hiya! i’ve heard you talk about bio120 before and ive gotten interested in being in STEM recently and am looking into it but i only took grade 11 biology, should i put it off for another year to focus on my other major while taking grade 11-12 math and chem online? that way when i take bio120 i can also hopefully take more stem related classes in general as well. any advice helps!

hi!! i’m in a bit of a weird situation and i don’t know where else to go so i can’t tell you how grateful i am for this site :)!! so i just transferred into uoft st. george as a first year history student (only 1.5 transfer credits) BUT i found my love for biology in the last couple years but that means i have very few high school pre requisites :(. i took grade 11 bio online and got the waiver for bio120 (fingers crossed i get into a class!) but i have no chemistry and no grade 12 math, ive been doing self study of chemistry and math (and some bio still) going through textbooks and thinking about taking a lighter course load and then taking at least grade 11 chem online and maybe a grade 12 math in second sem. would it be possible at all to load up on bio classes (as well as my history classes weird double major i know) and still get in as long as bio is an open major even if i lack so many pre requisites? sorry i know this is a weird predicament but any help is appreciated!! tyty <33

hey aska,
incoming first year here. in high school, i took two dual credit courses (you get high school credit as well as university credit for taking them) at an accredited canadian university
both were 200 level courses that were pretty surface level so i did end up doing well in them.
i’m hoping to get the credits transferred onto my uoft record because that would be two less classes i have to take. i’m not looking for these courses to count towards my degree or my gpa or anything i literally just want the credit.
the transfer credit tool was no help, and neither was reddit because they’re mostly concerned with degree requirements and prerequisite courses and stuff.
so basically what i’m asking is. as far as you know, would i be able to get the credits transferred? or is there no way of knowing and the registrar can just be like ‘nah’?

Hi, I'm a grade 11 student in ontario and I'm taking advanced functions and I'll get roughly an 89 or 90 if I do really good on the final. The thing is, my school doesnt offer calculus so I'll have to apply with my AF grade unless i take it in nightschool the first semester of next year. So how are my chances of getting into rotman (finance and economics) and if theyre not good, should i take calculus in night school to get a better grade and apply with that? if not, what can I do to improve my chances

Hi, I want to apply to rotman finance and economics but i have an 88 in advanced functions and a 95 in english, my school doesnt offer calculus first semester so I'll have to apply with my AF grade unless i take it in nightschool so how good are my chances, and if theyre bad should i take calculus in night school or work on a strong supplemental application?

Hi aska! Hope you’re doing awesome!
I’m a grade 11 student, and I plan on applying into the finances and businesses for Uni, I can’t say exactly what I’m applying for since I unfortunately haven’t decided yet (I couldn’t even decide if I want to go int social sciences or business 😢). Tho unfortunately I’m failing a class, it’s a communication technology course (I have a 40% in that class), which has dragged my average down by a lot. My other classes are in high 70s and low 80s, and I have two courses (one of them is night school) in the higher 90s. Despite that, my average is around a 78% currently, which is freaking me out since I’ve been told grade 11 matters for university. I wish I could blame my teacher for it (since it’s technically his fault I can’t lie….hello you’ve been suspended for 67 years why are you still failing me….)
I wanted to know if my fail would matter and if I still have the possibility to get into the more competitive business courses (like accounting for example) or just into UofT in general. It’s been a very rough year so a lot of my grades are impacted by my mental health and current living situation, but I don’t know if that would make any difference when it comes to admission and looking over at my grades (A.k.a be kind to me world I’m just a baby….)
Ok thank you aska! You’re awesome and I hope I’m not cooked….🥹

Hi! I am an international applicant and got admitted to CS Co-op @ UTSC. I have accepted the offer and applied for a study visa. However, I am most probably getting an aggregate final score of high 80s even though I predicted high 90s. The drop will majorly be due to Physics and Chemistry, though Math and English will still remain strong enough. Do I risk my offer getting rescinded by any chance? Thank You!

Hi aska!
I was wondering if uoft can reject you based on grade 11 grades? Or if you don’t get in through early admissions can you reapply w/ grade 12 grades? And do they only care about grade 12 grades?

Hello, currently a grade 12 student in my final semester and I've already been accepted to the other 2 campuses, life sciences for scarborough and Forensic. Currently panicking my mind with admission to the St George Campus for Life Sciences as with my first semester finals (83.3%) and 2nd semester mid-terms combined (86.7%), my average looks to be in the gutter with an 85% average currently. Since there will be 2 final rounds of admission in may, I felt like my chances are on the bleek side.

