Engineering Undergraduate Students Applying What type of applicant are you? Course requirements All Ontario students must complete six 4U, or 4M courses to be eligible for admission. Other requirements All applicants to engineering programs will be asked to submit a personal profile, called the Admission Information Form AIF. Support Waterloo Engineering.
Students wishing to undertake their preparatory work at the University of Guelph should seek admission to the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture programs. Applications will also be considered from persons who have successfully completed a graduate program and from persons currently enrolled in a graduate program. For those persons currently enrolled, all the requirements of the program must be successfully completed by August 1st of the year of entry to the D.
Persons who qualify must indicate their desire to be considered in the graduate student cohort. Their application will then be removed from the undergraduate applicant pool and considered separately. Selection for interviews will be made on the basis of academic achievement including grades in acceptable prerequisite subjects undergraduate and graduate courses , evaluation of the Background Information Form, two letters of reference from persons assessing the applicant's skills and knowledge of veterinary medicine and two letters of reference for persons familiar with the applicant's performance as a graduate student.
Final selection will be based on this information and an interview. Normally a maximum of five students will be selected from this cohort each year. Because of limitations in class size, all candidates should have an alternative career objective and course selection should be compatible with this objective. Canadian citizens or individuals who have Permanent Resident Status of at least one year's duration are eligible to apply as domestic students if they also satisfy the Ontario residency requirement.
Since the number of applicants who satisfy the specific course requirements exceeds the number of available spaces in the D. Program, the Admissions Sub-Committee may use the following criteria to determine those who will be admitted. The members of the Sub-Committee endeavour to select those well-qualified applicants who, in their judgement, will be best able to successfully complete the veterinary medicine curriculum and who exhibit potential to become competent, responsible veterinarians dedicated to a lifetime of productive public service and continued learning.
Candidates should pay attention to the selection criteria and attributes required for entry into the D. Program and use this information to guide them in preparation for application. In view of the need to efficiently and quickly learn large amounts of factual material and to solve problems, applicants must have demonstrated achievement in the comprehension of scientific material. This will be evaluated by the scrutiny of transcripts of previous academic records. Attention will be paid to both the quality and consistency of grades in the program presented as preparation for admission, particularly for those applicants who have spent more than the minimal time in preparation.
Course selections in an applicant's last two full-time semesters will be reviewed for academic coherence. For the purpose of D. It is expected that the level of an applicant's courses will correspond to the semester level year of his or her program. As part of the application process, candidates must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the profession, its dimensions and the industries it serves to permit the candidate to make and defend his or her career choice.
This requires the candidate to spend adequate time under the supervision of veterinarians in clinical practice situations volunteer or paid in order to gain hands-on experience with a range of animal species. Practice situations include, but are not limited to, large, small, mixed, avian and exotic animal clinics; thus introducing the applicant to food producing, companion, zoo and wildlife animals, or aquaculture.
Other work or volunteer experience with veterinarians can include non-practice situations such as industry e. There is an expectation that candidates will be able to demonstrate for each animal or veterinary experience the role of the veterinarian, production and breeding systems, general features of housing and feeding, productivity measures and norms, marketing systems, animal behaviour relevant to restraint, feeding and reproduction, and emerging trends and issues in the industry.
Successful candidates should have integrity, reliability, maturity and determination. It is important that professionals have excellent communication and leadership skills, and that they have a talent for effectively working with others. To assist in identification of candidates who possess these and other attributes, applicants must complete a Background Information Form, in which they will describe their academic program, work experience and extra-curricular activities.
In addition, applicants will be asked to write a short essay about why they wish to study veterinary medicine. Confidential referee reports will be required from three persons qualified to give unbiased, informed, critical assessments of the applicant. A minimum of two of the three references that applicants select must be veterinarians with whom he or she has obtained animal and veterinary experience in the fulfillment of the selection criteria outlined in Section 2.
Applicants may be invited to an interview. Graduate cohort applicants will be interviewed individually in the traditional format. At each station candidates are presented with a scenario to which they must react and explain their interpretation of the scenario to assessors who then mark the candidate based on a scoring rubric.
