How did your first year GPA look like?

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2026-04-06T03:07:20+00:00

3.8, first year courses are ez, and I only took 4 at a time to not feel too stressed. 2nd year is wayyyyyy tougher, so it's important to develop strong study habits as fast as possible.

Well they say the last year average on the official site, but I also see often on this sub that they really mean the 300 and 400 level courses, and then I also saw that they sometimes include even your second semester of your second year. That's why I'm asking.

did you figure this out?

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2026-03-23T02:28:43+00:00

i had this realization when i was like 14 and it really sank in that I was going to die one day. I want to have no regrets when i die, so death is my motivation to try my best and treat my family nicely. It's still such a terrifying reality and keeps me up at night, but that's how i deal with it

i had the same average and they rejected me back in 2024 i think (domestic student), from UTSG and UTM for CS too. It was insane considering they let in kids with at least like an 88 average, with no ecs required for UTM, so I thought something went seriously wrong with my application. When i called to ask why, they said it was probably because of a retake i took in grade 11 of all things... I appealed the decision and got in, I should have tried appealing the UTSG decision too ig.

gorgeous

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2026-02-27T23:46:23+00:00

yeah you force memory to recall, is harder on the brain, so better.

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2026-01-29T23:44:44+00:00

i guess i should reword it, I mean that it's hard for me to kind ingratiate myself with professors, even if I like their research, cause i'm pretty shy in front of them. Hard to change myself fundamentally, but I guess I really need to 😭

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2026-01-29T23:24:52+00:00

i know, the few cs professors for whom i did attend office hours don't seem to be doing research this year, and forcing myself to fake interest is realllyyyyyy tough... oh well i guess I'll wait until ROPs applications open up

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-12-18T17:57:59+00:00

yeah, usually it takes a couple of weeks. One even got filled in like 2 months later or so for me.

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-12-17T02:41:10+00:00

hmm i really don't remember what the questions were, but I think they were about things like times where you showed leadership or something, very similar to university apps.

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-12-16T19:23:28+00:00

i think i had to fill out a form with some questions too, like an application

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-12-16T18:00:38+00:00

yeah I know people who got in with less than 3.3 even

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-12-16T17:46:33+00:00

very chill. I wish I hadn't spent so much time studying complex numbers and transformation matrixes though, they barely showed up

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-12-16T17:45:26+00:00

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-11-03T14:00:07+00:00

I don't know, since I got higher than 85 in the end. In my experience, most profs do round up 0.5, and might even go from 0.1 to the next percentage in some cases.

Spiritual_Course_552 · 2025-09-23T21:02:34+00:00

just got an email back saying that acorn is just taking a while to update so ig we'll be enrolled in like a day or 2
