If You Can Use A Fork, You May Want to Consider Other Schools in Addition to York
It shouldn’t really be news to anyone (except for maybe Maple High School’s guidance head Joanne Brown), but the Star is reporting a 10.8% drop in overall student applications to York, and a 15% drop in the number of students who ranked York as their first choice for schools they wanted to apply to. Which is sorta funny, because U of T—which saw an increase both in number of applications and number of those applicants ranking the school their first choice—is the school that’s trying to cut their undergrad numbers. The most impressive rise in first-choice applicants, though: OCAD. Applications to the school are up 5.5%, and the number of first-choice applicants is up 20.8%. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
