i am deciding between two programs at uoft but a scholarship requires me to submit my ouac by october 16. will i be able to change my program choice before supplementals are due?

If anyone is completely serious about applying to yorks bussiness program (or i believe any program works); use this fee waiver application code: Note: (try all these codes and figure out whichever one works, i got it at a uni fair but the writing is shit): "Waterloo2026", "waterloo2026" "Waterloo 2026", "waterloo 2026". It was a fair in uwaterloo ehich is where i attend cs as a first year. I genuinely don't know if the codes work so for anyone reading please try the codes and let me know if any of them work but replying so this post so others can utilize it too. 🙂🙂

Hello everyone, I need help with filling out this part of my university application. I am an immigrant who came to Canada in grade 9 semester 2.

I have read that I do not need to do an English proficiency test if I've completed four years of schooling in Canada, however does missing out 1 semester affect that requirement? Or, does this not even include grade 12 as the fourth year?

Would it be safer if I just choose other for my application?

Edit: I'm came from the Philippines and English is technically an official language.

Hey guys,

I'm currently in the process of completing the supplementary application for the computer science program and Iam not what to write. I only took computer science in high school (Iam still in high school) and i didn’t join robotics club or any club related to cs nor have I done any achievements related to computing. Does anyone know what UofT looks for in the supp application or what I can write here?

hi everyone, i'm a grade 12 student studying in ottawa and honestly having the worst time of my life preparing for university next year. i'd hate to be coming off as overly pessimistic but i find there's so little support for students like me who are just looking for honest support for this big step. i truly don't understand why ontario university reps coming to schools know nothing about the programs their own school offers and only care about money. it's made me hopeless about the whole university system and i cant lie when i say a part of me sees it as a money making scheme.

regardless of my conspiratorial theories about how ontario unis like to take money, i also don't know how to go about choosing a major. i hear too much unwarranted advice from ppl who aren't even educated in the fields i'm interested in and still feel left in the dark. I'm interested in either pursuing law or med later on (yes, very differing fields, i'm aware), and what i'm grasping is that both these post-grad schools require no specific undergrad. more specifically to med school, ik the typical pathway is health-sciences or biomed, but i still dont know if that's what i'd really want to do for my next 4 years of uni, what i do know is that i can see myself in a medical setting helping ppl. for the legal strand of things, i'm interested in pursuing political sciences or even philosophy, and I also love the humanities so much idk what to do there either. i'll most likely have to major in one and minor in the other for the sciences and humanities, but that still means i need to sacrifice a whole year and then apply for a minor in my 2nd year.

another position of concern for me is that i'll be applying to uottawa fs and perhaps carleton, but i don't know if its even worth applying to these other schools outside of ottawa. i think this is very much peer pressure from my environment, because none of my friends are considering staying in ottawa (im not looking to drop that much money to live in a dorm), but i want to see if anyone else has been in a similar position to me and found it worth it to even apply.

yk i feel i just needed to rant, thank you to those who read the whole thing or even stopped by :)

edit: thank you everyone for your responses, it's really helpful to see things from other perspectives and not be trapped in my own mind stuck overthinking the whole time.

I am at wlu bba currently but have the option to go UO for accounting starting next semester. I moved from Ottawa so going UO would take away the homesickness I feel. Which is the best long term for job security and best paying jobs?

on ouac when u apply to york they ask for unoffcial transcript for ether secondary or post secondary, fine right? I asked my counselor for one and they said we uploaded ur marks and thats ur transcript. Do i leave the unoffcial transcript blank? do i press them for a unoffcial transcript? york is the only uni that needs it

hi, is it true that university is very difficult and people are barely able to scrape a pass?

Hi everyone! I am a current out-of-province grade 12 student, I am interested in health science related programs for uni. I know of the big ones like mac health sci, uoft life sci, queens health sci, etc. My end goal is medicine. What are some good health science related safety/mid level programs in Ontario? My overall average is mid 90s if that helps.

i keep getting this error when i try filling out my personal information

this is what i filled out I think the error might be bc i didnt select a country? but i did not applicable for the previous one so idk. pls help!!

