An interesting view into Ontario university programs still accepting students
I’ve written before that OUAC deadlines aren’t really deadlines. By that, I mean that if programs still have open spots, they will consider students over the summer. By missing the written deadlines, you do forfeit certain advantages in the university admission process, such as being guaranteed to hear back from all the schools to which you’ve applied before you need to make your final acceptance decisions.
But, admissions isn’t an exact science with students applying to several more institutions than they could possibly attend, and therefore with universities offering conditional acceptance to far more students than they can actually admit, the summer is when all the gaps get filled.
Here’s a direct link to the search page that this year’s high school seniors are using to see which Ontario universities still have open spots, and in specifically which programs. The search allows you to narrow down or view all openings. Simply choose an institution (or not, to see all), a program (or not, to see all) and enter a “Top Six” average and you can view the list of all programs with open spots that meet your criteria.
Of course, one hopes that you won’t have to use this tool when it’s your year to apply, but it’s good to know that it’s there, just in case!
