University Placement

Choosing the right fit for a post-secondary experience can be an overwhelming task. Brentwood is renowned for its exceptional record of quality placements. Our expertise allows us to provide premium service and support to our students in all stages of their planning for university studies. Whether they look to options in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, or elsewhere, students have all the resources they will ever need—all in one place, through our University Counselling Office.

Our Process

The university counselling process becomes formalized at the end of Grade 10—when guidance begins on course selection for the Grade 11 year. In grades 11 and 12, individual Advisors work in tandem with our University Counselling Team to ensure that each student understands the many options available to them. Parents are involved throughout this process and are encouraged to participate in the development of the list of potential post-secondary choices.

There are also opportunities to travel and visit university campuses during the school year—typically over the fall midterm break in early November. In 2023, for example, Director of University Counselling Rick Rodrigues will take a student group to Central and Eastern Canada on a multi-stop tour of leading schools.

University Acceptances 2023

The members of the Graduating Class of 2023 continued the tradition of recording impressive and varied admissions results for Brentwood applicants. These most recent graduates will attend 60 different institutions in 14 different countries, including seven Canadian provinces, and seven US states.

Nearly three-quarters will remain in Canada to pursue their studies, one in six will head to the United States, and nearly 12% will venture to distant shores around the globe.

Nearly 40% of them will pursue studies in the STEM fields; 26% in the arts, humanities, and social sciences; 15% will pursue studies in business; nearly one in ten are entering studies in various health professions; and the remaining will be pursuing studies in the fine arts, law, social work, the performing arts, and the trades.

This past year, 70% of the graduating class received an offer of admission from their first-choice university.

Close to 650 offers of admission were received from over 170 institutions, and 54% of the Members of the Graduating Class received a scholarship offer from at least one of the universities to which they applied.
