Minimum admission requirements:

Completion of an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, with six Grade 12 U/M subjects including English 4U and Calculus & Vectors 4U. (NOTE: It is expected that all students will have completed Advanced Functions as a co-requisite or prerequisite for Calculus & Vectors. However, in calculating your average for admission, the Faculty of Arts & Science will use the top four highest marks after ENG4U and MCV4U. Please note, Rotman Commerce does not accept repeated courses.
An average in the mid- to high-80s on your six Grade 12 courses (including ENG4U and MCV4U).
Completion of the Rotman Commerce Personal Statement (i.e., the supplemental application).

Doesn't say anywhere you need a minimum English mark (unlike some other schools).
You'll be fine.

Ouch,that English mark is going to hurt you.
I've heard about Rotman preferring to accept people with 85%+in Eng/Cal but you never know.On eInfo it says particular attention is paid to English and Calculus.Also,your average is 87.5% which is near the cut-off.So I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get in but maybe you still have a chance. Good luck.
I just want to go to Schulich
But I can't believe I didn't apply for Ivey AEO...

In the end:
Schulich BBA 2016

i think you have a good chance :)
i dont know how u of t recruits but i know few people who got in with 87 average.
i think your english mark is on the low end but u of t never said it has to be above a certain mark. but people i know who got in had 80 and above in english... so yeah.

don't worry too much, hope you get in.
