How to Get Into the University of Toronto: Free Workshop for Grades 8-12
In this free workshop, we will show your family which marks the University of Toronto actually decides on and when: why most offers are made before final grades exist, how different U of T divisions treat a retaken course, and how the average a student is admitted with can also set their entrance scholarship.

Most families assume a university decision waits for final Grade 12 marks. At the University of Toronto, most admission decisions are made on interim marks. Offers go out in rounds from late January to May, and U of T says its final assessment places emphasis on the results of the most recent two years of study. For many applicants, that means Grade 11 final marks and Grade 12 midterms are what is on the table when the decision is made. The details differ by division, and those differences matter. U of T Engineering uses Grade 11 results where Grade 12 marks are not yet available, looks at individual course marks rather than only the average, and counts first-attempt marks only. Rotman Commerce makes conditional offers on Grade 11 finals and Grade 12 marks in progress, says all Grade 11 and 12 university and mixed courses may be considered, and recommends an overall average in the mid-high 80s. UTM uses the highest attempt at a repeated course for its admission average but may prefer single-attempt marks, and it does not count summer courses taken right before university. That same average can also set an entrance scholarship. At UTM, automatic domestic entrance scholarships are set by the average a student is admitted with, up to $12,000 over four years for 95 percent and above, and UTM says that award will not be reassessed later. UTSC awards its own scholarships at the time of admission, and U of T Scholars awards of $10,000 are considered automatically based on the average at admission. We will cover what this means at each stage: why Grade 11 counts sooner than most families expect, why a plan to retake a course later does not work the same way everywhere, and what Grade 12 students should have in place so their application is considered in the first round, which means applying by November 7 and completing next steps by December 1.
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.
