UTS welcomes all eligible students to apply. Our applicants bring their unique abilities and talents and a shared love of learning. We recognize that our applicants showcase these abilities in different ways. The UTS application process has evolved and will continue to evolve to best capture the individuality of our applicants.
While UTS was originally a boys school, an equal number of boys and girls were admitted starting in 1973. Since then, UTS has maintained a gender balanced incoming class of students. Recognizing the fluidity of gender, the office of admissions will work with families of non-binary and gender non-conforming students to ensure an equitable and inclusive application process.
UTS proudly maintains a merit-based application process, and we encourage a diverse pool of applicants through outreach and through the support of the UTS community. UTS Admissions does not seek to fill diversity quotas, instead we encourage applicants from equity-deserving groups to self-identify in the application process.
If there are individual circumstances that you would like the admissions committee to be aware of while considering your child’s application, please include this information in the Individual Circumstances Letter. This may include information about a child’s attendance record, non-participation in paid or unpaid co-curricular activities, duties and responsibilities the child takes on outside of school, family circumstances that have impacted the child’s education and opportunities, or any other information you would like to share.
All application requirements and components are shared on the UTS Admissions website. These items, and only these items, will be considered in the application process.
UTS Application Portal open in September 2024 and closes December 1, 2024. If you have any questions about the application components, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to assist you.

The Stage 2 UTS Interviews consist of a series of short, structured interview stations used to assess non-academic qualities including cultural sensitivity, maturity, teamwork, empathy, reliability and communication skills.
Inspired by McMaster University’s Medical program, applicants rotate through five to six interview stations, responding to questions or scenarios. The process takes about an hour and the questions are designed to assess candidates’ ability to express themselves authentically and clearly while being able to share their own uniqueness and candidacy for UTS.
The Group Task places five to six applicants together to work on a task. Applicants are not evaluated on the success of their task, but how they collaborate with each other.
UTS does not endorse nor participate with any outside companies in the business of preparing students for the UTS application process. UTS does not release test or interview materials, past or present, anywhere except for the UTS website, available to all. The entrance tests are intended to assess the applicant’s readiness for and potential to thrive in the UTS program. While the test should assess the knowledge and skills accumulated over years of schooling, we acknowledge the role that preparation plays in helping applicants to write with confidence on test day.
