HEY GUYS! I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I want to emphasize that this is my personal view on UofT and not everyone will agree with some of the things I said in this video. Anyways thank you for watching this video😁👍
"UofT is so expensive"
*cries in American*
its not 100k. I think he said that cuz he's an international student so he pays 50K, not 100. My guess is a) he didn't know the exact number so he guessed or b) he wanted to over exaggerate
Well for International students, it's indeed possible to go that high for 4 years degree(depending on Ur degree, adding up Ur living expenses, Ur accomodation, textbooks...), and without scholarship and financial aid, I wouldn't even been able to afford going overseas :(
Yo this actually helped me so much... I feel like he says things that I wouldn’t be able to find off of the internet. Let’s go Richard!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am so glad I was able to help a little👍👍!!!
Choosing what college to go to was a super hard decision for me. I boiled it down to either, Ivey, UofT or Schulich and ultimately chose Schulich but soon realized UofT had greater brand value.
The reason I chose Schulich was because it had the following:
a) Prestige - Been ranked top 5 for years now in Canada.
b) Easier course load - Which has allowed me run my business successfully while gaining internships.
Ultimately I realized the following:
Prestige is a HUGE deal, going to a great school has way too many advantages. ALSO being able to build something , such as a business does boost your application.
For example, if Goldman Sachs office in Canada was looking at a student from UofT with a 3.6 GPA but runs a successful small M&A boutique firm while in college + had 1 strong internship VS a UPenn student with a 3.8 GPA who had 2 strong internships & joined 2 investment clubs of the school. The company would choose the UofT student.
Thus my philopophy was to go to a decent school and get decent enought grades (B+ being my aim) but have GREAT work experience as the main driver!
I would love to hear your thoughts on Schulich vs UofT because I'm considering transferring in my 2nd yr & your POV on the above paragraph!
Have an awesome day!
Wow thank you so much for your very detailed suggestion! Its great to hear from a business school student from a different school. It will be great to have someone on my channel that has a different business school background. I will try to make Schulich vs Rotman video in the future (it will be very interesting). Thank you so much for your great suggestion and if you have any further suggestions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Started watching this because of a friend's recommendation, great video! Very helpful
Thank you so much for your kind words👍👍! I am very glad my videos were able to help
Bro just got into Rotman (Innis College). It's probably my first choice so I'll hopefully see you next year!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! WELCOME TO UOFT!!
@@RichardHan Thanks! Also, do scholarship offers come with the decision or later? If at all.
I am actually not too sure when the scholarship offer will come will come (due to COVID-19) so I would suggest that you contact the university about this. I am very sorry for the late response its because CZcams hasn't been sending me notifications and I have to check every comment manually. If you have any further questions please let me know!
Did u get into Ivey, Queens or Schulich? What made u choose Rotman over those?
My UofT tuition is just less than $10,000 per year. Probably because I don't have residence and I don't buy the textbooks lol
If you dont buy the texbooks, could you please tell me how you get the books? So you borrow them or take them from seniors or download them instead? Would be a great help if you reply, thanks.
how?
@@HISANY83 libgen
@@HISANY83 there are usually some sites to get some cheap textbooks and also you can rent them for cheap
yea its def not 100k
Hey Richard! I recently was offered acceptance into UofT and was curious if you could make a video for how to survive your first year at UofT?
That's actually a really good idea! I am probably going to make that video soon. Congratulations on your acceptance and thank you for your great idea!
Thank you so much!
Got hooked to your vids after CZcams recommended that UofT video 😂😂
😂😂😂😂I am very glad that you are enjoying my videos !
An interesting thing I'm considering as I'm leaning towards coming to UofT next year is that for my program, overall costs don't seem to be that much higher than the other places I was looking at -- I'm deciding between UofT, uOttawa, and UVic for completing my music education degree. Yearly tuition and housing prices seem to be pretty similar: ~7k for tuition and fees, 11-14k for housing + mealplan. Considering McGill is in similar stature (slightly above for Music) to UofT and their tuition is something like 11k for non-quebec students, UofT is not that bad price-wise. I don't know how different it is for STEM fields, but the places I'm looking at are generally on a level playing field for costs I think it makes the choice for Toronto a lot easier considering the better opportunities it has to offer.
