University of Toronto (UofT) (2022-2023)

[abstract heron]

I thought the engineering app is prioritized first?

[onyx sluice]

Idk

[dusty kernel]

sad i applied to utsg cs on dec. 15 and didn't get any offers yet

prob got rejected 😦

[onyx sluice]

What are your stats

[abstract heron]

Not yet prolly

Stay positive bro

I also applied real early

And just got admitted today

[dusty kernel]

well im not sure how they predict marks, but i think my u of t avg is around 97.8 currently

because i don't hv english or calc marks yet

though i believe they'd predict 100 for calc since i've gotten 100 in all gr. 11 and gr. 12 math courses so far. but i trolled english gr. 11 with a 90

[dusty kernel]

ok cool, congrats!

[abstract heron]

Thanks

[dusty kernel]

tbh its prob because my supp app was kinda scuffed

idk acc

lets see what happens

[onyx sluice]

@dusty kernel looks like most people who are getting in have like a 92+ average

I got in first round with a 3.895 W

[abstract heron]

My gpa is 99/100 and i just got in today 😭

I think as long as you got good gpa you’ll get in

[onyx sluice]

Yeah

Although I applied to physical sciences and math which is easier to get into probably than cs/lifesci/engisci

[inner junco]

I want to research why Canada cares so much about grades while USA takes a more balanced profile. I think it’s very surprising considering American and Canadian culture in recent history. I have a strong feeling that Canadian schooling and universities still follow a British system and haven’t evolved a lot

[abstract heron]

Could be

[onyx sluice]

Canadian unis admit a lot more people

In order to sift through apps quickly they rely on stats

[abstract heron]

Do the uk unis accept many ppl too?

[inner junco]

I agree with you when it comes to transcript self-reporting because they can do a lot of easy elimination. However, when Michigan is receiving 80k apps compared to McGills ~45k last year, I don’t think that’s the only reasoning.

[onyx sluice]

You’re right

[inner junco]

This is also a good point. I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure most UK schools rely heavily on test results regardless of number of applicants

[onyx sluice]

Well Canada was a commonwealth until the late 40s right

[keen cedar]

Thb UK universities care more about from where your qualification is. I couldn't apply to Oxford and got rejected by UCL and Imperial because I study a qualification they do not accept

Like wth

[onyx sluice]

And they still have the king of England as their head of state

[inner junco]

Yes, that was my thinking.

[inner junco]

Bro that’s even worse than Canada 😭 I’ve heard the England admission horror stories

[keen cedar]

Idk why did I even care to apply (I ain't going there cause for them intl students are just bags of money!)

[abstract heron]

True tho

I didn’t apply for the same reason

[dull spade]

i got a response yesterday, a level student w 4 A*s as well

ouac 105 but canadian citizen fwiw

[rose elm]

Oh 🙃, intl applicant 😔

Congrats tho!

Just gotta wait I guess

[dull spade]

<3 best of luck to you :>

[rose elm]

I got country topper CS and they be undervaluing me ☹️

[smoky dagger]

im 101 and i got in utsc with 96.3

[rose elm]

But we gotta wait Ig

[rose elm]

Congrats!!!

[dull spade]

are u doing CAIE CS a level as well?

[rose elm]

Yep

[dull spade]

my condolences

[rose elm]

LMAO a hahaha

Frrr

Very fun subject innit

[dull spade]

some of the questions and content in the book are just wrong it's so painful 😭

[rose elm]

BRO IKR ITS SUCH A BAD SYLLABUS

They make it look like the easiest thing and then it’s like 3 years worth of context

[dull spade]

"code a function to return the sum of a list with recursion instead of iteration 🤩" WHAT DO U MEAN

[dull spade]

its so content heavy yessss pain

[rose elm]

That’s the least of our worries bro, I’ve seen a 2 d array recursive insertion sort

[dull spade]

i just had that on my mock on wednesday omg

i hate insertion sort it's the worst

[rose elm]

My mock went really well tbh, 75,75 🤞

Hoping for a good finals

[dull spade]

yooo mashallah very well done !!!

[rose elm]

May June 2022 AS level paper was a very interesting paper

[dull spade]

i wiped that paper from my mind after i sat it lmao

thank god we don't have to handwrite pseudocode for paper 2 again

[rose elm]

FRR, but we still have it for advanced theory 😢

[dull spade]

</3

as long as we just have to do ADTs and no sorts in the official paper ,,,, 🙏

[rose elm]

I’ve seen insertion sort tho 😳

You practice 9608 papers too right? That’s all we have smh

I think the March 2023 papers might be out so we gotta practice ‘em to see what they plan on doing on our papers

[dull spade]

they gave it in october/november so that means we won't have it in june right,,,, right

there's no march 9618 :(

[rose elm]

That’s what I hope for

[dull spade]

unfortunately gonna have to yeah

done the 9618s with still two months to go

[rose elm]

Imma go searching through the googles to find it, I’ll let you know if K get a copy

[dull spade]

yes please :>

[rose elm]

Nice!!

