Conditional offers of admission will be made based on appropriate Grade 11 and midterm Grade 12 marks. You must submit all required documents by the published document deadline for your program(s) of interest. Generally, successful applicants are among the top third of their class. In our assessment, we will consider all your Grade 11 finals and Grade 12 finals/midterms (in progress) with emphasis on courses specific to the program to which you have applied. If you present a course at both the Grade 11 and the Grade 12 level, emphasis is placed upon the mark obtained in the more senior-level course.
In determining admissibility, the University of Toronto reserves the right to take into account repeated courses, grades in specific subjects and other aspects of the student’s academic record.
If you have taken any Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate HL subjects, you may be eligible for transfer credit.
