Admissions

During high school, the one major thing that worried me days and nights was admissions. I constantly thought about which university would accept me, and where I would be in September…

With many other highschooler sharing the same struggles, I’m making this reference post to provide a detailed timeline about admission dates. Don’t be anxious, you got this!

Hope it helps! You’re welcome to share this info. Please give credit(leyi wu, leyiwu.me)

Background

As you can tell by my home page, I was very fortunate to be at UofT to study CS. Before that, I studied at a high school in the Greater Toronto Area under the STEM program.

I graduated with a Top 6 Final Average of 98. My average at the time of admission is 97.4

My areas of interest are usually Computer Science, Engineering and Business. My timeline reflects that. Most of the schools I applied to are in Ontario, Canada. So this is an Ontario University admissions timeline or a Canadian University admissions timeline.

I received $1,500 - $6,000 on scholarships for all my offers of admission.

✅ means admitted ❌ means rejected ❌✅ means deferred to another program
