How to Get Into the University of Toronto: Free Workshop for Grades 8-12
In this free workshop, we will walk your family through the course sequences that sit behind each University of Toronto program, so you can see which programs a student is still eligible for at each grade and which ones quietly close when a prerequisite is skipped in Grade 10 or 11.

We will start with the mechanism most families miss. Admission to U of T is by program, and each program publishes its own required Grade 12 courses, which in turn require specific Grade 11 courses, which require specific Grade 10 courses. That chain means the set of U of T programs a student can apply to is largely settled before Grade 12 begins, and it is settled by timetable decisions that rarely feel important at the time. We will map those chains for the programs families ask about most, including Life Sciences, Engineering, Rotman Commerce, Computer Science, and Arts and Science, and show where the common drop-off points are. We will then cover how the top 6 Grade 12 U course average is built, why the required courses are counted whether or not they are a student's strongest marks, and why competitive averages differ so much between programs at the same university. We will explain how the St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough campuses differ in program mix and admission bar, and when applying to more than one campus is a sensible strategy rather than a fallback. We will cover the supplementary applications that carry real weight, including the Rotman Commerce supplementary with its written and video components and the Engineering supplementary and optional video. We will finish grade by grade: what course choices matter as early as Grade 9, what Grade 11 families need to lock in this year, and what Grade 12 families should be doing now that OUAC is open.
Parents and students in Grades 8-12 are both welcome. The session is live on Zoom, and we email the link and a short summary after you register.