[strange umbra]

I got into UTSG CS with 7A*s in IGCSE and 5As in AS Level

I also got 2 A*s in A Level and 1 extra A in an AS Level that I haven't submitted to UToronto yet

[rose elm]

Intl?

[strange umbra]

Yep

[rose elm]

Oh so you applied with AS levels?

[strange umbra]

Yep

I did Further Maths, which I think helped me with my app

Since it's such a rigorous course

[rose elm]

Any scholarships?

[strange umbra]

Nope

Unfortunately

😔 .

[twin idol]

Anyone knows what time Waterloo releases

[tranquil rover]

is waterloo today?

do all decisions release?

[bleak ridge]

waterloo is rolling

i don’t think there’s a specific time but you’ll get emails

[twin idol]

I heard it was today

Anyone got Waterloo decisions yet?

[ancient mural]

I forgot to save the portal link for waterloo lmao

[strange umbra]

Wait Waterloo's today?

Are they releasing all the decisions or what?

[bleak ridge]

no they’re just sending a batch

[strange umbra]

oh

well kewl

[inner junco]

Anyone get Queens or McMaster yet?

[onyx sluice]

I didnt apply to either but there's an ontario colleges discord server if you want the link

[bleak ridge]

i got both life sci offers but i’m 101

[grand salmon]

Any idea when uoft is releasing decisions for march?

[onyx sluice]

in march? they already did

yesterday

[grand salmon]

Which course?

[onyx sluice]

which faculty you mean? Im pretty sure all march decisions released yesterday

[grand salmon]

Confused

I got an email that decision will be made late march

[onyx sluice]

@grand salmon decisions can also be made in april or may im pretty sure

may if you're canadian

[bleak ridge]

decisions will continue until end of may

it’s rolling for a reason 🤷‍♀️

[grand salmon]

Yeah but they usually release in bulk

[onyx sluice]

yes they do but that doesnt mean your decision will be there

[bleak ridge]

there’s a batch once a month, continues until end of may

[onyx sluice]

when did you apply?

[grand salmon]

December mid

[bleak ridge]

if your marks are high you’ll get an offer eventually

[onyx sluice]

^^^

I dont think youll be getting a decision this month though

[grand salmon]

Got this email last month

[onyx sluice]

considered

not released

[bleak ridge]

“will be considered” prob means you’re deferred to next round

[grand salmon]

Oh ok

[inner junco]

That would be great. Thank you

[devout lagoon]

Are they doing something different for St. George campus or something

What is going on

[keen cedar]

Wdym

[icy elk]

guys has anyone else gotten the 'international scholar' scholarship?

i have a couple of questions

[keen cedar]

Yes

[onyx sluice]

When did you guys get it?

And where did you see it

[keen cedar]

You can see it by clicking on the admitted thing on portal (CS)

It is given along with the letter itself

[icy elk]

the moment i got my decision

on the portal

like during february

[keen cedar]

Ohh you got your decision in Feb!!

Cool

[icy elk]

yup

feb 17th

[keen cedar]

Ohh well I submitted on 14th Feb so, no chance of getting it in Feb!!

Btw which major?

[icy elk]

that’s why hahahah

[icy elk]

studies in life sciences

i applied trinity so i had to submit profile before a certain deadline

[onyx sluice]

ah I thought you guys meant that you just got the scholarship

[keen cedar]

Ahh cool!!

[icy elk]

no it comes out w the decision i think

[keen cedar]

Yep

You had some questions right?

[icy elk]

oh yeah

i’ll dm you in a bit

if you don’t mind

[keen cedar]

Sure np

[onyx sluice]

ah that thing

[inner junco]

Got into Ivey! 🥳

Saying that here bc y’all are probably the only ppl who know what that is

[icy elk]

CONGRATS!!

[inner junco]

Thank you ☺️

[dusty kernel]

its downtown toronto lol 😶

known to be like one of the least affordable housing places in the world

[onyx sluice]

Not for me it does

For me it’s like half the tuition or like 1/3 or whatever

[onyx sluice]

Also this lol

[vague marsh]

its like that for most domestic canadian unis no?

[onyx sluice]

Yeah u guys get like 6k cad tuition

Stop complaining

For me to stay domestic at a target or reach school is ~60k USD tuition

Which is like 85 all fees

[keen cedar]

Where do you find about housing costs?

[onyx sluice]

It will be on your colleges website

Housing costs and food plan costs are there

[keen cedar]

Ahh kk ty... Idk why I'm too lazy to look up stuff

[sacred forum]

how's woodsworth college. i got in there

[mental furnace]

hows university

[sturdy bluff]

if I didn't get admitted to CS by now

is it a rejection

applied late december

[hexed raven]

r u 101?

