Question 3

How do I apply for the MIB program?

Accepted Answer

From the UTSC Management calendar: “Most students will be accepted into the program directly from secondary school. Transfer students, and current UTSC students may also apply for admission, but generally, only those students who are in the early stages of their academic careers will be considered. Admission is based on the applicant’s academic performance as well as a supplementary application, and an interview process. Interviews are held in February, March and April for students who pass the initial screening. Successful students will demonstrate strength in academics, extra-curricular and volunteer activities, as well as an interest in, and focus on, developing global competencies.”