Nice video! Keep doing what u doing Becouse it is good and interesting!Hope u have a great quarantine!
Thank you for your kind words, I am very glad that you found my video interesting! I hope you have a great quarantine as well!
As someone told me when I was at UofT...UofT can't study for you, take your exams and make you ace that job interview. And not everyone is 'made' the same....So basically, if you're the type of person that WILL DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to get good grades, be it only sleep a few hours a day, cut out social life, fight through headaches and empty stomach...yeah, you'll do good at UofT...but if you don't want to 'harm' yourself...set realistic expectations if you attend UofT, like, I'll get a degree in 4 or 5 or 6 years but don't ask me what my C.G.P.A. is. That type of student.
Thanks for sharing. I found the video really informative. I am from the US and considering applying to UofT. I am a little hesitant because it seems very rigorous and a difficult place to make friends. If I want to apply to medical schools afterwards, would it be beneficial to have gone to UofT, or would it be detrimental as it is difficult to get a high gpa at this school? Is studying an all-consuming part of student life? Do you think there is much of a culture or do people mainly focus on their academics?
Great question, as I mentioned in my video it all really depends on what you are looking for. There are advantages and disadvantages of going to UofT if you are thinking of going into Med school afterwards, so I would suggest you to really think about what you want from your undergrad. With that being said there is definitely a culture at UofT, we don't study all the time. For more information about this watch my other video "Is it hard to make friends at University of Toronto?". I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
I’m waiting for UofT to reply my application for my masters degree. And it’s killing me.
Hey.. once again an amazing video! Thanks a lot , I was interested about u of t but u made me more interested in it !!! Thanks and pls make more videos coz I really enjoy them!plus thanks for the quick replies for the questions we ask ! It was really helpful
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to me. I am very glad my videos were able to help and I will continue to make more videos in the future👍👍Thank you again and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Love these videos!
Thank you so much, I am glad that you like them👍👍
Hey! Thanks for the video. They are super helpful. Could you make one on course selection for first years? Like what to take and what not to take? Thanks!
That's a great idea, although I have made a video called "Courses you shouldn't/should take" that might help you out. I will make a video that specifically talks about first year course selection in the future. Thank you so much for your idea and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Heyy Richard! I found ur videos super helpful!! Thank you for doing this. I am just wondering if you can make a video about Rotman commerce since you are in that program! Also could you talk about the co op and internship at uot and how can we apply for it! Thank you very much !
Edward wang there is no co op at Rotman
First of all thank you for your kind words, I am glad you found my videos helpful. I am currently planning on making a video just on Rotman commerce so stay tuned! I will be talking about everything you need to know about Rotman so I hope you like it when it comes out. If you have any further questions please let me know and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Hi Richard! I have two questions that I'm curious about.
1. How much do you spend, including tuitions, in a typical year in U of T?
2. Is there internship opportunities in U of T, and what are the requirements for getting the opportunities?
Thank You!!!
Worth it to go there and see Richard han
Thank you so much for this video
My pleasure👍👍
hey so I want to go to the University of Toronto, but I'm not too sure which campus to choose. So I intend to major in business or something like that, but for admissions, I was accepted into UTSG for Humanities and UTM for Management. What do you think I should do? (Great videos btw, they're very informative)
Great question, so if you want to study business, management at UTM is probably a better than Humanities (UTSG Humanities is great as well). If you ever want to study business at St. George there is a great business program called Rotman Commerce (that's the program I am in). I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Great content Richard. Although I have a query. What would be a good GMAT score for Rotman school? A rough range would work.
Thanks. 👍
Thank you for your question, so since I am a bachelors level business school student (Rotman Commerce), my knowledge in masters level business school (Rotman school of management) admission is very weak. So I would suggest you to contact the university directly. Sorry that I couldn't answer your question but I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Thanks Richard!
Hey, do you mind making a video on Rotman Commerce specifically (how hard is it, what jobs you can get afterwards)?
