The lowest GPA that the University of Toronto will accept in Canada is 3.6 (92). However, this is just the minimum requirement. For competitive programs, a GPA of 3.8 (96%) or higher is recommended.
In addition to GPA, the University of Toronto also considers other factors when making admission decisions, such as:
- English language proficiency
- High school grades
- Standardized test scores (e.g., SAT, ACT)
- Extracurricular activities
- Letters of recommendation
- Personal statement
Students with a GPA below 3.6 may still be considered for admission, but they will need to have a strong application in other areas. For example, a student with a GPA of 3.4 but with a perfect SAT score and a compelling personal statement may be more likely to be admitted than a student with a GPA of 3.6 but with no extracurricular activities or letters of recommendation.
If you are concerned about your GPA, you should contact the University of Toronto admissions office directly to discuss your specific situation. They can help you to understand your chances of admission and to develop a strong application.
