SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the admission process for the Engineering Science program at the University of Toronto (U of T). A Grade 12 student with strong academic performance (averages of 94% in both semesters) seeks clarification on their chances of admission to EngSci, especially after receiving early admission to Track 1. Forum participants confirm that while the student's grades are competitive, the lack of extracurricular activities may negatively impact their application. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the relationship between early admission to Track 1 and admission to EngSci.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of U of T's engineering admission criteria
  • Familiarity with Ontario high school grading system
  • Knowledge of the importance of extracurricular activities in university applications
  • Awareness of the different engineering programs offered at U of T
NEXT STEPS
  • Research U of T's Engineering Science program admission requirements
  • Explore the impact of extracurricular activities on university admissions
  • Investigate the differences between Track 1 and other engineering programs at U of T
  • Review successful application essays for U of T engineering programs
USEFUL FOR

High school students applying to engineering programs, academic advisors, and parents seeking guidance on university admissions processes.

Hi
I am currently in second semester Grade 12. My marks for first semester were 95 in Chemistry, 90 in Physics, and 99 in Advanced Functions. But I think I could have done much better in Physics had I tried harder. This semester my marks are a bit lower: 95 in Calculus, 82 in English and 85 in Data management. I'm getting in 94 in ESL Philosophy but I don't think it counts. Regarding Extracurricular activities, I have none except for part-time job. I've got early admission to T1 but wanted to know that can I get to EngSci U of T with the marks that I have now?

Thanks in advance

Yes, with those marks you should be able to get into EngSci.

No extra-curriculars might hurt you a bit but I am not 100% certain.

The fact that you received early admission to Track 1 though might mean that you did not get EngSci but I am not sure. It has been awhile since I applied to UofT engineering and I kind of forget how it works. When you applied, did you list your preferences in terms of programs such as EngSci, T1, ECE etc.? If so, the fact that you got admitted to T1 and not EngSci might mean that you did not get admitted to EngSci. I am not 100% sure though.

My first semester average was 94% and this semesters average is 94% and I didn't get into mechanical engineering but got an alternate offer to chemical engineering. U of T's admissions are very weird if not a little pedantic and annoying (people with lower averages have got into Eng Sci and mechanical engineering). I thought my essay was done well and I have quite a few extra-curriculars.
