Yup, went to York. Didn't look back!

I know someone who failed out of U of T, switched to York for the same program and got a 3.8.

No, you are not delusional.

When you guys transferred out did your transcript show your course and grades from UofT? Or do you only see the courses you took at York? What about the courses that York will recognize?

if you transfer to a school, credits will show on the new York Transcript as a TC - no gpa - ... you will only be given transfer credits for courses that match up + you have met the grade cutoff for, so a D- doesnt just turn into a TC automatically lol

Thanked. I see so I guess in a sense, those who transfer school can have like a fresh start if their full transcript of all schools attended isn't asked for by their grad school program.

Graduate and professional schools always ask for complete transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended.

if you have a few TCs, they wont care.

If you have 25% + TCs, they will ask to see transcripts to look at grades of those courses, i presume.

Also, I assume those who do transfer out of UofT do get higher marks. My marks were higher at Waterloo. I don't think it's necessarily because the school is harder though...it's (in my case at least) because the school is a commuter school and it's so far away so I'm more likely to skip classes etc. On top of that the professors suck. I don't know. I regret transferring to UofT!
Thanked.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Why did you transfer out of Waterloo and what program did you take? Was the quality of the program any different or did you start a new program at U of T? I have always heard of students transferring out of U of T and rarely the other way around.

Lol the fact you can't spell delusional may have something to do with your grades