[sturdy bluff]

International from US

[hexed raven]

when UofT delays your decision, it usually means your gpa/average is not high enough and they would like to see you perform better in second semester, but idk if this applies to the US

[kind geyser]

Me too🤩

[dusty kernel]

idt thats entirely true because ik someone with a 99 avg who didn't get in march this yr

the thing is u of t apps suck

like u can't list ec's

u only get the short responses to talk abt them

though they did hv good ec's

idk how well they displayed them on the app

that might be where they lost, but i doubt their app was terrible

[onyx sluice]

@sturdy bluff just be patient you don't get in until it says rejected

I believe you asked about this earlier

I am from the USA (105) and it was not rolling

ah maybe it was someone else

my apologies

still though, just be patient your decision will come

ah

I got in in feb

physical sciences and math

im gonna do astronomy and physics major after year 1

yeah im like 60% going to uoft

just waiting to see if mcgill accepts or declines me

its just between those 2

[unreal lance]

I like UofT a lot but more students dropout/uhhh how do i say this... leave the world... there because of how difficult the academics are

[onyx sluice]

yeah they gave me reviewed-decision pending back in like february

I probs wont hear back until mid april

[onyx sluice]

yeah I heard about that

but I do think it is because a lot of people dont really understand how good the university is

idk if you would be able to say this but Id say its ivy level with academics and such

yes

honestly if I do get into mcgill I would have a very tough choice on which one I want to go to

[sacred forum]

what are your thoughts on the hellish academic culture at ut?

[onyx sluice]

not as far as im aware of

nice campus, good city + academics

plus I got rejected from my 3 targets so its really just those 2 left

I really liked montreal and mcgill when I went in august

international

yes

im from PA so both arent that far really

what part

ah thats where I live

its a nice area as long as you dont live too close to philly

I mean most of them are true

one of the bigger ones is crazy sports fans

yeah I watch the english premier league and baseball sometimes

its not for everyone tho

soccer/football

yes

its the biggest soccer league in the world

arsenal is my team

youve probably never heard of them though

yes but world cup is countries not clubs

clubs are soccer teams that sign players for a lot of money, players can be from any part of the world

and they play in a certain league in a certain country

country is players from a country no matter what club they play for play together during international games

the people on the teams at the world cup rarely play together during the year unless they are training for their intl teams

idk, I mean they are all from the same country which boosts that a little bit

[inner junco]

Congrats! 🥳

[tight grail]

Guys my status changed to a decision has been made

Engineering

Yes where can I see

There was this place before where can see

The celebration part

[smoky dagger]

105?

[devout lagoon]

hmmmm interesting

how long does this last?

[tight grail]

Guys when does uoft engineering scholarships come out

[pure skiff]

when do decisions come out? I've been stuck on "We have received your online student profile" since almost a week

[tight grail]

They are rolling in waves

I got in today

[pure skiff]

Cool tysm

[vague marsh]

mine has been like that for three months so idk lol

[keen cedar]

They should come out with the decisions unless it's Pearson

[tight grail]

R u sure ?

[keen cedar]

Yeah?!

Though you could email them and confirm

I might me wrong

[tranquil rover]

finally got my first real letter :)

[icy elk]

i want mine

[arctic cove]

That’s so nice of them
What country are you from?

Did they give you a scholarship

Sorry I’m nosy

[tranquil rover]

it's okay! im from india, and i got around a 20k total scholarship from Mississauga

i got the UTM acceptance back in mid feb tho

[pliant hornet]

hi fellow indian here! got into toronto too

but will be committing to berkeley eecs

[wind vigil]

ages

[azure trench]

Ayoo it's so cool! Do they send this to every accepted student??

[tranquil rover]

i think they do, but i'm not sure haha

[pure skiff]

can't decided between here and tamu 😭

[tranquil rover]

uoft if cost isn't an issue

[icy elk]

can’t decide between u of t and usc man

[hazy trellis]

major?

[icy elk]

bio

in u of t i’m undeclared

studies

and in usc im bio

i wanna do pre med

[hazy trellis]

LMFAOOOO

they banned the word 😭

does money matter?

are you domestic for uoft?

wait nvm you're asia

[pure skiff]

life

ah

[icy elk]

no i have scholarships for both

like money wouldn’t be that big of a problem for both

[icy elk]

can anyone help 😭

[keen cedar]

If money is not a problem, I would prefer UofT over USC.

[onyx sluice]

Hey man it all depends on what your preferences are, USC is a lot warmer and is more of a party school because of Football than UofT, but UofT has the better academics and is a larger uni in the middle of the city

Imo UofT has a better campus

[pliant hornet]

rejected by UofT CS embraced by Berkeley EECS and GTech CS we ball

[tight grail]

how do uk u got rejected?

