Schools University of Toronto admissions average

AI Thread Summary
An applicant with an 83 average in grade 11 and a 70 in physics is concerned about how these grades will affect their chances of acceptance into the Mathematics and Physics program at the University of Toronto (UofT). They currently have a 92 in grade 12 physics and a 90 overall average in grade twelve. The discussion indicates that while grade eleven marks are considered for early admissions, they are less significant in the final evaluation. UofT values consistency in academic performance, and significant improvement in grade twelve could be viewed positively. Admission averages for UofT typically range from the low 80s to 100, with a mean of 83%-87%. Examples of successful admissions with lower grades suggest that grade eleven performance may not heavily impact acceptance decisions.

I had an 83 average in grade 11
A 70 in physics
I applied for mathematics and physics at UofT
I currently have a 92 in my grade 12 physics course, and a 90 average overall in grade twelve
I am wondering if grade eleven will reduce my chances of getting accepted

It probably would, depending on the applications they get. On the plus side, UFT will also be keen to know that you made such progress in one year, but on the down side, they might think you were just doing it for college. They are looking for some consistancy. Hopefully your other credentials are impressive? :]
 
I really doubt that they're going to care about your grade eleven grades.
 
They won't, grade 11 marks are only used for early admissions. The admission averages I believe are from low 80s to 100 with a mean of 83%-87%. I know someone who got into the Medical Science program with an 81% and that is more difficult then the A&S program.
 
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 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...
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...
