you get?
Do you know what time?
100k
are decisions coming out in waves?
Congratulations! It came in your acceptance letter or separately?
In the acceptance letter
Yes they do come out in waves
when is the next wave?
Did you applied for it or was it automatic?
fellasss
OMG ππππππ
Congratulations ππ
Uhh I don't remember filling out anything other than the Pearson scholarship thing(Whose decisions are not yet released) for scholarship application
Congratulations π π
@twin idol it was the same award as the one above I got for CS at St George
What are yβallβs averages? CS here still havenβt gotten the rest but I am an A level student with straight A*βs in my A levels and IGCSES (11 IGβs) 4ALevels
Ig for CS a lot of applicants have really good averages (>97% in class 11 for me) so, it boils down to essays
And any other national awards/ECs one has
I got some strong ECs but honestly itβs out of my control so f
Ty, and congrats to you!
π
Also question, for UTSC CS did you** get a supplementary application?
Or was it only the CS supplement and Vic supplement?
Sorry for the ping, just needed to know π₯²
I just did CS and Vic supplement for the St George campus (Only place I applied to in Canada)
Nope just CS at St George (Pearson is only for 1st choice that is why)
Ty. Gl to you too!!
okay i got it
thanks
@keen cedar Did you get in
Yep
Any IB student got into UTSG CS?
Congratulations
Congrats man
i got WL
my bad tho
i dont have any CS ECs
just applied for fun
If i applied engineering and st george and i got into st george only
Does that mean i am denied in engineering
St. George is the only campus with engineering no?