[pliant hornet]

i got into my alternate major at toronto

social sciences

[keen cedar]

A lot of people get their major changed into something random for the first year

It's just a UofT thing

[lusty glen]

hey guys so a quick question, I got the 100k international scholar award however as an intl i cant even afford the 2nd,3rd and 4th year. So like is there a way to pay for uoft once there. idk internships or continuing scholarships ? please help me out

does the fin aid office give loans or something etc

[keen cedar]

Did you apply for the Pearson Scholarship?

[lusty glen]

yup

waiting on it

but i am asking in case i dont get it

[keen cedar]

Well other that that there are not a lot of scholarships akaik

[lusty glen]

yes I heard this too

is there anyone who can confirm this

a current studeny

or something

nope

[keen cedar]

There is a link on the portal for a complete list of scholarships

[lusty glen]

i did go through that

and i saw a lot of them

that i can get

i mean i am a strong student so i can get good grades and ecs and stuff

but i just need assurance that they do exist for intl

so if you knoe any existing stuent please refer them to me

thanks man

hmm well thanks nayways

[pure skiff]

Oh goodness give me my decision already it's the only university I'm waiting to hear back from

[tight grail]

Was the 100k scholarship written in ur acceptance letter?

[lusty glen]

Yep

[tight grail]

Could u send a pic of it, if it’s possible

[lusty glen]

Sure give me a few min

[hazy trellis]

any idea whether the 100k scholarship is transferable between campuses?

[onyx sluice]

anyone here applying for a study permit as well?

[keen cedar]

It is generally given by the faculty you apply to so, it would be best to email them

[azure trench]

@twin idol as u know some current students and u live in Toronto, can u tell how is the journalism program at utsc

I got accepted to it and even got the 100k schol

[icy elk]

@unreal lance yo bro im sorry for @ing you but youre a sophomore at u of t right?

[tranquil rover]

probably not, since the admission process of each campus is independent of the other

[calm night]

hai, anyone here waiting on the pearson scholarship?

[keen cedar]

Yep

[lusty glen]

Yep

[tight grail]

Guys is the deadline for accepting offer at UofT same for everyone??

[lusty glen]

1st May I assume

[tight grail]

Sone of my friends didn’t get decisions yet from Uoft so I was wondering

Some*

[lusty glen]

I heard some people are already getting waitlists and rejections from Pearson
Is this fake news ?

[pure skiff]

1st june no?

[onyx sluice]

for Canada it is the 1st of june

iirc

for intl it is 1 may

[pure skiff]

Oh

[icy elk]

guys is grade deflation really bad at u of t?

[onyx sluice]

from what I heard, no

Im pretty sure its banned in engisci dont quote me on that tho

[keen cedar]

Where did you get to know about this?
Ik people get waitlisted in early April (past year trends) but no idea about the rejections

[calm night]

May I know where you learned this?

also where you guys from haha @keen cedar @lusty glen

[keen cedar]

India

[calm night]

Oh nice, I'm from the Philippines

i got my acceptances for all three campuses last february

luckily got into all my top choices of programs

but the 100k isn't enough to cover the expenses ;w; ~30-40% discounted from total costs

[keen cedar]

Ohh cool!! I only applied to St. George for CS and completed app on 14th Feb lol

[keen cedar]

Yeah ik

[calm night]

UTSG is such a dream school

i hope we get the pearson scholarship 🤞

[twin idol]

@keen cedar did you got in?

[keen cedar]

UofT?

Yes I did

[twin idol]

👏

[calm night]

where you from? @twin idol

[twin idol]

Kenya

[onyx sluice]

Nairobi?

[twin idol]

Mombasa

[onyx sluice]

Nice bro

What time is it there rn

[calm night]

Nice!

[twin idol]

5:58

[onyx sluice]

Why u awake so early xd

[twin idol]

Getting ready for school

[keen cedar]

Does UofT give Pearson scholarship decisions before we commmit?

[onyx sluice]

When does it say they release by

[calm night]

i hope so

[keen cedar]

April end apparently

[calm night]

We are reviewing applications and will notify all nominees of our decisions by mid-to-late April.

Best of luck with your application.

Sincerely,

Gregory Comisso

this is what i got

[onyx sluice]

You commit by may 1

So it might be close

[keen cedar]

But idk as my counselor said they do it only if they are sure you are going there

[onyx sluice]

And OUAC says to give it a few days to process after you accept your offer so in reality like April 28

[keen cedar]

Hopefully they do

[keen cedar]

🤞

[devout lagoon]

how do I check which college I got into residence at for UofT

[devout lagoon]

yooo found a brother

[keen cedar]

It is there on your acceptance page/letter iirc

[devout lagoon]

nope

[keen cedar]

It is mentioned

[devout lagoon]

What page is this???

