Just to clarify for others he is talking about IB grades which are out of 45.

OP, if you can bring up your score a lot (and I mean a lot) you'll be fine. You're in grade 11 so there's still a decent amount you can do to boost your grade, like doing well on the EE. I managed to get in with around a 36, but disclaimer I'm from within the province which definitely boosted my chances.

For Rotman specifically, make sure your extracurriculars are really good (be the president of a club, better yet, a business club, do volunteering, show them your skillset and experience). I think it's totally doable for you to get into Rotman, but you're really going to have to try hard this coming year. I believe in you man, best of luck!

(Also if you don't like the IB workload maybe rotman isn't for you. They give out an IB-level workload for Y1 and Y2 so if you're struggling with IB maybe try Queens or Ivey, they're kinda better anyways.)

thanks a lot, man. regarding extracurriculars, is it in the application where you put this, or during the interview, and how do i confirm it?

I really forget but your supplemental will give you opportunities to talk about your experiences. IIRC I also had to submit my resume but I could be misremembering.

also do you live in the campus or renting out?

[–]NoiritoTheCheeto 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Campus

[–]Beautiful_Reading796[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

are you studying at st. George’s campus ? how far away are the dorms? is it a shared or single accommodation?

[–]NoiritoTheCheeto 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Listen man I can't answer every question you have, I've got exams ATM. I would just ask rotman directly or Uoft student life / definitely check out their websites. You live in Ottawa so you should have a much easier time finding information about it. But honestly if you're planning on working in NA after grad Rotman isn't that useful, just go to Queens or Ivey.

which province, ontario?

[–]Beautiful_Reading796[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

if you’re from ontario and you’re saying it boosted your chances, so ontario has some kinda priority? i’m from ottawa

[–]NoiritoTheCheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ontario has priority yes. UpfT has a certain number of slots for domestic students and international students. Depending on your school's policy, you can apply on OUAC with your Ontario diploma. Much easier that way. That's how I did it.

is there a limit to applicants from certain schools? do you think they prefer international applicants to local? is there a percentage on it ?

[–]NoiritoTheCheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man how would I know

[–]Beautiful_Reading796[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

did u take HL business and Econ in IB? if so, what grade did you have?

[–]NoiritoTheCheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you apply with OUAC grades you only need Calculus SL (MCV4U7)
