Here's a tip for succeeding at UofT... Start your research one week earlier than you initially planned. Two weeks if you want that 90%-100%.
this pandemic actually forces all the high school students (like me) to be more independent so that’s a plus lol
just wanted to let you know that this was extremely helpful, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. It gives me (and I bet a lot lf others) so much optimism!!
You're killing it👍🏼
This was really helpful! Thank you
Loved this!
Just got in utsc neuroscience, I’m excited but also nervous. Thanks for your advices!
Hello! I'm a recent high school graduate, and I've accepted my offer to study Social Sciences at U of T! Excited but nervous to go there in the fall (hopefully), so watching this video is great to start getting into the university-life mindset. Thanks for making it :)
hey! I´d love to know how you´re doing in u of t , i just got accepted to study Social Sciences
@@sarahigilescandela3272 me too!
great video !!
yO sick edits! Man, after you hit 100 you're gonna soar past me
no u 😂
your editing is so good now
Great video tyty! I wish I had discovered this before my first sem lol.
Thank you for this 🎉
Brandon pls keep uploading videos regularly about how we can get into uft and host interview how they got into uft national and international and tell point more to focus on so that we can make sure to get admitted pls
Good luck in your second year! As a soon-to-be third year pharmtox student, my friends and I all have our GPA dropped for the two consecutive semesters this year... Also one tip: If you can join the SLC of your program, join it! I really had trouble making friends in my first year but after I joined the SLC of our program I made TONS of friends! (And feel better when I know that we were all struggling together... LOL)
Ayeee I’m in second year neuro and psyc major at uofT.
thanks a lot!
I always thought the lab notebook was an urban legend.
Facts man
Hello, I am in grade 10, and I want to pursue a career in neuroscience (specifically, I want to be a neurosurgeon) I can't help but notice how you mentioned that you are taking neuroscience. I want to get into uoft. Can you please say how you got accepted? Like your average in grade 11 and 12 and other things you did to get accepted. And also how is the neuroscience program at uoft? How hard/ complicated is it? Thank you for making this video, it was really helpful ☺️
What did you take your first year? Do you have any prof recommendations or any to stay away from ? Also where do you download textbook pdfs?
The 60-65 median is program-specific btw
btw are vic one programs worth it or is it too much pressure for first year? And if they ARE worth it, my application got accepted for Schawlow which I ranked second in preference while Stowe-gullen was my first preference because I will be studying Life Science. Should I still accept the offer?
Hi, this video was very helpful! I was just wondering for Neuroscience, did you have interviews/supplementary applications?
Yayy that's great to hear :) There were no supplementary applications (or interviews) for my admission into neuroscience at uoft
I’m from the uk am applying to do neuroscience at uoft - I’d love any advice :))
Hey I'm exactly like this
Very informative,thanks a lot
I have got admitted to U of T for the neuroscience program also have got offer from University of Alberta.Could you please tell me how different they are in terms of getting grades, teaching etc.Thanks in advance.Also have got offer from McMasters.
What do you think more easier live in the school dorm or find another place ??
realizing what jiyeon must have gone through... wahhhh good luck health related programs students!
LOL haha thanks :)
Almost everyone tells me not to apply to u of t , that’s it’s horrible, you’ll fail a lot of semesters and your 4 year degree would take sometimes 6 years to complete.. yet no matter what I just love u of t and can’t stop loving it❤️🥰
Why waste 6 years while u can complete your degree in 4 years somewhere else?!
@@michaelko2280 haha! True ! Then which uni would you suggest ?
@@michellesilva7366 I don't know. But it shouldn't take you 6 years to complete smth that you could obviously do in 4 years. UofT's POSt requirements is what ruins most student's life while making a ton of $.
@@michellesilva7366 Literally, any student will spend their first year stressing over that POSt requirement!!! 😪
damn my high school teacher makes us do formal lab reports I feel the pain
@@girishsujethan8964 it's not the case in my country :)
Hi! I'm an international student and in my country, we don't have any extracurricular activities that the school actually offers so I'm thinking of taking the initiative myself. If someone is an international student and got into UofT or any other medical school, please give some advice because it is a disadvantage not being from the U.S or CA. Also, I'm in ninth grade, and I want to do this with anticipation because of this disadvantage. Thanks for this video btw!!!
Hey Anna! Feel free to email me at brandonoliveryu@gmail.com for more personalized advice :)
I am asking as I know for some universities such as McMaster, having simply the credits and required GPA is not enough, as there are very little spots in the program, so it is important to have a very competitive GPA in order to be granted admission into the program
Hi, thank you so much for your reply. I’ve applied to the psych program in the science discipline at u of t. On the website, it mentions limited enrolment and lists the minimum GPA and required courses. Does meeting just those requirements guarantee admission into the program? Did it for you?
Also since they use bell curves to deflate grades then how are people able to achieve high grades? How does that work?
Hi! thank you so much, your video was rly informative! Btw, are your studies in Neuroscience at the Scarborough campus?
so happy to help :) yes, im at the Scarborough campus
@@brandonnnyu Would I be able to message you on discord or instagram to talk more about your experience there(as well as things like housing, transport, etc.)?