That's a great idea, although I made a video called "interviewing the smartest guy at the University of Toronto" that may answer some of the question you have. However I will definitely make a video just on Rotman Commerce as soon as I can (Other students have been suggesting me to make a video just on Rotman as well). If you have any further suggestions please let me know and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Hey Richard, Ive been watch your vids and just had a few questions. If i dont take any Ap classes but take all academic classes, and get a A and above in everything will i be able to get into uft? Im in grade 8 btw
I got into Rotman (Innis College) and I agree with you, the tuition is bonkers for international students! Richard do you think that UofT provides a great Co-op for business school? Based on what I read, people say that Waterloo has better Co-op options and the tuition is definitely lower there by 8-9k
the website says its 6k for domestic students and 50k for international, so idk where u got 100k from.
ur videos are high quality
Thank you so much!
Hey bro! How can we show proof of our community service while applying as an international student for pearson scholarship
Great question, however since I am not an international student its hard for me to answer questions regarding scholarships for international students. I suggest that you contact the university directly about this question. Sorry that I couldn't answer your questions but if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
@@RichardHan but didn't you have to show the proof of community service while applying
@@vishalsingh9739 I remember putting down my supervisor's contact information for my volunteer experience but I don't know if it will be the same for the international students. I didn't want to risk giving you any wrong information, so that's why I suggested you to contact the university directly. I hope that was answered your question!
@@RichardHan thanks brother
@@vishalsingh9739 my pleasure!
Hey Richard, first of all great content. I wanted to know if I am able to score an average of 95% and in maths (80) and english(90+), will I get accepted or not?
Great question, first of all I would like to suggest you to watch my other video "How I got into University of Toronto & UBC". I talked about everything you need to prepare in order to get accepted to top tier universities. When you watch that video you will realize that grades aren't the only thing that matters so I highly recommend watching that video. Your grades are great but there are more things you will need to prepare so If you have any further questions after watching that video feel free to comment them. I hope I was able to help a little and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Thank you for answering. After that video, there is still one doubt. Actually I’m a little worried about Maths, will they accept me if I get 80 in maths because I thought 85 was the minimum.
@@nikitatugnait4083 What I meant to say is that it will be safer if your grade is over 85%, but your grade is fine as it is right now. Your other grades are great so don't worry too much about your math grade and focus on having a good portfolio. I hope I was able to help a little and if you have any more questions please let me know!
Heyy!! Just wanted to tell that I got into both Sauder BCom and Rotman commerce!! Now I’m in a dilemma, which one to choose:|
Uoft tuition for domestic is cheap.... 5-7K is pretty standard lol
100k 😱?! All my dreams, shattered on the floor 🎻🌊
😭😭😭
its not 100k, its 7k per year.
@@shastri304 it is for international students
@@joudy5767 Does not articulate that *at all* in the video, just seems like it aims to discourage people from attending.
@@joudy5767 no, its 50k for international. I literally don't know where he got 100k from bc that is false.
Since U of T is so expensive I’m thinking of taking a gap year to work and save up money and also work while I go to U of T. Is it realistic to have a part time job while attending U of T AND maintain good grades?
That's a great question, so I want to answer this question by telling you that everything is possible but it might get really challenging. I know some friends who have decent? jobs and managing school at the same time but they barely have any time for extracurricular activities and social life. So it might be a good idea to take a year off to earn money so that you can focus on your studies when you come to uoft. However I don't want to discourage you at all from trying that if that's what you wish to do. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
if ur domestic, its 6k, but international is 50k. Ik he said its 100k, but according to the website, that is not at all true
Would it be worth it for an international student? Courses like engineering add up to 85k a year
Yes, UofT can be very expensive especially for international students (tuition is 85K, think about all the other expenses as well). As I talked about in my video there are definitely pros and cons about UofT , so I would suggest that you think about what you really want from UofT and if its really worth your money. I decided that it was going to worth my money and that's why I choose to come to UofT. Think about all the options and think carefully. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
so, did u opt for uoft? 2021 first year tuition fee for computer science is 59,300. U of A it is 30,000 (almost half). U of A is no. 5 in Canada.
So I got accepted to UofT and I have just received a mail inviting me for the Vic one program, there's not much information on their website so I thought you could help me. What I mostly wanted to know is that will it increase my burden of workload with my rotman commerce classes or will it not be affected at all and if there's a separate fee for it ?
