U of T’s entrance bar can seem low relative to US universities of similar quality. You can’t get in with “bad” grades. Canadian students have to be in at least the top 30-40% of their school. However … U of T will weed out those students who don’t study and who party all the time. The average for a course is around a 2.3 to 2.7 GPA. Students who have a cumulative GPA less than 1.5 will be put on academic probation. If they get on probation and then don’t get at least a 1.7 the next year, they get suspended for a year. If it happens again, they’re suspended for 3 years - a third time and they’re kicked out. Your friends might party all day, but they won’t graduate unless they perform decently in school.
