University Placement

Collectively, our 81 members of the Class of 2019 received more than 390 admission offers to top universities across Canada, the U.S. and the world and 83% percent graduated as Ontario Scholars.

In yet another example of the balance that we strive for here at CDS, members of our Class of 2019 are pursuing a broad range of academic and professional disciplines this year. The Life and Physical Sciences, including Engineering degrees lead the way having been selected by 36% of our grads, with the, Humanities and Social Sciences following close behind with 32%. Business programs account for 22% of the selected areas of study with Professional programs (direct entry Law and Nursing) at 6%. The Visual and Performing Arts round out the categories at 4%, including one student who will be attending the Boston Conservatory at the Berklee College of Music.

At the beginning of each school year, the Office of Admission and University Placement takes Graduating Year (GY) students to the Ontario and Quebec universities for campus visits.

The eastern tour stops at Queen’s, McGill, Concordia, Ottawa and Carleton University, while the westbound trip toured Western, Laurier, Waterloo, Guelph and McMaster. This annual excursion is a great kickoff to a hectic year of research, applications and decisions for our Grade 12 students. Both trips expose students to campuses old and new, big and small, urban and suburban. Our students sit in lecture halls, eat in school cafeterias and generally soak in the environment of the universities and towns we visit. An added feature of the trip is the opportunity to connect with our alumni currently studying at these destination universities.