@@pumpkin629 for sure! happy to answer your questions via email as that's what I check the most: brandonoliveryu@gmail.com. feel free to ask me anything :)
Since UofT push the mark low, won’t that influence students for their graduate program application? Eg the top unis in America, isn’t that unfair for students at UofT because they are getting a significantly low mark? I cannot understand the system and plz help, thank you.
I wish i watched your video before hand.
I hope i can get into ..uoft...i did 6 aps ranging from 4s to 5s..and 3 sat 2s above 700..and sat above 1500...
Uoft is my dream it is challenging, but i believe this challenge make you a better person in your job
Are you going for life sci? I had less AP’s than that and my SAT was a 1490, and now I’m a fourth year in Neuro, Cell & Mol Bio, and Physiology at UofT.
@@laurenlei808 im might apply for biomedical engineering or software engineering
@@laurenlei808 but still not sure if they are good enough cause my extracurriculars are extremely bad and im depending on the scores
axiommand js I never applied to engineering so I don’t how the application differs, but the application for life science does not consider extracurriculars.
@@laurenlei808oh ok
...well thank u alot for taking the time to answer me :)
Thanks so much, very informative. You you actually give real feedback on your experiences. None of that 10 min of saying what’s basically on the future.utoronto.ca site lol
What’s the party scene like at UofT
Hi can anyone help me regarding application. I don’t want to apply through OUAC website is there any possibilities that I can apply directly to U of T website. I don’t live in Canada. I will be applying as an international student for undergraduate.
Wow🙃
Hi, thanks for the video. I'd like to ask you if you know something about the graduate ambience/life. I hope in the future I can study a PhD at UofT.
Thanks and good luck :)
sure, drop me an email about that!
@@brandonnnyu omg i really want to know info about that too
@@nidademirkran6 haha sure thing, feel free to shoot me an email at brandonoliveryu@gmail.com
@@brandonnnyu thank you so much
Hi there! What exactly is life science at uoft? Is it a specific course or is it a variety of courses that you take?
Ha, i'm a bit late to respond to this question for you, as i'm sure you've found the answer already...but for anyone else asking, Life Sciences is a general term for core Science based courses (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, etc) that someone interested in pursuing Med School would take.
brother u don’t bash on other programs like that tho 😂
How bad is utsc? I think I am going there this year
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Alright, the man covered all the points! But controversial opinion, maybe reduce the snapping 😬😬😬
Hi, I am a student admitted to UTM this fall. U have mentioned that we can pay 60-70 dollars for an application to get 5% marks, is this possible at UTM as well? And can u tell me more about this? Thanks
In order to access part of your grades, you would have to purchase an access code to access the platform where the questions are located, and where you can earn those marks. This is universal and throughout many institutions now unfortunately. If you have more questions, feel free to email me :)
@@brandonnnyu there is a $65 per course cap on homework tools per university policy. Also they can't force you to buy the eBook with the homework tool, they are required to offer the homework tool only as an option per the same policy. If a prof breaches this policy, complain to your academic advisor (and if that doesn't work to your Dean, and if that doesn't work to VP-Students.)
@Brandon Yu I had a question. For U of T neuroscience, on their website it states it is limited enrolment and highlights the credits needed to get in as well as the average to be enrolled. However, does having the credits and listed average, guarantee admission, or is there limited spots within the program?
Save me pleaseeeeee. I am at a loss as to which of the seven colleges I should pick for life sciences. Lol, thxs for anyone's help in advance :)
if you're not gonna stay in residency, it doesn't really matter. look into the structure and what the college is focused on cuz for first-year u can get priority for their first-year foundation courses, if u choose to take them.
can i ask where these group chats are typically held? i dont have instagram, should i download it just to stay in contact with other uni students? would this be a smart move?
first
Hey! I just subscribed, I’m also doing a similar video but McGill University edition. I relate to your content, let’s support each other?
Jeez whatta sweetie and scholar
Can you please post again, your viewers are hungry
can u post again first
What do you mean pay for marks!!!??

Common sense excludes degrees.
I was wondering if u of t has a good party life lol 😅
Can I enter UofT though I only have 3.8 GPA?
Cez Laylo yeah bro. Generally, u of t has a 47% acceptance rate which is pretty high. If you’re talking bout life sciences then it’s still easy. The minimum require is 86. Ppl enter u of t with 70s too
Yeah aye bro thanks a lot :))
Btw, would you mind if I hit you on IG sometime? Still got more questions for my preparation on UofT haha :))
Tell me more easy than U of T university
I'm in grade 11 and want to study chemical engineering at UofT, but I'm not from Canada nor an English speaking country, and I don't understand the university's system very well. Do I need to apply to any other programs or can I just apply to chemical engineering??
@@brandonnnyu If you don't mind, I have another question.
When applying, does the university see our grades in the system of the country we're from? Or do they have one of their own?
Lol… past u of t lifesci feeling very dumb after 2 3 and 4 year😞lol
HAHA i feeeeel that
I’m from India,been planning to come to Canada for masters program in neuroscience so If you could give me a lil insight and guidance it would be a great help, thanks
This is complete baloney. At U of T if you put a lot of effort into a course there is absolutely NO guarantee you will get a good grade--in fact quite the opposite. Effort is by NO means proportional to the grade you end up with there
Tell me more easy than U of T university
That's a hard question because it really depends on the person and your experience 😬
@@brandonnnyu my expriance is not good
