Applying to University...

[roseofblack25]

Does anyone know when to start applying for Universities? I know it should be soon. Do different schools have different application requirements like essays or references etc?
Do different schools have different dates that applications are due? I never really paid attention to this last year when my friends were doing it cause I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do and now that I do I feel lost, out of the loop maybe even a little
My head is spinning thinking about all this stuff...

Hey Rose,

I'll ask my husband tonight (he's a highschool teacher) but I think the deadline is Nov. 30th.

What schools are you looking at? I can help you if you need any help. I'm actually looking into different Universities right now for teachers college.

I think you should hit your guidance office. There seems to be alot to know about this whole process. My son got a package of info home from his school.

[roseofblack25]

ya they dont do all that good stuff at our school they just do a check to make sure you have enough credits to apply and thats it

I been through the same process two years ago. I am currently in university. Let me answer some of your questions.

When applying to any university, you have to do it through OUAC. But each program may require you to do more than just applying in OUAC such as essays, application forms, and references. Take your time to gather references and write those things because it's important but time consuming.

I am going to apply to Queen's (to make my parents happy) and Brock (where I plan on going if I am accepted)

When you apply for OUAC, you should get 3 choices without additional cost to your OUAC fee.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. May I ask what program you want to get into?

I am trying to get into a Theatre program...I went to guidance and they said something about tutorials that they will walk us through in December...isn't that a little late?
