Updated Info: In the video, I mentioned that some CS courses are only opened to CS Major/ Specialist. However, I want to clarify that: Non-CS Major/ Specialist student are only open to 1.5 credits in the 300/400 Level CS courses.

Apologized for the confusion!
Hi! So for CS backup programs, I would recommend Applied Statistics or GIS (Geographical Information Systems).
Since STATS is a type 2 program, you will need certain marks to get into the program + take MAT223 in the first year. (has requirements but is not as competitive as CS)
Here's the link: utm.calendar.utoronto.ca/section/Statistics,-Applied
GIS is a type 3 program(no requirements), so as long as you apply for the program, you can declare GIS as your major. (so GIS will be a guaranteed program)
Hope this helps!
Really helpful. You gave clear answers to my questions.
Very helpful and informative video thanks
Thanks for this vid, informative. The course coordinator says that the readings are sufficient and the textbook is optional. What are your thoughts?
I am coming to Toronto university
I’m trying to get into utm this year and the website says low to mid 80’s for overall averages but what would you say the competitive average is ?
Also your video made me feel a lot more comfy about applying so thanks for that !
I am not 100 percent sure about the answer to this question. However, overall, I would say for utm compsci, the competitive averages will be 90 or above (especially in math + science courses). Thanks for watching!
There you go have a new subscriber. This video was very informative. By any chance are you planning on being a ta
Hi, thank you for the video! It was helpful. I was wondering if you can link the youtube channel from your TA of the math proofs? I'd like to have some insight of the course that way, thank you! :)
This is the link for the MAT102 videos: th-cam.com/video/DjV2CfTTE0o/w-d-xo.html

Hey Angela can u share your course timetables for your 2 semesters? Thanks
Hi! I didn't save my timetable for last year. However, the course time for the 2023-24 years already came out ( ttb.utoronto.ca/), feel free to look at the time and build a timetable.
@Ann Lin great thanks! If u happen to remeber any courses you took during each semester please let me know!
I need to talk to you please regarding CS
Guys I got into CS , Maths and Stats at Uft Mississauga as international student. Does that mean I can’t choose CS as my major in first year? How do I know its post cut off or not? Is this really that difficult that people dont meet min marks to choose CS as major?
Do people drop off?
Hi! So for first year CS students, you guys are not in the actual CS program yet. You guys are in the CS stream. The post cut off is different every year based on the grades and amount of applicants. I know this year(2023-24), the cut off is 80 in both CSC148 and MAT102 (usually around 25 percent of applicants make the cut off). Regarding the difficulty of getting in CS post, I think is very individual based. If you have coding experience and math proof experience, it will be easier for you. Again, everything really depends on how hard you work towards on your goal! As long as you keep working hard and staying consistent, you will be fine! Also remember, there’s always the summer round CS course and 2nd year!
Hey, can you please share your mark in math 102 and CS? I am comming to UTM next year and want to make sure I make post. Also could you please share how many hours u studied per day usually? Thanks for taking time to respond
Hi! I got 80+ on both MAT102 and CSC148. On average, I study 4-5 hours per day. At long as you are consistent with study and doing a bunch of practice problems, you will be ok!
Hey! Was just wondering what your average was when you got admitted UTM?
I got rejected for ustg but accepted into utm for cs with a 97 avg (I re did 1
Course)
@@garouftw5022 oh thanks lol
are there limited seats in CS post
Hi! There isn't really a specification of how many
"limited seats" there are in CS POST. As long as you meet the CS POST requirements (marks in MAT102 + CSC148 and minimum CGPA), you are guaranteed a spot in the program.
@@annlin8144 thank you so much for the video and replying to my question, I recently got accepted into utm and I am scared AF, this video helped a lot
@@annlin8144 Does that mean only 25% of students meet the requirements ? and also why do we need to take account of the 2nd year students if we are guaranteed ?
@@kbgaming10 Hi! The percentage of students that make it into the CS program really depends on the POST requirements (it's different each year), but 25 percent is a pretty good approximation.
There are going to be 2nd-year students who took all of the required courses but didn't meet the requirements in their first year, so they will retake the courses again 2nd year, trying to get a better grade. Since they already took these courses, they might have more advantages in the class , which makes the CS POST more competitive.
Hope that helps!
@@annlin8144 Oh alright so does it mean we have to get a higher grade than all the others ? Thanks a lot for eveyrthing, I appreciate the help and the video !
