Offers of admission

Though most of our offers will be made between February and April, all of our offers will be made by May 25, 2010, and you'll have until May 28, 2010 to respond.

  • In the Faculty of Mathematics, we consider applicants individually. We need time to read and score your Admission Information Form (AIF), to tabulate your admission average using your marks in the required Grade 12 courses, then to tabulate your admission score (a combination of your average plus your AIF score), and, in some cases, to consult your Euclid Mathematics Contest (written on April 7, 2010) results. As a result, we make few early offers of admission.
  • For more information about offers of admission, alternate offers of admission, and deferring your offer of admission, visit UWs Offers of admission website.
