Find a Program You’ll Love

By: Erin Marchand & Andrew Smith, University of Waterloo

There’s a program for everyone out there! The Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) offers eINFO, a searchable database of all program offered by Ontario universities. This is a great starting point to see which universities offer your program of interest.

Then you can visit university websites to learn more about courses and career opportunities or if your program offers the benefits of co-op.
It’s also a good idea to visit campuses to talk to admissions specialists about your program. Get a feel for each campus and see if you would like to study there.

All applications are done through the OUAC, using the appropriate admission requirements.

Once you’ve applied, it’s helpful to make your application stand out by participating in any university-run contests (such as Waterloo’s Euclid Math Contest and Chem 13 News Contest) and by completing an Admission Information Form (AIF). With the AIF, you have the opportunity to tell us about yourself, what you’ve been involved in, explain any low grades, and even brag a little!
