BEYOND YORK - OCTOBER 19, 2023
UPCOMING University
Visits
Here is a list of the upcoming University visits:
Grade 12 Students: The Ontario University Application Centre is open, and some students have begun submitting applications. Please know, however, there is plenty of time to get applications in before the December exams. Students are reminded to book appointments with their counsellor to continue conversations about university choices and programs. Students are encouraged to meet with their counsellor to initiate the application process for any school in Canada to ensure all parts of the application are filed correctly. Supplemental responses for Canadian applications will be found in the student’s university account once an application has been submitted. UBC is the only Canadian university that asks for a personal profile (short answers) to be completed with the submission of their application. The University Counselling Office will remind students of supplemental due dates, but students are ultimately responsible for meeting deadlines. All students are encouraged to share drafts of personal statements, Common Application essays and supplemental responses for feedback.
Canadian universities are posting dates for Open Houses. Please check this live document and plan to visit an open house or book a campus tour. Open houses allow you to learn about specific programs, talk to current students and perhaps even have a meal on campus. Campus tours are running regularly at most universities.
