I'm kinda confused. For the program of political science I am applying to, the University of Waterloo recommends me to take mdm4u and mcv4u for economics, however, they do introduce the calculus course in the first year. However, if I take mcv4u would I still have to take mdm4u? Because university of Toronto requires mcv4u. Would I have to take both mcv4u and mdm4u then??

I would like to apply for an undergraduate program at McGill University that includes prerequisites for admission to medical school. Should I choose Biology or a type of Life Sciences? I'm a bit confused by the various Life Sciences programs listed in the application, but I believe I should select the one labeled "Microbiology and Biotechnology."

i got into both with the same scholarship and was wondering how they compared in terms of co-op, proffs etc.

Any recommendations for laptops in engineering?

Did anyone do the supp app yet and if so, could u guys tell me what it was like cuz im planning to do it soon and I’m rly nervous!!!

Hi! I don't really want to request my documents in an online format, and I do have my birth certificate and Government ID in person.

Can I just take a decent picture of them in a well-lit environment, with everything clear and legible, front and back, then convert them into a PDF file? Should I put it in one PDF file, or two separate ones with different names indicating which one is the birth certificate and which one is the ID? Should I censor any information?

Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I am a mature student and I am doing grade 12 credits online to get my OSSD to apply to fall 2025. I finished four 4U courses and I have midterm for other two 4U courses. Also I have to do English proficiency test. So I don’t have the transcripts for two courses and don’t have the English proficiency test yet. When is the right time to apply ? Is it ok to apply when I still don’t have all the required documents ?

I am about to finish a general Humanities degree from YorkU and have been working in insurance for about 3 years. Now, I was intially working towards a general business degree but have stupidly left the 3 hardest courses for the end and have switched to a humanitites degree as at this point I really just want to be finished with school. I have no plans of doing a masters and one of the reasons I have switched over to a humanities degree is I have switched career paths and this new career path of mine simply requries that I have a degree. Now, I would like to have a backup career and was wondering if a humanities degree would be detrimental to having a good backup career even though I have about 3 years of insurance experience.

Hi there,

I am interested in applying to Brock's bachelor of Accounting program through Mohawk's credit transfer agreement. Do I need two 4U math's in order to successfully transfer? The website only mentions overall GPA requirement but nothing about high school prerequisites.

This is the website I am referring to for context:

Did anyone get accepted into Western or Mac for nursing with low Casper and high GPA? Just got my casper result - 1st quartile… my GPA is 98%. How are my chances here? 😭

I'm currently an 18 year old about to graduate in April 2025 in the CBSE curriculum. Currently reside in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. My subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology.

I was initially looking forward to pursuing dentistry after undergrad, but seeing its competitive nature, I’m leaning away from it.

I am interested in the healthcare field itself, and I genuinely enjoy bio and chem. Looking forward to some careers besides a doctor or a dentist, that make upwards of 90K+ and are not super competitive. Also they must be available for a PGWP

Currently I’m looking towards Rad Tech, Respiration Therapy, maybe physio seeing u just need 2 years after undergrad, or ophthalmology. Another one that seems appealing is Paramedic since I’ve heard they make a good income.

I don’t mind doing an advanced diploma as well and furthering my career w study.

I know I’m being super picky, but I really have that dream to settle in Canada in a good healthcare career where after a few years of experience I’m making a really good income.

Would really appreciate someone guiding me on this.

hello i am no longer able to stay in the state where i reside in the US and will be moving to canada come fall 25 and want to pursue a masters degree. i am currently finishing my undergrad for information systems and am pretty set on getting my masters. the american uni i’m at has supply chain management, IT, and data science as its three choices in masters degree pathways for ISOM. what schools have similar degree pathways and what are my chances as an american to get into these programs? are there exams business students take to get into these schools, in the US we have the GRE or GMAT. would it be the same here or is there a different exam i need to prep for? i don’t know a single thing about canadian universities or their rankings so any help is appreciated thank you :)

I'm considering applying to the University of Toronto (UofT), but I've come across a lot of negative opinions, particularly regarding their grading system, and I’m unsure if it’s worth it. Most of the feedback I’ve seen isn’t related to the applications but rather to the academic experience, especially in terms of grading. Additionally, when I ask anyone they tell me that UofT is good because of it's big name. I'm just very lost, considering how UofT is the #1 university in Canada.

Could anyone provide insights into whether it's still a good decision to apply, and what the strongest majors or programs are at U of T? Are they truly competitive and beneficial, especially compared to specialized programs at other Ontario universities known for particular fields?

Additionally, what is the student life like at UofT? Despite some of the concerns, is the campus experience enjoyable and rewarding?

Thanks for your input!

Hi! All i rlly have to ask is in the title, but ill also mention that utsc is closer to me, and ig a plus is that I'm more familiar with the area. As for utm, its def further from me, and I would prob need to house near there. I don't think its worth it bc I'm still technically in the area, its just less convinent to commute to everyday. What are the pros and cons of each? are the utsc buildings rlly as bad as I hear them to be? What about shops around, workload, opportunities, etc? Any help is appreciated, tysm!

UPDATE- ADDING ANOTHER QUESTION ON HERE:

If anyone could give me some feedback or advice on my uni choices below it would be greatly, greatly appreaciated! For background, I plan on getting into a grad school and pursuing hopefully dentistry or pharmacy, so maintaining a good gpa is important for me. I also value the vibe/aesthetic around the campus, the overall opportunities, convience (as in good shops, resturants, transport, etc.), and preferably around the gta(?). Once again, any help is appreciated! :)

(So sorry theyre not quite in order ><)

My grades right now at the moment are not great. I've got a 70 in 11 Functions and 72 in Physics 11. I'm not sure if these grades are up to par to being able to apply for these specific programs. I want to go into UofGuelphs DVM program, any advice?

