AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student's academic performance and prospects for admission to the University of Toronto's Engineering Science program. The student has excelled in math, chemistry, and physics, but has a lower score in English, raising concerns about meeting admission requirements. The conversation highlights that while English proficiency is important, it may not be the most critical factor in the admissions process. The possibility of needing to take the TOEFL exam is mentioned, with a suggestion that a score of around 75 would be advisable. The student also clarifies their math background, indicating they are taking Math HL, which includes calculus, and shares additional grades in Mandarin, history, and Theory of Knowledge. Overall, the emphasis is on the student's strong performance in STEM subjects and the need to improve English proficiency for a better chance at admission.

Hello guys, i am new here. Currantly, i am in grade 12 IB in vancouver. And after first term, i got 99 in math, 100 in chem, 97 in physics and 66 in english. However, since i have been in Canada for only 3 years up to now and my first language is not english, what's my chance to get into U of T's Engsci? And will the admission office ask me to write the TOEFL exam?
Thank you

Your marks are good other than English. If you required to take TOEFL then I guess they will look at it. Though english is not the most determining factor, but you still should get it higher.(Hopefully 75)

Actually, I am in math HL, which includes calculus and other stuff. Also, I got 95 on mandarin, 72 for history and 72 for Theory of Knowledge for term 1 in grade 12.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science.
