Universities in Ontario with less competitive admissions?

Calling all Canadians! I'm in my penultimate year of high school and will be applying to universities next year. I'd ideally like to stay in Ontario for university. Are there any universities that are considered 'easier' to get into or have less competitive admissions here?

Sure, there are indeed several universities in Ontario that are considered to have less competitive admissions. While it varies by program, some institutions often referred to in this context include Lakehead University, Nipissing University, Algoma University, and Trent University.

Lakehead University, for instance, presents strong programs in fields such as Natural Resources Management and Outdoor Recreation, with a smaller, community-focused campus that many students appreciate.

Nipissing University is known for its excellent Education and Nursing programs and its commitment to student access and success.

Algoma University, while small, is renowned for having a personal, student-focused teaching environment, especially in programs like Computer Science and Business.

Trent University, on the other hand, is reputed for its environmental science and studies, as well as indigenous studies, and many students appreciate its vibrant campus life.

Remember that while these institutions may be less competitive in terms of admissions, it doesn't mean they offer a lesser education. It's all about finding the right fit, and where you can thrive and make the most of your college years. It doesn't hurt to apply to a mix of reach, match, and safety schools to ensure you have a variety of options.
