| Selection | Selection for the St. George Campus was necessary in the past few years. You are advised to look at Mississauga and Scarborough too. After the deadline a list of candidates is made by drawing lots. The student placed on nr. 1 will be placed on their number 1 campus until one of the campuses is full. If a student has chosen a campus that is full we will check whether one of the other campuses is mentioned in the motivation letter. If so the student is placed on that campus. If not the student will be rejected for University of Toronto and we will check whether a placement for the second choice is possible. |
