Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the general admissions process on our FAQ webpage.
What is different about an Indigenous Student Application Program application?
Members of the Indigenous community, including an Elder or Wisdom/Knowledge Keeper, Indigenous physical therapists, faculty members and students will take part in the admissions review process. Applicants must meet the same admissions requirements (sub-GPA and course prerequisites) as applicants through the general application stream. Students can choose to apply through the Indigenous Student Application Program by self-identifying on the ORPAS application and must submit an additional personal statement and proof of ancestry. Upon receiving an offer of admission offer, you will be offered support from the Office of Indigenous Health available to you throughout your time at the University of Toronto.
Am I guaranteed to proceed to the Computer Administered Profile stage as an Indigenous Student Application Program candidate if I satisfy all admissions requirements?
No, we will invite qualified candidates to the Computer Administered Profile stage based on a review of all application requirements. Meeting the minimum admissions requirements does not guarantee that you will receive an invitation to the Computer Administered Profile or an offer of admission.
Do Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) students have to apply through the Indigenous Student Application Program?
No, it is not mandatory. Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) students can apply through the other streams.
Why would I choose to apply under the Indigenous Student Application Program?
To minimize unconscious or conscious bias, reviewers of the Indigenous Student Application Program applications will include members of the Indigenous community who are affiliated with and/or have extensive knowledge of health care and/or post-secondary education.
Who should I contact if I have questions about my ISAP application?
Indigenous Student Application Program applicants are invited to liaise with the Office of Indigenous Health at indigenoushealth.support@utoronto.ca.
