Does U of T (St. George) care how you rank it on OUAC?
Typically, we do not consider ranking on the OUAC application.
For the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, applicant choice may be a factor as part of a broad-based admission approach. Should you rank us at a lower OUAC choice, your application could be disadvantaged.
