When you're evaluated

Gated two years ininferredanalysis

You are not applying to a program.

Same structure as St. George with different vocabulary: you are admitted to a category, then apply to a program labelled Type 1, 2 or 3 depending on whether it has entry requirements and limited spaces.

The document's explicit framing line names UofT Life Sci without splitting the campuses. Classified the same as St. George on the strength of the Type 1/2/3 description.

The name on your offer letter is not the program you will graduate from. The decision that matters is a year or two away and runs on marks you have not earned yet.

What this rests on (2)

  • UTM — every program is labelled Type 1, 2 or 3, indicating whether there are entry requirements and whether spaces are limited. Same idea, different vocabulary.

Where sources disagree

  • GrantMe's U of T Life Sciences page (2022): "74% admission rate at UTM"

    explained

    • GrantMe's U of T Life Sci page (2022)

      "74% admission rate at UTM"

    • U of T (as summarized in the PDF)

      UofT does not publish hard cutoffs and describes admission as competitive rather than threshold-based.

    PDF: do not use GrantMe's UofT Life Sci page — its numbers don't align with anything official.