Great question, so since I am not part of the one program my knowledge in this program is very weak. I don't want to give you any false information so I am very hesitant to answer this question. So unfortunately I would suggest that you contact the university about this. I am sorry I couldn't answer your questions but if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Hey Richard, does UofT offer co-op programs for students, or do they focus mainly on academics?
Great question, so based on what I know uoft mainly focuses on academics more than co-op programs. I am sure this differs by programs within uoft but generally speaking uoft mainly focuses on academics. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Thank you so much. You were very helpful
What are some ways we can take advantage of uoft’s networking?
There are so many uoft graduates around the world and there is a great chance that there is going to be people who studied at uoft in the industry you want to work in. So having this big pool of graduates can be one of the big advantages of uoft's networking.
Hey Richard! I recently got admitted to Rotman commerce. I wanted to ask if it is convenient for first year students to do a part time job.
Also is there any free study material online for first year courses?
First of all congratulations on your acceptance and that's a great question. So, I personally didn't work part time job because I wanted to focus more on school and extracurricular activities. When you come to UofT you will realize that you won't have that much free time, so it will be impressive if you can balance everything while you are working a part time job. I don't want to discourage you from working a part time job so definitely try it out, but It might be a little hard. For your second question, I think CZcams is the greatest platform for studying. I tried to find more free online study material and CZcams is the best one yet. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
I'm an international student at the UofT starting this September, and the tuition for us is above 60k a year. Residence is another good 20k. It's crazy.
UofT can be expensive!💰
I have a question regarding the fees so do you think that after graduating it's most likely that you will get a high pay job which will be a good source of income and help to play your loan back if you take student loan
Great question, and I think so because I didn't hear any stories of uoft alumni having trouble to pay off their loans after graduating. If you take a look at my other video "INTERVIEWING THE SMARTEST GUY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO | HARVARD LAW SCHOOL, 4.0 GPA, CIBC" ( czcams.com/video/0242vyQwh44/video.html ) my friend Jack agrees that being a uoft graduate does tend to give recruiters a good impression. So I think generally students don't have trouble paying off their loans after graduating. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
@@RichardHan Thank you so much I hope I will make into uoft Engineering science next year.
Oh wow good luck!! and if you have any questions on that please let me know👍!!
Hi vats i am an international student from india and will apply to uoft this year but i am lil bit confused about the process so can i get your help i would be much obliged if you could tell me your insta id mine is vishalaulakh_
Hey Richard,thanks for all the videos.I wondered what is an average weekly workload for a CS student?Also can u interview some CS students from India and ask them about the admission process,cost etc.Thanks for everything
Great question, so since I am not a CS student my answer to this question may not be as strong. However knowing many CS students I think they spend about the same time studying at home as they spend in classes. So if they had 4 hours of classes they would spend about 4 hours studying at home as well. Also I would love to do more interviews in the future and I will definitely get some of my CS friends to help me out. Thank you for your suggestion and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
@@RichardHan thanks a lot ,Richard.No further questions ,just would like to know the average daily life of cs student,internships,side projects and if its someone from india ,their profile and story of admssion process,cost.
It’s definitely more expensive for international students, but I am not too sure how much it will cost exactly. If you contact the university directly about this they should be able to tell you. Sorry that I couldn’t answer your question but if you have any further questions please let me know !
@@RichardHan np Richard.Thanks for the heads up,hopefully one day ill get into Uoft and we'll get to meet :)
@@shashank630 if you are indian applying for uoft this October i want your help if you don't mind as i
Will also apply this year . Mine insta id is vishalaulakh_ of you could give me yours
I got accepted to rotman commerce!
Is there any tips to be prepared for the first year??
Congratulations!! And yes I am currently planning on making a video just on first year tips/Rotman so stay tuned👍
@@RichardHan Please that would be great!
Hey Richard! How important is getting a good GPA, other than for getting into grad school?
Having good GPA is good for lots of reasons. Obviously recruiters will like students with high GPA, so you will have a greater chance of getting a better job. Secondly, having a good GPA is a great accomplishment as well. So if you have a high GPA you can also put your GPA in your resume.