I dis thé résidence application on march 31 the deadline tho

But got it submitted in time

[keen cedar]

This is the accepted student portal

[devout lagoon]

I’m also in engineering, but my letter says ‘engineering and applied sciences’

[devout lagoon]

How do I log in

[keen cedar]

Which program did you apply to?

[devout lagoon]

Mech E

[keen cedar]

Ahh then ig it would be different for you. This is for CS application

[devout lagoon]

But there must be an accepted students portal

[keen cedar]

I just click on accepted thing on my applicant portal and it directs me to this page

[devout lagoon]

I was directed to ‘admit.engineering.utoronto.ca’

[keen cedar]

Wait you applied on 31st March right. Then idk if it is released so early

[devout lagoon]

Yeah for housing

[keen cedar]

Also, I had to choose this while submitting OUAC so i got Victoria which was my 1st preference.

[devout lagoon]

Choose what?

[keen cedar]

Colleges

[devout lagoon]

I didn’t have to

[keen cedar]

Well then it is just different for engineering

[devout lagoon]

Noooo

[keen cedar]

Afaik

[devout lagoon]

🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️📉🚫

[keen cedar]

[devout lagoon]

Toronto buggin

[onyx sluice]

@devout lagoon just a question

Did you do the survey for guaranteed residence

[devout lagoon]

Idk

I filled out a form

Did an essay for trinity

[onyx sluice]

The one on starrez?

[devout lagoon]

Yes sir

[onyx sluice]

It was due March 21

Ah yea

[devout lagoon]

I was told march 31 lol

I have an email that says so

[onyx sluice]

I was just wondering because if u did that you probably knew what ur residence/college was

[onyx sluice]

Yeah I meant to type that

[devout lagoon]

So what should I do?

There’s nothing telling me about housing

[onyx sluice]

Check your acceptance letter

It says it there

Click on the admitted program and then click download my acceptance letter

[devout lagoon]

It doesn’t

[onyx sluice]

Send a SS of your letter

Without your name or ID

[devout lagoon]

this is all it says

[onyx sluice]

Engineering doesn’t have a school

That’s why

Or a college*

I should say

[devout lagoon]

but I applied to trinity

they said I could

i applied to trinity residence

[wind vigil]

when did you get it

[devout lagoon]

today

[wind vigil]

oh shitt

congrats bro

[devout lagoon]

thanks

[keen cedar]

🎉

[onyx sluice]

Still I don’t think you are in a college, I may be wrong though

I think you are put in a residence with other engineering students

[devout lagoon]

😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 🚫 🚫 🚫 🚫 🚫 🚫

[wind vigil]

ew engineering

[keen cedar]

Any update on the Pearson Scholarship?

[calm night]

none;(

[silk mirage]

When is the next wave for decision?

[twin idol]

@silk mirage ig 20th or 27th April

[onyx sluice]

Visiting UofT this weekend 🙂

[keen cedar]

Need pictures!!

Btw which is your residence college?

[onyx sluice]

University college

[keen cedar]

Ohh okay

[calm night]

hey, i observed the decision dates of the previous years using letters posted online,
pearson acceptances seem to often come out on april 16 ET

[devout lagoon]

is there any way I could negotiate with UofT for more scholarship money

huh?

[azure trench]

Someone on another server also says that he has received the lbp

[devout lagoon]

i recieved a scholarship the other day

i think they are releasing them right now

[twin idol]

What scholarship LBP?

[devout lagoon]

UofT engineering international scholar award

[twin idol]

Oh ok congrats

[azure trench]

That is different from lbp so that's completely possible

[devout lagoon]

some of these kids are cracked

[keen cedar]

Yep I did find some 14th April acceptances too so ig they are rolling.

[keen cedar]

Which server?

[silk mirage]

Anyone got this?

[azure trench]

Intl2USA

[twin idol]

Do you have a link of that post?

[inner junco]

Anyone apply to McMaster?

[dusty sigil]

i had ABB in A levels applied in all three campuses for cs scarborough put me into humanities other decisions are pending thoughts is there some grade cut off or smth is that why i’m getting rejected or is it other reasons

[dusty sigil]

what’s the cut off then

[onyx sluice]

1

@dusty sigil it says on the website

[azure trench]

There isn't any post. He just said that during a conversation.

[inner junco]

Anyone knows what’s better for BCOmm (Management) Ivey or Queens (Smith)?

[dusty sigil]

when does the last wave of decisions come out

[lusty glen]

Pearson coming out ??
I heard someone got it

[calm night]

Pearson results are out

Rejected:(

[mental furnace]

finally got the comp eng decision lol

got in anyway

[crude dust]

how risky is it to go to uoft sg for mathematical and physical sciences and then try to do cs after the first year. I got into UBCV and am waiting for uwaterloo. Is it even worth trying then?

