Schools Engineering science at the University of Toronto for A levels students

AI Thread Summary
For admission to the University of Toronto's Engineering Science program, high academic performance is crucial, especially for international students. The program is highly competitive, with Canadian students typically needing very high marks. The discussion highlights that while the individual has achieved strong AS Level results (A's in Math, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) and a respectable SAT score, the acceptance rate also depends on the overall applicant pool. It is recommended to check the specific admission requirements for international students from British-patterned education systems, as outlined on the university's official site. Maintaining high grades is emphasized, particularly in subjects relevant to engineering, as they enhance job prospects post-graduation.

Hi I'm doing A levels now and I'm planning to go to University of Toronto next year September for engineering science, my question is what are the grades needed for my AS and A2 level to get into engineering science? My trial results are A in Chemistry and Math, A- in physics and B in biology.

Are you Canadian? I looked at a similar university, London City University, which needs B's and A levels including math. However, I would advise doing your best to get A's because it always looks good to have A's when you finally look for a job. That said, a B in biology is not so bad but it could easily become a C so I would work especially hard to keep that from happening.

I'm not a Canadian I lived in Southeast Asia. But I actually just need my AS physics and I feel that I did not do very well in my paper 2 so I'm worried that I will not get accept by university of toronto engineering science. But thank you.

I do not know the grades needed by international students for Engineering Science at U of T, but Canadian high school students need very high marks to get into the program. If you consider all (not just engineering) programs at all Canadian universities, Engineering Science at U of T is one of the most difficult programs to get accepted into.
 
So I just received my actual GCE AS Level results and also SAT results, I got 4As (math, bio, chem, physics) GCE AS Level and 1360 in SAT ( 620 reading, 740 math). I'm wondering what are the chances of me getting into u of t engineering science? And also in my SPM examination (Malaysia examination equivalent to IGCSE O Level), I received 9A+ and 2A.
 
To @Lalala , my suggestion would be to first look into the admission requirements required for the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Engineering of the University of Toronto, if you haven't done so already. Here is a link below, specifically looking into those international students from a British-patterned education, as would be offered in Malaysia.

From the sound of things, it looks like you have the recommended requirements for admission into any engineering program offered at the University of Toronto, including Engineering Science. However, keep in mind that all engineering programs at the school are limited enrollment programs, so whether or not you will be admitted will depend greatly on how many students apply to the program.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