The non-academic skills assessed by the MMI reflect the educational goals and objectives of OVC as well as the skills identified by the veterinary profession in Ontario as being necessary for a successful career.
All interviews are held at the University of Guelph no exceptions can be made. Applicants should be aware that a number of attributes are required for admission to the Program. In addition to those already identified above under Selection Criteria e.

Read: Read anything you can get your hands on, and read critically. Read not only to understand the content of the text, but also how the writing style itself conveys meaning. Make every text an opportunity to discuss how an author gets his meaning across to the reader. Write: Writing may not feel like a natural activity, but strong writing skills are essential to success in most university programs. Encourage any kind of writing such as journals, letters to the editor or mom and dad!
At all times, stress clarity of thought and expression. Remember that writing is an attempt to communicate and successful writing is writing that gets its point across well!
Many families choose to include accredited Ontario high school courses into their high school home school program. These are courses that are taught in a classroom, online or by correspondence by an accredited Ontario school or school board including courses from the ILC Independent Learning Centre.
Although it is possible to get into university without any high school courses, some universities do offer academic merit scholarships on the basis of 12U grades alone. Some universities have stated that they prefer students to submit 12U marks for university admission because it simplifies the process of comparing home schoolers to the traditional pool of applicants.
In many cases, simply taking six 12U courses is acceptable. Your Top Six average is calculated based on a combination of required and elective courses and your individual admission average varies from school to school, and even from program to program! Typically, an arts program will have only 1 or 2 specific requirements, and the remaining courses can be any 12U courses, as long as there are six in total.
All the required 12U courses for your program will be automatically included in the Top Six. So, when it comes to required courses, you have no choice but to use those marks. As for electives, they will give you the benefit of the doubt and use the highest grades available to fill out your Top Six. Of course, if you only take six credits, all six will be used. It is only in the event that you take more than six credits that you have the pick of your highest elective marks.
Not all of your courses have to be 12U courses. Most universities will allow you to apply with some number of 12M courses in your top six. But, many schools or programs limit the number of 12M courses that can be used. As you can see, the courses included in your Top Six will vary from program to program. Remember the above tips are for maximizing your Top Six average and consequently your chances for university admission , not for maximizing your overall educational experience!
Above all, make reasonable and responsible choices, consider your short-term and long-term goals and play to your interests and strengths when making your course selections. All students submit one online application that will be forwarded to each specific Ontario university you select. Students enrolled in a full-time day high school will apply using form These services were developed to facilitate the process of applying to the Ontario universities. They reduce duplication in application processing, and save time and resources for applicants and the universities.
These may be programs at 3 separate universities, or 3 different degree programs at the same university, or any combination thereof. The only overall restriction on your application is that you may apply to no more than three programs at any one university. Individual universities may have their own specific restrictions, which will be outlined on the OUAC website.
It has also become common practice for individual universities to impose additional application fees over and above the OUAC fee. Most students begin their online applications in October or November of their senior Gr. There is no general deadline for the submission of the OUAC application; individual university deadlines vary from institution to institution and sometimes depend on the program the applicant is seeking to enter.
Usually deadlines will fall in the January — April range. Unless otherwise specified, the deadline date listed in the individual university information sections indicates the date by which the application must arrive at the OUAC. You should receive correspondence from your chosen universities in the spring.
Admission decisions are generally available anywhere between March and June, although students who have been wait listed may not know for sure until after students have accepted offers in June and the university starts moving down the waiting list.
As part of your OUAC application, you will have the opportunity to request information on residence, student loans and other financial aid available to you. This information will come with correspondence from the university if you have requested it. Then, the universities will know whether there are spaces available to offer to students who have been put on a waiting list. You may still attempt to gain admission to an Ontario university after June, although preference will have been given to those who accepted offers of admission and those who had been placed on waiting lists.
There is a service available to students in June through the OUAC that lists which Ontario university programs, if any, still have space remaining. Universities are less concerned about the fact that a deadline has passed and more concerned with filling all available spaces, so it is still possible to be accepted by a university right up until the start of the school year. This website will list every university in Ontario that still has space available, with detailed lists of programs that are open.
These forms used to be filled out by hand and reviewed by a high school guidance counselor, who could point out silly mistakes on the application.