[onyx sluice]

I’m probably doing the same thing as you except Astronomy and Physics

[pure skiff]

maintaining a high gpa's the only thing you have to do. transfer between programs at sg are pretty common afaik

that being said a drop in gpa could also result in you losing your major so there's a con to that as well

[onyx sluice]

We out here

I’ll send campus pics tomorrow when I go

[onyx sluice]

Yes

St George I’m in downtown rn

Not going on a scheduled tour

Damn nice

How far is it from u?

For me it’s like 7.5 hours

Yeah I’m from PA

Damn that’s just as far

Nice man

I’m not at the campus rn

[onyx sluice]

Beautiful campus

[pure skiff]

wtf no way these were taken on mobile

[devout lagoon]

Is this a city campus like NYU or does it have a campus feel to it?

[onyx sluice]

It is an actual campus but it is pretty much surrounded by the city

Campus was really nice

[devout lagoon]

Interesting, looks very opium

[devout lagoon]

Did people look depressed though

[onyx sluice]

Went in the morning so we didn’t really see anyone

At a blue jays game rn

[devout lagoon]

Maybe that’s a whole issue in its self ahahah

[wind vigil]

hello lovelies i got an offer from ouac but two minutes ago it says that decision still pending

does this mean i got in

[onyx sluice]

Just wait

You should probably get it soon on the UofT portal

[wind vigil]

thank you mr chimken

[wind vigil]

i got the letter

damn no cash

this sucks balls

[onyx sluice]

Why

What happened

[wind vigil]

no scholarship at all

i thought id get smthn

[onyx sluice]

Are u intl?

[wind vigil]

yeah...

[onyx sluice]

They don’t give shit to intls unless you got really good stats

Congrats on the acceptance tho

[wind vigil]

I got good stats tho

i think

[onyx sluice]

No I mean like stats that get you into ivy leagues and other schools like that

[wind vigil]

The other programs gave me 100k and 20k

[onyx sluice]

Then why are u complaining xd

[wind vigil]

are you int

[onyx sluice]

Yes

[wind vigil]

damn how are you paying

[onyx sluice]

I’m fortunate enough to be able to pay with minimal debt

It’s my best option and I really don’t want to go to a safety

[wind vigil]

damn

[mental furnace]

I did and missasaasasagua gave me 3k 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[keen cedar]

Me getting rejected from all the 3 ivy schools I applied to but still getting the scholarship

😭

[onyx sluice]

UofT is better than all ivy schools

[keen cedar]

Fr but ig I'm not gonna attend

[onyx sluice]

Where u going

[keen cedar]

Either IIT or Singapore(If NTU/NUS accepts me)

Though NTU was kinda a safety

So 🤞

[onyx sluice]

Don’t you have a full ride to Toronto tho

[keen cedar]

Nope they just gave me 100k

[smoky dagger]

oh

do they even give out full rides

it wouldnt be like them

[keen cedar]

Pearson

[smoky dagger]

they are known for being money grabbers

LMAO

[onyx sluice]

Can I have your 100k pls

[keen cedar]

38 people internationally for full ride

[keen cedar]

Sure if it is transferrable!!

[onyx sluice]

That means that 150 out of 65k undergrads have the full ride

[onyx sluice]

Nah it was a joke xd I wish you could do that

[keen cedar]

Well

💀

[onyx sluice]

Singapore is quite different from Toronto tho

[keen cedar]

Yeah but Toronto is like 8 times the cost of IIT and 4 times for NTU/NUS

So I'm looking at the ROI

And these schools are better

[onyx sluice]

Fair

[keen cedar]

Esp IIT-B/D for CS

[devout lagoon]

Tf??? I shouldn’t have gotten one then 🤣🤣🤣

[pure skiff]

you'd get CS at IIT bombay/delhi? wtf you're cracked

gl in advanced

[keen cedar]

Most probably yes

[keen cedar]

Thank you!!

[finite ice]

Gah damn

You must already be in the newspapers and shit

[keen cedar]

Well I've been in there for a few exam results but not anything too big

[tight grail]

which all US and Cad unis did u get into ?

[finite ice]

Well if you’re getting into IITB for CSE you sure will 😭

[keen cedar]

I haven't gotten in yet though

[finite ice]

Yea but you’re in that elite level. If not that you’re still getting something insane.

[keen cedar]

🤞

[keen cedar]

UofT (Only Canadian place I applied to), Purdue, UMich, and a few other places.