Hey, So I have some questions as a grade 11 student in Ontario. So I want to apply to life sciences (Chemistry) and Mathematics and physical sciences. I had a 80% in functions last sem, should I take advance functions in the Summer so Uoft looks at it as my course to refer to my math grade and is Uoft okay with taking summer classes? And how to perform well in advance functions in the summer and will I have a big gap going into Calc after. Thanks

Hi aska!! This is my first time stumbling onto askastudent, and I've been able to gather a lot more info on uni, which thanks sm!! :P And for my question(s), I was wondering if it matters that I fail a course? I'm in grade 11, and I actually have 5 credits right now (that is if I don't fail one of those courses 😔). The subject itself isn't important to me since it's a yearbook course, and I'm planning on going into the social sciences or politics, preferably in St. George (or other campuses I'm still debating 😢). But I also know UofT (and I'm gonna guess other unis as well) looks at grade 11 courses, which is kinda freaking me out :( I do have a 86% average right now (without the course I'm failing since there hasn't been a grade out for it yet.... 😔), I'm doing decent-ish in my courses, esp w my current mental health and constant missing school for counselling or other issues 💔. I also wanted to know if universities would care that there's a sudden boost in my grades for gr12 (hypothetically, if I could even manage that 💔). I'm only doing pretty poorly now because of my current family situation and from missing a bunch of school, I obviously plan on doing much better in gr12 and I was planning on taking Virtual school for the maths because I work better at my own pace, but I'm worried UofT would think I'm cheating and not that I'm actually able to lock in or something like that because my 85% in math is suddenly 90% or more (My mom keeps telling me this so I'm kinda scared 💔) and a lot of people keep telling me a lot of different things like grade 11 doesn't matter only gr12 does, or that gr11 really matters. And then I get told if I fail a course, or get my average under 85% I can't get into any "good" programs, so I really just don't know what to believe, and I can't exactly trust everything Reddit says all the time 😖 What should I do aska I'm really scared 😥

Hi aska :) i had a few questions about placeholder programs for POSt. I'm pretty sure I won't be getting into the T2 or T3 programs I want this round so I've enrolled in a T1 just to have something there for now until next year. However, i was wondering if it was allowed to be enrolled in it for the sake of having a program while not taking the courses required, instead just taking the ones for the T2 and T3 i want? I won't get kicked out or barred or anything, will I? :c

Hi, I'm looking to apply as a non-degree student at U of T to strengthen my GPA for law school. I got my undergraduate degree in business in the UK, I graduated with high honours but WES converts my grades back to a 3.5, so needing to strengthen my GPA for law school. What is non-degree studying actually like, do you have to take a full course load or just a few courses. Also, does it matter what courses and level you take if just trying to strengthen gpa for law school or grad school?

Hi aska! I’m a first year student at the Daniel’s faculty (about to be a second year and have also studied a year prior at the university of Waterloo ) and I am having difficulties with the courses assignment outlines. Throughout high-school I was given very detailed assignment outlines and would average high 80s to mid 90s. When I first entered post secondary schooling at Waterloo I was able to perform to my best capabilities and average mid 80s to low 90s due to their detailed assignment outlines. However the switch to UofT has been difficult since the assignment outlines I get are either very vague and around 2-4 sentences in length, some without rubrics to accompany them. My marks are not at the level that I know I can achieve (around high 60s to high 70s). I was wondering how I would be able to get a more concrete understanding of the assignment and perform well on them. I do constantly ask professors, TA’s, and instructors for help but I find most of their responses to be completely useless or they don’t answer the question I was asking. What should I do?

a herald of good news
reddit is not the only new frontier aska has ventured into lately --- i have officially escaped the internet!
and where have i fled, exactly? why, to innis college’s very own newspaper, the innis herald.
if you’ve ever been curious about the history of the askastudent project, why and when it got started (hint: a long long time ago), or why we still even exist in the age of r/uoft, go read my article (right here)!!
if you’re personally more a fan of physical media, or if you're just an aska superfan, you can also go pick up a print copy of the paper at the innis college building (at the st george entrance or on the second floor library) or at the innis residence.
happy reading!
cheers,
aska
