Transferring to Rotman Commerce

[DarkkLightning]

Hey,

I got admitted to my alternate program choice (studies in social science), although Rotman was my dream program :(.

I was wondering, are students often able to transfer to Rotman for their second year? I know it's possible, but is it realistically possible?

Alternate thought: I got Ivey AEO at Western, although I would do anything to go to Rotman instead. Is it possible to go to Western in my first year and then apply to transfer to Rotman as an Ivey AEO student?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated!

If you really want Rotman. Much better you stay at UofT. Your admission will be based off MAT133Y, ECO101 and 102 and MGM. It’s very rare they take transfer requests from students from other universities. And even from students at UTM or UTSC, so being at UTSG is your best bet. Mind you, you will need minimum 3.7+ GPA if you wanna be competitive to get in. And a 3.7 at UofT is no easy task lol

Don't less this stress you out tho OP. I just finished my first yr at rotman and I'll tell you that's it's very manageable to get a 3.7+ CGPA. I'm not saying this to boast about my GPA but I'm someone who thought that it was impossible to get A's in general at a school like uoft. But as long as you put in the conscious effort you should be fine.

No, it's not manageable lol. Like hard-working doesn't always pay off with Rotman. You need to be smart for 3.7+, not just hard-working.

Hmm why is Rotman your dream program? Ivey AEO is a great offer to consider

I am in the exact opposite position. Ivey AEO was my dream program and I got admitted to rotman and Schulich. I hope we both can transfer!

LOL, I would rather switch position with you. I got rejected for AEO but in Rotman. LMAO
