Huge delimma

[blitzman]

that i'm afraid that if i don't get 85%, i wont be able to go into both the business programs which is U of T downtown and U of T scarbough. So i thought that if i apply for U of T downtown ( the mark requirement is 75- to high 70s) its a better chance of me getting in to at least one university thats close to Toronto. And plus i also have U of T SC for Co-up which i applied for, so if i do get 85% i will still be able to go into U of T SC for CO-UP. The question is, do u think this is a good decision?

Additional Q: since its social science (including economics) will they force me to take some social science courses in year one?

i'd wait till you get into your program, then figure out courses you need to take and not to take.

Even if you don't get acceptance to UTSG business program, do a year as an arts&science. this is quite useful:

mark requirement 75-high seventies is their nice way of saying don't apply if u dont have mid/high eighties. i definitly wouldnt count on getting into utsg commerce with 85. even utsc coop, still wont be a forsure thing.

Yeah. Nowadays, entrance marks to get into UT Commerence is HIGH! 10+ years ago, it was high 70's but the catch is, once you're in 1st year, students still needed to re-apply to get into 2nd year (unless you got guaranteed enrollement). 1000 seats down to 300. That was HARD!

I wouldn't have gotten in if I applied now.
