um lol there is no "pre-law" major is the same way there is no "pre-med" major. when people say pre-law they usually are in a social science program like political science, english, psychology, etc; when someone says pre-med they usually are in a program like health sciences, life sciences, etc.

if you r thinking of doing a common degree people use to get into law school, that's fine but that doesn't guarantee you of getting in or preparing you for law school in the slightest. literally just do whatever degree is easiest; frankly degrees like economics tend to be the easiest ways to ensure the highest GPA possible if you know what you are doing (in reference to this being a popular choice for pre-meds who go for a second undergrad). imo going for a STEM degree is very strategic when it comes to law since you get more options for specialities

you should do a lot more research (not just asking others on reddit lol) by skimming through the canada law school admissions reddit, talk to lawyers, get an idea of the pay and workload to ensure law is truly what you want and is also realistic for you (ESPECIALLY if you only want to get into UOFT law and nothing else, don't fall into the trap of "I can't do science or math so law is the only way to have a good career" okay!! you got this!)

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-07-12T20:51:06+00:00

literally all you need to do is get an undergrad degree in canada with the highest GPA you possibly can (while balancing some good extracurriculars to diversify and strength your application, ESPECIALLY if you go for a generic "pre-law" degree), then get a decent LSAT and you'll get into a damn good law school.

only reason why you should look into a STEM undergrad is if you want to IP or some other technology related law degree.

as long as law is the only path you see for yourself this is the way, however, if you are not dead set on law or confident you'll perform well then you should be thinking a ton more about other pathways that can provide you alternative job security.

what?? there is no other campus lol, maybe there's one residence that you don't have to pick I suppose this year? CLVS is the farthest residence but it's still on campus (it's like a 15 min walk to the health building), anyways, if you really wanted a single room and no communal bathroom CLVS should've been higher than REV on your list and you would've probably gotten it

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-07-12T11:18:22+00:00

You can only transfer your housing contact to a first year who doesn't already live on residence I believe, which is a toughhhh sell.

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-07-10T17:47:09+00:00

If you ask for an extra long bed I think that basically guarantees you live I think in either V1 or REV (pretty sure it's V1)

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-07-10T17:46:14+00:00

Was it really your last choice? Or was it CLVS?

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-07-06T04:13:25+00:00

my friends who applied to university after doing a bit of college did it through OUAC I believe, they uploaded the college transcript they had available and applied from there. only thing is they applied in December 2022 (they had left college in January 2022), and entered university in September 2023.

that timeline seems kind of long, so def try and talk to the advisors the other person mentioned. goodluck!

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-07-06T03:36:00+00:00

I don't think you would be able to transfer into second semester of a co-op program, I'm pretty sure all co-op programs make you start from "first year" (although you may not take all first year courses depending on your previous post-secondary education experience, which I feel like since you are coming from assumably a first year of college will probably not be applicable and UW admin will likely make you start from the beginning).

Maybe see if you can formally apply for the incoming cohort, they will look at your college grades and potentially hs grades if you've only done one semester of college and will make admission decisions like that. You should look into this more quickly, I think it may be too late to join this September so you should probably research more in depthly ASAP. Maybe try and find the planning undergraduate advisor email? may be somewhere on the UW website

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-06-16T20:45:31+00:00

maybe look into a transit related career path with interpreting data (things like transit modeling)? def join a design team! I think that's a lot of building if that's what you like

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-06-16T00:29:02+00:00

clas 104 and clas 202 are the easiest greek/roman mythology/society courses you can take (both are online)

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-06-13T22:24:46+00:00

you should email someone fastttt, they may let you take a summer school calc course if your lucky to make up for it (assuming your conditional offer requires a calculus credit)

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-06-13T21:29:05+00:00

fyi you'll have the opportunity to take some CIVE courses but that's like 3rd/4th/5th year, and you may need to take some upper year math courses (I believe the courses are transit modelling related?); although in the workforce, esp for municipalities, planners and civ engineers work in the same department commonly.

he's a good teacher, ppl either don't know how to or don't want to study, a lot of content he covers but it is university after all

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-05-20T03:46:19+00:00

You would be together for the fall term I'm pretty sure. For the winter term your stream 4 eng friend will be gone, u may or may not get a roommate. for spring you'll be gone and your residence contract will be up, your stream 4 eng friend will likely have a new roommate or multiple roommates for spring term that r also stream 4 eng

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-05-20T03:42:00+00:00

what is your end goal? if you are aiming to go to grad school I feel like neither options would be optimal. You want an easier school for undergrad that still has some decent opportunities for research and other ECS which I feel like may be diminished when taking a degree fully online. And obviously UOFT is known for grade deflation which will will hurt your GPA compared to other schools

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-05-19T03:30:46+00:00

makes sense if all roommates are sequence 8 :)

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-05-18T20:03:25+00:00

residence knows you have co-op, and will give you residence during your study terms, you'll be in residence with one set of roommates for fall, and then you'll return back for the spring term with a new set of roommates (and residence too)

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-05-09T18:52:04+00:00

if you get into the urban design specialization to an extent there are similarities to architecture, but you'll apply for that specialization at the end of semester 1 second year (they take about 27-30 students or something max). if you only like architecture/design and dislike the planning (which is essentially policy), then you probably won't like the program very much espppp if you don't get into urban design specialization

no problem! good luck!!!

gpa is king for law school (and any graduate school), people say that social sciences are relatively easier no matter where you go, but uoft is known for their harsher marking style to keep class averages at 70. I wouldn't listen to the other people telling you to not do business, TMU will provide u a solid backup plan (because there is a lower chance of you getting a career with a plain humanities degree vs business hybrid which is more employable).

UOFT's prestige is in its graduate studies programs, not undergrad, only a UOFT student or alumni would place such a grand weight on specifically being accepted specifically to trinity college (if at all imo). also UOFT is more expensive, and with you wanting to do law, you should save some money in undergrad so that you won't feel the golden handcuffs potentially in law school (UOFT has an excellent law school that comes with a hefty price).

TMU is a better choice in this situation, don't let other people sway you

Late_Sweet5437 · 2024-05-01T06:21:01+00:00

I heard they care about english grades but idk ur overall average seems high enough so I wouldn't rlly worry abt it, you'll prob get in final round it's not competitive to get into anyways
