A Cogdel School Chengdu graduate has been accepted to the University of Toronto — Canada's top-ranked university and one of the world's leading research institutions, consistently ranked in the global top 20.

About the University of Toronto

Located in Canada's largest and most diverse city, U of T is renowned for its research output (second only to Harvard among North American public universities), its diverse student community representing over 160 countries, and its strong industry connections. The Cogdel student will join programs on the historic St. George campus in downtown Toronto.

The Canadian Pathway

Canada is an increasingly popular destination for Chinese international students, valued for high-quality education, a welcoming immigration framework, and strong post-graduation employment prospects. Beyond the University of Toronto, Cogdel students have also received offers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) — another globally top-ranked Canadian institution.

Canadian universities' holistic admissions approach — which values extracurricular engagement, leadership experience, and personal character alongside academic results — aligns well with Cogdel's 8-Dimension Competency Framework. Our students' rich portfolios of growth across multiple dimensions give them a natural advantage in Canadian applications.

Congratulations to our student on this outstanding achievement!