My app wasn't that grate cause my ECs -> 0

• Aid as an intl

[devout lagoon]

umich is excellent though

@finite ice didnt you get into cornell

[finite ice]

Nahh

Rejected ED

[dusty sigil]

how’s ucsd for DS and UNC for CS got into these

[pure skiff]

both are amazing

[dusty sigil]

alright thanks

[devout lagoon]

take whichever is cheaper

but UNC is better socially

[dusty sigil]

talking career wise

[wind vigil]

[keen cedar]

No exact date but the exam is on 4th June

So ~15days after

[wind vigil]

good luck

[onyx sluice]

[devout lagoon]

i think it is the main server

[onyx sluice]

[devout lagoon]

do you want me to invite you to the rest

[onyx sluice]

[onyx sluice]

[devout lagoon]

ah

lemme just invite u

who here has been admitted to trinity college though

[onyx sluice]

I found this thing

its not like a server tho I dont think

its like an actual discord thing

u cant join unless u have ur email tho

[ancient mural]

that's a student hub

joining that gives you access to all servers run by people who've also joined the hub

this is what a student hub looks like from the inside

[onyx sluice]

ah

I see

[warm hearth]

ayo in my acceptance letter it says 'Subject to approval by Governing Council, it is expected that fees for the 2023-2024 academic year will be approximately $65,410. This figure does not include compulsory incidental fees of approximately $1500 to $2000, and an enrolment fee for the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP)'

this means the total cost of attendance us 65k including dorm fees or does it not include the dorm fees>

[onyx sluice]

that is just tuition

[warm hearth]

Well not going then hahaha

[dusty sigil]

got waitlisted from missasauga cs math and stats program

is it hard to get off the waitlist?

[wind vigil]

nah

you can have my place

[dusty sigil]

is it hard to get off tho?

or what

any statistics on this?

[icy elk]

guys how much does it cost to accept u of t’s offer

[onyx sluice]

there's a 1k CAD deposit for internationals

I don't think Canadian citizens pay anything

[icy elk]

thanks!

[tight grail]

It’s 2k 😢😢

[onyx sluice]

For me it was 1k

I’m in the US tho

[keen cedar]

It's 1k for me too (India)

Though I did not submit but that's a diff story

[agile axle]

hi guys! does anyone know if u of t gives a grace period for the admissions deposit?
i paid already on ACORN but it's still awaiting confirmation, what happens if it only arrives after the deadline?

[pure skiff]

The deadline to deposit for U of T is 1st May as well right?

[agile axle]

yes

[agile axle]

there are only 2 business days between the time i paid and the deadline, idk if it will be confirmed in time

[agile axle]

do they rescind ur offer if ur payment is not recorded by then? even if you have already paid?

sorry im lowkey freaking out rn

[pure skiff]

i legit have not even got my decision yet

[agile axle]

bruh what

[agile axle]

for u of t?

i thought they already sent them out?

[pure skiff]

yup

this is what i got from them when i emailed them like 2.5 weeks ago

[agile axle]

oh what

that is so wack

but yea do u know if they allow a grace period?

[pure skiff]

no clue 😭

[agile axle]

💀

im actually freaking out bruh wtf

[agile axle]

do u know anyone else who might know?

[thick pawn]

doing gods work

[agile axle]

i see, thank you!!!

i hope UTSG is the same

[fading root]

i just stole this ss from a diffy server

[devout lagoon]

does uoft say ANYWHERE that they 'reserve the right to withdraw the offer of admission from any candidate who has made a commitment to and is holding a place at more than one institution concurrently.'

[onyx sluice]

Where all all of the future uofters

🇨🇦🍁

[pure skiff]

And an ‘a’ after that ‘e’ in “uofters”

[onyx sluice]

Hey bro it won’t be that bad

Also after graduating we will be racking in fat stacks

[prime locust]

is there any uoft 2027 server which is active? coz the one I’m in is ded af 💀😭

[onyx sluice]

There’s a general Ontario universities one that’s really active

I’ll send the invite

[wind vigil]

looks like i got to reject all 3 offers

i didnt get lester b so theres no point spending so much money

[keen cedar]

Literally me because a 100k scholarship is not enough!!

[silk mirage]

I heard someone paid deposit to both university of Rochester and UT, then two universities cancelled her offer, is that true???

[silk mirage]

Anyone know when is the latest day to pay the deposite?

[keen cedar]

It is on your acceptance page

[silk mirage]

I know, but someone said actually can be a bit latter? UT is not my first choice though

[onyx sluice]

I wouldn’t chance it

[devout lagoon]

did you get any scholarships at all

[wind vigil]

100k

but 0 for eng sci

[devout lagoon]

sheeeesh

which major?

[devout lagoon]

this is way more than what I got

[wind vigil]

but the thing is that even with 100k its still 200k more

plus living in toronto

[devout lagoon]

but u got in right

[wind vigil]

yeah

[devout lagoon]

which program did u get 100k for?

