Subject Line: The Art of Not Being Ignored
First things first, the subject line. This is your chance to stand out from the overflowing inbox like a majestic Canadian goose in a flock of pigeons (because, let's be honest, pigeons are kind of boring).
Pro Tip: Avoid generic subject lines like "Question about Application." Spice it up! Here are some examples:
- "Future U of T Star with a Burning Question (It's About My Application)"
- "[Your Name] - Eager Beaver for [Program Name]"
- "Admissions Inquiry: Because My Future is Totally Rad" (Maybe use this one sparingly...)
Remember: Keep it professional-ish, but a touch of personality goes a long way.
Body of the Email: Where Clarity Meets Charm
Now, for the main event! Here's how to craft an email that's both informative and delightful:
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Start with a proper greeting: "Dear Admissions Committee" is a safe bet.
Introduce Yourself: Briefly mention your name, the program you're interested in (if applicable), and maybe even a quick, attention-grabbing sentence about yourself.
State Your Business: Clearly explain your question or request. Be specific! The more focused you are, the faster they can get you an answer.
Keep it Concise: Nobody wants to read a novel in their inbox. Get your point across efficiently.
Proofread like a Superhero: Typos and grammatical errors scream "stressed and unprepared." Take a deep breath and double-check your work before hitting send.
Show Some Enthusiasm: Let your excitement about U of T shine through! This shows genuine interest and makes you a more memorable applicant.
Bonus Tip: If you have a specific question about a program or requirement, mentioning a relevant detail you found on the U of T website shows you've done your research.
Closing with Confidence
Sign off with a classic: "Sincerely," or "Best regards," work well.
Include your contact information: Make it easy for them to reply.
Consider a P.S.: A short, witty P.S. can leave a lasting impression (but avoid anything too cheesy).
Remember: You've got this! With a clear, concise, and (dare we say) charming email, you'll be well on your way to conquering the U of T admissions office.

Give them a few business days to reply. If it's been a while and you're getting anxious, a polite follow-up email is okay.
How can I find out more about a specific program?
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
The U of T website is your best friend! Most program information can be found there. If you have a question that isn't answered online, then an email to admissions might be necessary.

Zero. We love emojis, but admissions emails are a professional setting. Best to keep it emoji-free.
