What Average Do You Need for Rotman Commerce?
Short answer: the mid to high 80s is the stated minimum, and the class sits higher. Rotman Commerce says "an overall average of all grade 11 and 12 courses in the mid-high 80s or above is recommended", OUInfo lists the program in the mid to high 80s, and in Fall 2022, 83.6% of UofT's business entrants from Ontario high schools came in at 90 or above.
Rotman says: an overall average in the mid-high 80s or above, plus the supplemental application[1][2]
The Numbers
| Average | Share of the entering class |
|---|---|
| 95+ | 37.8% |
| 90-94 | 45.8% |
| 85-89 | 15% |
| 80-84 | 1.3% |
Required Grade 12 Courses
- ENG4U: English
- MCV4U: Calculus & Vectors (free unit tests: Limits, Derivatives, Curve Sketching, Optimization, Derivatives of Trig, Exp and Log, Geometric Vectors, Cartesian Vectors, Lines and Planes)
Only two named courses, and Rotman says "special attention will be given to MCV4U, as it is a prerequisite for admission." MHF4U isn't on the list, but MCV4U requires it before or alongside, so it is in your top 6 whether Rotman names it or not.
The supplemental application
Every applicant completes Rotman's own supplemental application on top of OUAC: brief written and video responses, considered alongside your academic record. Rotman recommends submitting it by December 1 so you are considered in the earlier rounds.
Rotman's own framing of who gets in: "our students are generally in the top 5% of their class." The supplemental application is where you show what that looks like outside a transcript.
What these numbers mean for you
Mid-high 80s is a minimum Rotman recommends, not an average of who got in. The CUDO table is UofT's commerce group: 37.8% at 95+, 45.8% at 90 to 94, 15.0% at 85 to 89 and 1.3% at 80 to 84. The entering average was 93.0.
So an 87 meets the stated bar and sits with the 16% at the bottom of the class, where the supplemental application carries more of the decision. CUDO reports by group, so this is UofT's commerce entrants, not Rotman on its own.
