Toronto MathFin UofT MMF Students

Well, the more I read this thread, the more I realize I might not make it! My Achilles' heel is definitely my GPA, which is sub 3.5, and they seem to focus a lot on it!

PS: I add my application to the tracker.

Yeah i have to agree with you. Not to sound mean, but realistically <3.5 is pretty low, especially considering the competition, anyway best of luck.

with regards to housing:
Also note that unless there is an early winter weather is not that bad in October/ November and classes end by Christmas. There is an internship during 2nd term and some may be outside of downtown ( say otpp) so choose your housing close to public transit for that matter.

If you're on campus you'll still be pretty close to mass transit, and we still have class over winter (advanced derivatives).

the class does start in the mid-of august, so be careful when signing leases.

In a totally unscientific poll, I find that when i ask new immigrants to canada what they remember the most about their first year here; their answer is always "the winter".
Anyways welcome to canada!

I'm going to buy the Snow Mantra. They say it's the warmest coat on earth. Sounds good.
