HIGHEST-PRIORITY GAP. Rotman is an A&S admission category, and the one other A&S admission category in this dataset — Life Sciences — is documented as gating students a year in through the POSt system. That parallel is a reason to suspect a gate here, not evidence of one. Do not classify this until an official Rotman or A&S page is checked.

A supplementary application is required, due Feb 1, 2027.

Rotman Commerce is an admission category within Arts & Science, structurally the same as Life Sciences — but the data does not say whether there is a competitive specialist or POSt entry after first year.

What this rests on (1)

  • How to actually apply: OUAC → University of Toronto → Faculty of Arts & Science, St. George → then select Rotman Commerce from the program list. It is an A&S admission category, not a separate faculty application.

Supplementary application

Rotman Commerce Supplemental Application required and submitted through the general Join U of T portal, not the Engineering Applicant Portal. It includes a written component plus a required asynchronous video interview. The interview is self-recorded rather than live and cannot be restarted once begun (not stated by Rotman).
UnconfirmedSources disagree

Written + video, Kira and unlimited practice are official; "cannot be restarted" is community-reported.

Naming

U of T calls it a Supplemental Application (Queen's and McMaster say "Supplementary").

Additional details

Admission structure

Not individually verified

Alternate offer

"If you selected the Computer Science or Rotman Commerce admission categories, you will have the option of selecting a second admission category for consideration on the JOIN U of T portal. Selecting a second admission category does not affect eligibility for your first-choice category. Admission is subject to space availability and will be evaluated after all first-choice applicants have been considered."
Sources disagree

Quoted from U of T Arts & Science in the PDF; not individually re-opened.

Grade 11 counts

"All Grade 11 and 12 U/M courses may be considered by the admissions committee. At minimum, an overall average of all grade 11 and 12 courses in the mid-high 80s or above is recommended."

Where sources disagree

  • Rotman Commerce supplemental fee: $52 (Rotman, OUAC) vs $51 (OUInfo)

    unresolved

    • Rotman Commerce — Our Supplemental Application

      "There is a $52 Supplemental Application fee, paid with the submission of your OUAC application."

    • OUAC — Undergraduate Fees

      Rotman Commerce "$52"

    • OUInfo TAC (re-opened 17 Sept 2026)

      "An online Rotman Commerce Supplemental Application must be completed. An additional fee of $51 is required."

  • Rotman Commerce: what happens if you miss the 1 December early deadline

    explained

    • Rotman Commerce — Important Dates page (as quoted in the PDF)

      "Due to the intensive review process, submitting after this time means we may not be able to consider your application until after the March round of admissions decisions." / "*Note: All Ontario secondary school applicants are treated equally during the assessment process so long as their supporting documents are received by the regular deadline."

    • Rotman Commerce — Ontario High School Applicants page (as quoted in the PDF)

      "...submitting after this time means we may not be able to consider your application until April or May." / "Ontario applicants will be evaluated throughout the spring…"

    PDF reading (editorial): for Ontario high school students the asterisk applies — assessed equally if documents are in by Feb 1; safe advice remains to hit December 1. Unresolved; worth an email to Rotman recruitment.

  • Rotman supplemental page: "Applications for September 2027 will open in the fall of 2025"

    explained

    • Rotman Commerce — Our Supplemental Application (re-read 17 Sept 2026)

      "Applications for September 2027 will open in the fall of 2025."

    • Rotman Commerce — Our Supplemental Application / Important Dates

      The same page gives 2026–27 dates: early consideration November 7, 2026; documents December 1, 2026; final deadline January 15, 2027; final documents February 1, 2027 (11:59 PM EST).

  • PDF says Rotman's video is "strongly recommended"; elsewhere it is required

    unresolved

    • PDF p.15 (Waterloo supplementary section)

      Both are "required for admission" according to Waterloo's own language. This is not a "strongly recommended" situation like Rotman's video.

    • PDF p.10 (Rotman reference)

      It includes a written component plus a required asynchronous video interview.

    • Rotman Commerce — Our Supplemental Application

      "The application includes short written and video responses which give us the opportunity to get to know you better." (the Supplemental Application is required of every applicant)

    No official Rotman page checked calls the video "strongly recommended" (that phrase is OUInfo's wording for Waterloo's interview — see K01). Found while building programs.json; the PDF text was not changed.

  • PDF: "Rotman is the only one of our five with a real fallback"

    unresolved

    • PDF p.73–74 (editorial)

      THE ALTERNATIVE OFFER — Rotman is the only one of our five with a real fallback … it is the only built-in safety net across the five programs.

    • PDF p.22

      Waterloo has a limited safety-net system … one alternate Engineering program if rejected from their first choice (Engineering Program Alternate Choice form).

    • PDF p.36 (U of T Engineering)

      Applicants rank at least 2 and up to 4 Engineering programs within the same OSP. This creates a built-in safety-net system.

    • PDF p.52 (McMaster Engineering)

      Fall 2027 change: applicants rank up to two choices (a program or the Discovery Track)

    The comparison on p.74 lists only Queen's, Western and McMaster; the Engineering programs covered earlier in the same document do have application-time alternates. Found while building programs.json; not changed in the PDF.

  • Rotman Commerce supplemental format: the three community sources disagree on counts and timings

    explained

    • Youthfully

      Written 2 × 200 words, 20 min each; 2 videos; set video 60s prep + 60s; random video 60s prep + 60s; 6 questions (2 admin)

    • MYLS

      Written 2 × 200 words, 20 min each; 2 videos; set video 30s prep + 45s; random video 60s prep + 60s; 4 questions

    • GrantMe

      Written 3 × 20 min each; 2 videos; set video 45s record; random video 60s prep + 60s; 5 questions

    PDF: they disagree on the count but agree on the shape (set + random, written + video). Publish the shape and say the exact count varies by year and isn't published.
