Evaluation of Applications

 

Admission to the University of Toronto's Bachelor of Education/Initial Teacher Education program is based on an examination of the academic background of the applicants as well as an examination of the applicant's teaching-related experience and other non-academic credentials. This year many more well-qualified people applied than we were able to accept (over 6,000 applications and an enrollment target of 1,044 students). As a result, the admissions process to OISE/UT was very competitive. The following considerations were used in assessing applications for the Bachelor of Education program for 2000/2001.

Review Process

Great care has been taken in our application evaluation process to ensure that we have applied our criteria consistently and correctly. As a result of the large number of applications we received this year (over 6,000 applications and an enrollment target of 1,044 students) we have many more well-qualified applicants than we are able to accept. Nevertheless, we offer a review process to allow applicants to bring to our attention information in their application which they believe we may have overlooked when we made our original evaluation. The review process is not an opportunity to introduce new information or to request an exemption from our normal selection criteria.

In deciding whether or not to request a review, you should be aware that it is not necessary to request a review in order to be considered for second round admission (should a second round be necessary). You should similarly be aware that a successful review does not necessarily lead to admission on a second round. Note also that, based on our experience, not many changes to our evaluation are made as a result of the review process. If you are interested in getting feedback about your application, you should take advantage of our counselling service described below, rather than request a review.

Review Forms may be obtained from OISE/UT Registrar's Office, Initial Teacher Education Admissions Unit via this website (see below) or by e-mail at or by calling (416) 926-4701.

You are advised to read carefully the information regarding our evaluation of applications in the information sheet which accompanied your letter (and is repeated in the first section of this web-page) and outlined in our Application Handbook before submitting a request for a review.

The deadline for submission of forms requesting a review of the Applicant Profile and academic information is Friday April 28, 2000. The Admissions Committee will be considering all requests for review during the month of May, and we plan to have responses to applicants at the end of June, 2000.

 

Downloading the Review Form:

During the month of April you can download a pdf file which contains two versions of our Review Form (one for requesting a review of your Applicant Profile's assessment and another for requesting a review of any other aspect of your application's documentation). These documents should be printed out on your own printer and then completed and submitted in the same manner as our conventional paper-based Review Forms.

CLICK HERE to download the pdf file.

After the April 28, 2000, the Review Form will no longer be available to be downloaded.

You will need need Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 in order to view and print the forms on your laser printer. You can obtain the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader free from the Adobe website. (Click on Adobe to go there.)

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling is intended to assist you in preparing for a future application; it is not part of the review process and will have no influence on admission selection for the 2000/2001 session of our Bachelor of Education program.

Beginning Monday May 1, 2000 please call (416) 926-4701 if you wish to book an appointment with an admissions counsellor concerning a future application. If you have requested a review of your application, you should wait until after you have received our letter advising you of the outcome of the review before making an appointment with a counsellor. (The application files of persons requesting a review may not be available to counselling staff until after the review process has been completed.)
