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)

Did you take cal and functions for math? And there's one more course I think. (they look at 6)
 
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.
 
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