[wind vigil]

UTSC - Co-op BBA (Management & Finance) and Co-op BSc (Statistics - Quantitative Finance)

full title lmao

[onyx sluice]

Why did you apply if you knew you weren’t going

[wind vigil]

I applied for the Lester B Pearson

[devout lagoon]

hmm interesting

did you even want to go

[wind vigil]

it was one of my options

but i got into one of my targets

[devout lagoon]

which program

[onyx sluice]

No I mean why did you apply for the management program

And not just engi or whatever

[wind vigil]

why not

[pure skiff]

cause you weren't willing to take it anyway

[onyx sluice]

^^^

It’s a waste of time money and resources

[wind vigil]

I paid one fee for just applying and I got 3 options

I didn't waste any money

[rigid pumice]

when does the wl close

[pure skiff]

bro when do admissions close 😭

applied in feb and yet havent received my decision

[onyx sluice]

The mid may round

Tbf you should have expected it since you applied in Feb

[pure skiff]

Oh that exists?

[onyx sluice]

If you are Canadian yes

[pure skiff]

Nah Im international

[onyx sluice]

Oh nvm then

[pure skiff]

And I mailed them and they told me to expect it by the first week of may

[onyx sluice]

Wasn’t the deadline jan 30th tho?

[pure skiff]

Feb 1st

That’s when I submitted my app

[onyx sluice]

When did u apply

Ah

Yeah I wouldn’t be expecting an early result with that

[devout lagoon]

i applied feb 1st at 11:59 and got in april 4th tho

[keen cedar]

For me it was 15th Feb application and 24th March decision.

Got back pretty fast ig

[fading root]

nice

[keen cedar]

Do they send physical acceptance letters even if I haven't committed?

[restive trench]

yes

[keen cedar]

Kk ty!!

[pliant hornet]

UTSG CS or UW CS Honours + Co-op

[maiden valley]

uw for sure but if ur intl then maybe utsg for pr

[devout lagoon]

whats pr

[devout lagoon]

UW clear

[fading root]

Both fine, tho are you looking into driectly going into job market or doing grad

Either way utsg has asip

[ancient mural]

Permanent Residency, I think

[ancient mural]

it'd be wiser to make a decision based on what country you want to graduate from, cause both the unis are pretty damn fine in most aspects

[devout lagoon]

why would you get any more of a chance at PR at uoft than UW

[ancient mural]

cause both of them are in different countries?

wait, am I getting something wrong?

[devout lagoon]

you are

UW and uoft are in the same country dawg

[ancient mural]

uoft = University of Toronto
uw = University of Washington

[devout lagoon]

UW is university of waterloo

[ancient mural]

oh

[devout lagoon]

idk

[ancient mural]

lmao

my bad

[ancient mural]

I take this back

[devout lagoon]

if hes comparing those 2 schools id assume UW stands for waterloo as they have pretty comparable top tier CS programs

[ancient mural]

uw cs > utsg cs

[mental furnace]

ugh

cant believe i just let uoft cs go

i shoulda committed

mane whatever we move

[devout lagoon]

why didnt you

but you got into dartmouth anyways, however theres still time to commit to uoft although its unethical

[mental furnace]

mainly this

i just wanted a backup

[keen cedar]

Even I rejected UofT CS and a scholarship

😭

[devout lagoon]

where u going

[keen cedar]

Not decided yet

[onyx sluice]

Where did u get accepted to

Didn’t you say you wanted to go to Singapore? Or was that someone else

[keen cedar]

Yeah, IIT or Singapore

Though I haven't gotten my Singapore decisions back yet

[devout lagoon]

imo go to singapore

the unis there are better ranked plus singapore is an amazing location

[keen cedar]

Yeah I would think of going if I get in because the cost won't be a huge problem here, but the only drawback is the 3-year committment which I might have to think about

Though if I get a full ride, that would not be a problem.

[devout lagoon]

wdym bruh

at uoft it would be 4 years, or do you mean you have to pay the 3 years upfront

[keen cedar]

It is like if you attend NTU or NUS and want a grant and possibly a full ride you need to work in Singapore for 3 years after graduation which means no grad school for 3 years atleast.

[pliant hornet]

UTSG CS vs UWaterloo CS Honours + Coop

[dusty kernel]

UW CS ofc

(though u may want to consider utsg cs if ur more into research)

[fading root]

future goals?

[keen cedar]

What happened to Berkeley!?

[pliant hornet]

Still going

Just was curious

[keen cedar]

Ahh

[devout lagoon]

this a bit late, but getting professional experience can maximize your chances of going to grad school and even be better if you want to get a break from working to level up your skills and move up the corporate ladder

[keen cedar]

Yeah ofc experience is important but I'm not sure if I want to work in Singapore.

[dusty kernel]

is st. michaels college any good?