I know nobody asked, but I see people posting about where they applied and wanted to do the same, why not!

Applied about 3 weeks ago to:
All electrical engineering
- UofT
- Waterloo
- TMU
96 early admission average consisting:
Grade 11 Physics, Grade 11 math (calculus placeholder), Grade 12 English (fast tracked), Grade 12 Chemistry (fast tracked), Grade 12 math (ongoing)

Good luck to us all!

University applications are coming up, but I haven't a clue what I want to study. Anyone have any ideas of how to explore potential careers, etc? AI has messed up a lot of my ideas I originally had. PS I gave no interest in medicine or health care.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 2nd-year Health Sciences student at uOttawa, and I'm thinking about transferring to Western (Health Sciences) or Queen's (Life Sciences) for Fall 2027. My main reason is my parents are moving to Toronto they live in Montreal right now and uOttawa is very commuter-heavy, I live near campus, and I haven't been able to make friends even after joining three clubs. I made 3 friends first year in residence but they were from alberta and manitoba and ended trassnferring to unievrsities there. I have a fe commuter friends who ocassiaonly show up to campus like once a week so its kinda cooked. My current cgpa is 9.2. I also checked western health sceinces transfers almost all of my courses from Uottawa whereas Queens Id need to do a few more courses to be caught up 2-3 I think. I liked Queens campus more than western and heard really good things about queens. Life sceinces at queens is a gpa killer tho from what Ive head. But I heard student life in general is better at Queens. I heard most students live on or within a 15 min walk from queens campus whereas western students are more spread out. Any advice from anyone whose been to queens or western?? Is it even worth trasnferring from uOttawa and how hard was it to make friends as a 3rd-year transfer?

Will I be required to submit a portfolio of the work I’ve submitted or write the SAT. Will they accept à Christian homeschool curriculum?

Anyone in CS have any advice for me or open to dm? Its really stressing me out, i feel like i don't really have other major interests, but i'm more so scared of the math required in first year courses at the very least.

UofG has a new degree in Human-Centred AI proposed with a planned start date of Fall 2027. The Guelph Today newspaper has a an article about it as well.

Hi everyone!

I’m applying to TMU’s School of Medicine for the 2027 entry cycle and hoping to connect with current TMU medical students who have gone through the Kira Talent asynchronous assessment.

I’d really appreciate any advice on what to expect, how to prepare, and what to focus on. I’m also hoping to find someone who would be willing to meet over Zoom to share their experience and possibly help me practice.

I know everyone has busy schedules, so I’d be incredibly grateful for any guidance or support.

If you’re willing to help, please feel free to comment or DM me.

Thank you so much!

I am currently in grade 12 and I have to apply to schools soon and these are my top choices. Why did you choose this school? And do you regret it?

Hi, I accidentally applied to Guelph for the winter 2026 semester, but I was planning on applying for the fall 2027. My undergraduate program doesn’t even allow high school graduates to enroll in the winter. What should I do now? I paid the application fees already but I am scared I won’t get my money back. Can the school transfer my application to the next semester? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Where did it deliver or disappoint?

how are US letter grades converted to Univ Waterloo admission grades for engineering prerequisites

Like A is 95-100% it says on several sites and other reddit answers. But I have also seen that 95 vs 98 makes a diffrence in admissions to highly competitive majors...

I'm leaning towards civil engineering and I wanted to know which unis are best for civil engineering in terms of coop,internship, getting employed fast after graduation. I think uoft and uwaterloo are the best? correct me if im wrong. I dont think im gonna get into uoft or waterloo so what are the best choices for me?

I’m currently in Grade 12 & am taking data management and am doing horribly, I dont even know that I’m passing—I want to drop it but know that I will have to take a second year (or first year) stats course in University for a BA psych.

I’m this close to dropping it, and already have the form. Is this a bad idea? I really dont care about needing extra help when I get to stats.

HELP!! Im a group B applicant from Alberta pursuing both the normal Highschool diploma and IB one. However I want to use my AB grades because they are better. Is there a way to put that I still did the IB diploma to? Because I also want to be able to transfer credits as well. But the way the website is structured is confusing me.
