    I end up re-upload the video! Here's the response to one of the previous comments (asking if backup programs are guaranteed or not): Ann Lin 20 hours ago (edited) Hi! So for CS backup programs, I would recommend Applied Statistics or GIS (Geographical Information Systems). Since STATS is a type 2 program, you will need certain marks to get into the program + take MAT223 in the first year. (has requirements but is not as competitive as CS) Here's the link: utm.calendar.utoronto.ca/section/Statistics,-Applied GIS is a type 3 program(no requirements), so as long as you apply for the program, you can declare GIS as your major. (so GIS will be a guaranteed program) Hope this helps!

    I am not 100 percent sure about the answer to this question. However, overall, I would say for utm compsci, the competitive averages will be 90 or above (especially in math + science courses). Thanks for watching!

    I need to talk to you please regarding CS Guys I got into CS , Maths and Stats at Uft Mississauga as international student. Does that mean I can’t choose CS as my major in first year? How do I know its post cut off or not? Is this really that difficult that people dont meet min marks to choose CS as major? Do people drop off?

    Hi! So for first year CS students, you guys are not in the actual CS program yet. You guys are in the CS stream. The post cut off is different every year based on the grades and amount of applicants. I know this year(2023-24), the cut off is 80 in both CSC148 and MAT102 (usually around 25 percent of applicants make the cut off). Regarding the difficulty of getting in CS post, I think is very individual based. If you have coding experience and math proof experience, it will be easier for you. Again, everything really depends on how hard you work towards on your goal! As long as you keep working hard and staying consistent, you will be fine! Also remember, there’s always the summer round CS course and 2nd year!

    Hi! There isn't really a specification of how many "limited seats" there are in CS POST. As long as you meet the CS POST requirements (marks in MAT102 + CSC148 and minimum CGPA), you are guaranteed a spot in the program.

    @@kbgaming10 Hi! The percentage of students that make it into the CS program really depends on the POST requirements (it's different each year), but 25 percent is a pretty good approximation. There are going to be 2nd-year students who took all of the required courses but didn't meet the requirements in their first year, so they will retake the courses again 2nd year, trying to get a better grade. Since they already took these courses, they might have more advantages in the class , which makes the CS POST more competitive. Hope that helps!
