I think U of T looks down upon repeated courses, especially if it's in English when you're applying to a social science/humanities program. Your average should be high enough though because the satellite campuses should be slightly easier to gain entrance into compared to St. George. Applied to (Fall 2011):
Queen's University - Arts [Admitted] [ACCEPTED OFFER]
University of British Columbia (Vancouver) - Arts [Admitted]
University of British Columbia (Okanagan) - Arts [Admitted]
University of Western Ontario - Social Science (2 programs)
[Admitted]
University of Western Ontario - Media, Information, & Technoculture [Admitted]
Simon Fraser University - Arts (Criminology) [Admitted]
University of Toronto, Victoria College - Social Sciences [Refused] [Alternate Offer - Scarborough]
University of Waterloo - Honours Arts [Admitted]
McMaster University - Social Sciences [Admitted]
McMaster University - Humanities [Admitted]
Attending (Fall 2012):

That kills me. Even though we've worked so hard to maintain a decent/high average, above they're expected/requested average admissions, we still get penalize for English. Applied To:

In considering students for admission and scholarships, the University reserves the right to give preference to students whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course." But I repeated English (76 the first time, 93 the second time) and I was accepted to Victoria College in March with an overall average of ~84, so who knows?

I got in today with a 90 average (didn't retake any courses):
English 4U - 89
Calculus - 91
Biology 4U - 96
Chemistry - 88
SAP (Psych, Sociology, Anthro) - 89
Data - 87
However, it says Trinity college application is still pending although I got accepted to St. Mike's.
If I am forced into St. Mike's I'll probably just go to Queens. What residence did everyone get accepted to? Is it possible to get accepted to multiple residences?

LOL, I got 72 in ENG4U and look where I am now? You never know really, but my high school's english was pretty hard. The average was a low 50s, the highest mark was an 80 and only 6 people in class were in the 70s range. I also took a standardized english test (IELTS) when I applied to UofT and I aced it, maybe that was the reason why I got the admission? Anyway, wish you best of luck! UofT University College.
