What you write for University of Toronto

No essay for Arts & Science. Program supplements for Engineering (Online Student Profile), Rotman Commerce and Computer Science.

  1. Engineering — Online Student Profile

    Required for every Engineering applicant. The Online Student Profile has short written responses (a few sentences each) on why you want to study engineering at U of T and what you have done that shows it, plus timed video responses recorded in the portal (you see the question, get a short think time, then record — no retakes). Prepare: why engineering, why this discipline, a project or activity you drove, how you handle setbacks. Confirm the current wording and limit on discover.engineering.utoronto.ca before you write — universities revise these each cycle.

    Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering
  2. Rotman Commerce — Supplemental Application≈250

    Required for Rotman Commerce. One written response (why Rotman Commerce and what you would bring, roughly 250 words) plus timed video responses recorded in the portal. Show a specific reason you want the Rotman Commerce program at U of T, not business in general. Confirm the current wording and limit on rotmancommerce.utoronto.ca before you write — universities revise these each cycle.

    Rotman Commerce
  3. Computer Science — Supplemental Application

    Required for Computer Science at the St. George campus. Short written answers about your interest in computer science, what you have built or studied on your own, and how you approach problems. Keep each answer concrete: one project, one problem, one thing you learned. Confirm the current wording and limit on web.cs.toronto.edu before you write — universities revise these each cycle.

    Computer Science (St. George)

Arts & Science, Life Sciences, Social Sciences and most other programs at U of T have no written component — admission is on grades. Delete the program supplements above that do not apply to you. Architecture (Daniels), Music and Kinesiology have their own profiles/auditions.
