What Average Do You Need for UofT Physical and Mathematical Sciences?
Short answer: the mid to high 80s. UofT lists the Physical and Mathematical Sciences admission category at St. George (OUAC code TPG) on OUInfo with a grade range in the mid to high 80s, and names two courses: ENG4U and MCV4U. CUDO reports no entering-average group for this category, so the range is the only published number.
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)
UofT names English and Calculus and Vectors for the category, inside six 4U/M courses. MCV4U takes MHF4U as a prerequisite or co-requisite in Ontario, so Advanced Functions comes with it. OUInfo adds that many programs in the category also require or recommend one or more of SBI4U, SCH4U and SPH4U, so take the one that matches the program you mean to choose.
A category, not a program
Physical and Mathematical Sciences is one of the Faculty of Arts & Science's admission categories at St. George. You apply to the category with six 4U/M courses including ENG4U and MCV4U, then choose your programs of study after first year: Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy and the rest sit under it. UofT's program page for Mathematics lists the St. George entry under code TPG with the same two courses, where Scarborough's Mathematics entry (TXS) adds MHF4U outright.
That is why the requirement list is short: the category admits for a whole division's worth of programs, and the ones that need a science add it as a program prerequisite, not an admission one.
Why there's no table
CUDO reports entering averages by program group, and this category spans two of UofT's: mathematics and statistics, and physical science. Neither is the category, and we don't attribute either to it, so this page shows the range and nothing else.
What our data doesn't have is a published average for admitted students or a cut-off above the range. If someone quotes you one, ask where it came from.
What these numbers mean for you
An 86 is inside the range UofT filed the category in, and an 89 is near the top of it. With no distribution to show, treat the mid to high 80s as the band UofT makes offers in, not a guarantee, and compare it with UofT Engineering and Computer Science on this site, which sit a tier higher.
If the plan is Physics or Chemistry, the 4U science is the course to protect; if it is Mathematics or Statistics, MCV4U is, since it is the one UofT names.

UofT Physical and Mathematical Sciences FAQ
What average do you need for UofT Physical and Mathematical Sciences?+
UofT lists the Physical and Mathematical Sciences category at St. George on OUInfo with a grade range in the mid to high 80s. CUDO publishes no entering-average group for the category, so there is no distribution to show.
What courses do you need for UofT Physical and Mathematical Sciences?+
ENG4U and MCV4U, inside six 4U/M courses. Many programs in the category also require or recommend one or more of SBI4U, SCH4U and SPH4U.
Do you need MHF4U for UofT Physical and Mathematical Sciences?+
UofT names MCV4U, not MHF4U, for the St. George category. MCV4U takes MHF4U as a prerequisite or co-requisite in Ontario, so you take it anyway; Scarborough's Mathematics entry lists it outright.
Is an 85 enough for UofT Physical and Mathematical Sciences?+
An 85 is at the bottom of the mid to high 80s range UofT lists. There is no published distribution for the category, so plan on the top of the range rather than the bottom.
