The numbers on the University of Toronto, UofT acceptance rate and entry scores, no varnish:
- Acceptance rate: around 43 percent overall, but that blends everything. Computer Science, Engineering, and Rotman Commerce admit far below it. The acceptance rate for international students tracks the overall number, unlike the US where it often lags.
- University of Toronto out of country tuition, per year: Arts and Science around 61,000 CAD, Engineering around 68,000 CAD, Rotman Commerce around 64,000 CAD. Budget 85,000 CAD a year all-in with Toronto living costs.
- Entry scores that actually get in: the University of Toronto average SAT is not the entry metric; U of T uses high school averages. Mid-90s for CS and Engineering at St. George, high 80s for most other programs. Indian CBSE students should target 90 percent plus for the competitive streams.
- English floor: IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0. No exceptions worth betting on.
Two things the guides bury. First, U of T CS admits you to a general stream, then you compete for the CS major after first year on university grades, so the entry average is only round one. Second, the degree says University of Toronto whether you study at St. George, Mississauga, or Scarborough, and the University of Toronto Mississauga acceptance rate runs slightly easier than St. George. Same degree, saner cutoff. Sources: Common Data Set, College Navigator U of T is not one of the universities abroad with high acceptance rates, and that is fine if you go in with eyes open. Check your numbers against the cutoffs above, then run your profile through a college admission chance calculator. Fastest way to calculate chances of admission, and your real chances of acceptance stop being a guess.
The University of Toronto acceptance rate sits around 43 percent overall, far lower for CS and Engineering.