@@RichardHan Would you say that it's more important to have a good GPA than building your skills at UofT? Will recruiters consider that you went to UofT when looking at your GPA? Or is there no point in building your skills if your GPA is not the very best (because there will be some competition for getting a job)?
This is a really personal answer but I would say it’s the skills because the recruiters will be able to see through more than just you marks during an in-person interview!
Hey Richard. Do you have any insights about the engineering faculty of UofT. Is it really worth 57k per annum or not?
Same question
R u from India?
wait is 100k+ for international or domestic?
Cause I used the university's calculator and it said round 40K for me (resident domestic) are there other expenses not talked about? honestly if someone could answer me it would be much appreciated. The total cost is gonna be a huge factor in my decision making.
That’s a great question, so if you are not planning on living on residence or getting an apartment, it becomes a lot more affordable for domestic students. The 100K comes from 7~8K tuition per year (some programs are higher) 14~16K residence fee per year , text books, transportation, and other utility fees over the course of 4 years comes roughly around 100K for domestic students. It’s a lot more expensive for international students. However if you are already living with your parents you won’t have to pay your residence fee, so it will be a lot less. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
@@RichardHan thanks a lot! Yeah it makes sense btw just found ur vid today and checked a few of ur other vids hope ur chanel grows quick cause you've got some really good content. Keep it up😊
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to me👍👍 I am very glad that you enjoyed my videos and I will try my best to keep making great videos in the future!
Hi buddy , it's Dev again, why don't you have an interview of a student who got into uot after completing his diploma and ask him how much credit he got for his diploma , and was he form business program
That's a great idea, thank you for your amazing idea and I will try to make that video in the future👍👍 If you have any further suggestions please let me know and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Hey, does anybody have any reviews for the Master of Information program? Please let me know
Does it really matter which university you go to? Like if you go to any other university and have a good gpa rather than going to u of t??
Great question, so it really depends on what you are looking to learn/get out of university. There are definitely pros and cons of attending UofT, and my short answer to your question is no it doesn't matter which university you go to as long as you know what you want from that university. Really think about what you want to learn, because different universities will teach you different things. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Richard Han how does the presentation usually happens at university??
I am not too sure what you mean by presentations, could you enlighten me a little? Plus if you can comment your additional questions as a separate comment I will probably be able to answer you a little sooner (this is because CZcams doesn’t send me notifications for replies within comments). Thank you!
100K per year for a local!?!
I meant 100K for your entire time at UofT for domestic, but far more for international! Sorry for the confusion!
Wait do domestic students pay an average of 100k at the end of their senior year?
Surprisingly yes, when you add up all your tuition, residence fees, meal plan, text books, transportation fees and other utility fees will come out to be about 100K for domestic students and a lot more for international students😭
@@RichardHan Then that's pretty much all schools, base tuition is 7k factor in books, 10k total, costs of living vary, just don't live on residence/food plan etc
Hi Richard, Are you currently still living at New College? If not, was there any refund?
Great question, so I had to move back to my parents house because UofT closed due to COVID-19. New College provided everyone a refund for the residence and meal plan, which was very convenient. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Good to hear. Take care
I choose UBC cuz it’s closer to me plus I study in Engineering so networking doesn’t matter that much for me
When will you make a video on the difference between the St George and the Mississauga campus??
I will try to make that video as soon as quarantine ends and find someone from Mississauga campus to help me out with my videos! Thank you for your patience!
Richard Han thank you so much. Will wait for it. The video will be a great help.
do they consider my 10th grades marks?
Great question again, so they mainly focus on grade 11 and 12 marks but for me my high school sent out my entire high school transcript. Which means uoft saw all my grades from grade 9 -12. For further information on this I recommend contacting the university directly. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
im a canadian citizen living in the US and im pretty sure its not 100k, I read it was like 15k
Woah! Is the fees 100k per year??!!
Unfortunately tuition is very expensive especially for international students😭
But when I checked the website, it came up to about 78k a year...
It depends on your program (some programs are cheaper than others) 👍👍 Also think about all the other costs you will have to pay other than tuition
I like that clap lol