I'm still Grade 11 but seriouly worried about my future especially because my parents are gassing up that if I don't get into a university or any high tier one I'll be unemployed for the rest of my life or have low pay.

So I’ve been aspiring to go into the CS program at Western along with Ivey AEO.

However, I just have some concerns. As for having a career, would I be better positioned to do a business related dual degree (such as economics?). I initially didn’t want to do something like BMOS for the dual because it’ll won’t provide me with new skills, such is why I thought of CS.

However, would doing CS hurt me in the future? For traditional careers in finance and business wouldn’t an economics or financial modelling dual help me the most?

I’m a little worried that if I do CS, I’d be behind my Ivey peers in terms of recruiting and expertise, because they’ve been in a business related undergrad while I haven’t. I’ve also heard from one person that having “tech related” stuff on your resume severely puts you at a disadvantage to other applicants who actually have business experience, even setting aside the prestige of the school you went to.

I don’t mind working in finance and I don’t want to pigeon-hole myself into a CS degree thinking I’ll be just fine and face so many troubles down the road.

I don’t know anyone that I can talk if or advice which is why I came here.

Any thoughts on what I should consider? Ideally I was looking at economics because it’s more relevant, but still not as too similar to Ivey content (like BMOS)

My parents being asian are very particular about what University to attend, and say to never settle for any schools like York or TMU and always go for UofT, UofBC or even Waterloo. And I sometimes wonder what's actually wrong with schools like York or TMU? Is it because its impossible to find a job after graduating, because their programs just aren't as good?

Thanks everyone for all the replies, I just have another updated question.

If I'm planning to aim for a Veterinarian program should I solely aim for higher level schools e.g UofGuelph or UofQuebec?

I think I missed it... I really wanted to use my grade 11 marks

Hey, I'm a first-year student considering transferring to nursing. I'm aware I will have to start from the first year again, but I just want to know if I will be able to make it in and which universities are good for nursing/transfers. If anyone has transferred before, I would like some advice. Thanks.

do universities care if i take two gap years and apply again? the reason is due to family matters

Im from alberta and about to apply into uOttawa. I am confused about how u calculate the average of your 6 courses? I thought uOttawa only takes 5? If we look at top 5; Chem 30 - 87, Physics 30 - 88, Math 30-1 - 87, Calculus - 100 and English 30-1 - 72 (yeah screw english). This puts me at a 86.8% but if I were to use my top 6 courses, I would include Science 30 as well which is at a 98%. Including that in my average will put me at 88.66% average. I am currently taking a gap year and plan on getting into the dual degree program for Mech E and Comp Tech. Anybody got an idea if I have a chance to get into uOttawa??

Hello Everyone,

I am hoping to find some feedback, thoughts and advice that you have for my question here so appreciate any information that comes along.

My question, what would be the best college, university or educational institute to study psychotherapy, mental health and/or spiritual therapist, counsellor or coach in Ontario, Canada that is recognized by the CRPO or the necessary regulating bodies like it (for both academic and clinical), that can be completed in less amount of years like 2 or 3 years and that also costs significantly less for the entire program, maybe like 30,000 CAD or less for the entire program.

My profile is that I studied and work in the IT industry which basically has nothing to do with human counselling or therapy and I already have a bachelors in IT and an MBA.

However I do currently volunteer at a couple of mental health organizations and a community development organization in Toronto.

Thank You :)

I’m a 3rd BScN student in Ontario who needs to take an elective course this semester (winter 2025). I don’t like the options my school is offering and anything of interest is full. Does anyone know of any universities that offer electives to other students?

I'm currently an 18 year old about to graduate in April 2025 in the CBSE curriculum. Currently reside in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. My subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology. I aim to study dentistry in Canada. Which major should I choose to do this?

I'm looking for a major which is eligible for a Post Graduate Work Permit as well as has scope for further advancement if God Forbid, I don't get into Dental School.

Please suggest some majors, specially in Ontario, as I have many relatives living In Toronto and Sudbury who can accommodate me.

Looking to complete a course-based masters degree in nursing. Any suggestions?

I am a grade 12 student with an 80% avg and got into York for Criminology, Laurier for Criminology and Guelph Humber for Justice Studies (still waiting for TMU). but what do you guys recommend I choose? Also if there's anyone who did Criminology or Justice Studies I would like to know how your experience was as well and what jobs you were able to get.

Im planning on taking grade 12 calc in nightschool

So I'm a little lost in regards to applying for the accelerated programs. I graduated with a health related degree so I only need 2-3 courses in order to apply, I think. I'm a little confused because some schools have different standards on what each course needs to have. Are there courses available to take, that all Ontario universities accept? I'm missing anatomy and human physiology for context.

I'm in grade 12 in Hamilton Ontario and was setting my self up for college Business but recently I've been wanting to go to University since I fear that I would be missing out of opportunities and my biggest worry is that if I go to college I'm going to regret not going to Uni however for me to go to Uni I have to return for a grade 13 and get 2 university math credits and even though I've consistently gotten university level grades in all my courses math is my worst subject and the last time I took a uni math in grade 10 I got a 51% and that's the most eve studies for a subject ever so i don't know if I can do a uni level math course or if its worth it since I've been told that uni has the best opportunities for business but I've also been told that I'm wasting my time with uni since employers care about experience not certifications. So if anybody can tell me what they think, I'd appreciate it.
