6. Mandatory Questions
With these questions, we would like to learn about your critical thinking, and your potential role within a diverse learning community. Since each question is limited to 200 words, successful answers will be specific and concise.
Please respond to each question separately, include the word count in each heading, and make it clear which questions you are responding to.
MQ1: A Challenge in the Field
Critically consider the Information (MI) OR Museum (MMSt) field and identify a real, substantial gap or challenge within it. Describe the challenge, suggest a viable solution, and illustrate how your skill set, knowledge, and expertise can meaningfully contribute to implementing this solution.
MQ2: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism
The Faculty of Information is strongly committed to initiating, cultivating and sustaining an academic community that engages diverse intellectual and cultural perspectives, and that values inclusion, acceptance, shared responsibility, and mutual respect. Tell us how your experiences, perspectives, or actions would contribute to this goal.
7. Reflective Questions
With these questions, we would like to learn about your interpersonal skills and your ability to reflect on past experiences. Please feel free to provide example(s) from your personal, professional, or academic life.
Please answer two of these questions to enrich your application.
Please respond to each question separately, include the word count in each heading, and make it clear which questions you are responding to.
RQ1: Creativity
Creative potential can take many forms: problem-solving, innovative thinking, and artistic expression. What are some ways you personally channel your creative inclinations, and how would your creative outlets influence your academic and professional journey within the context of the Faculty of Information?
RQ2: Flexibility
What is a real-life, non-academic experience you have had in which things did not go as you had planned or hoped? What happened, how did you navigate the situation, and what benefits or opportunities for growth did you take away from the experience?
RQ3: Resilience
Reflect on a major challenge you have confronted in your life and discuss the strategies you have employed against it. What progress have you made towards overcoming the challenge, and how has this struggle impacted your experiences or achievements?

(Optional) Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your academic record or experiences (e.g., inconsistencies, gaps, policies, circumstances, etc.)?
Tips
We care about your unique interests, accomplishments, and perspectives, and this document is our opportunity to get to know the most important things about you. Here are some tips to ensure your responses represent you well.
- Be clear, focused, and organized. Plan out your responses and ensure they follow a logical structure. Consider why we may be asking each question, and how to answer it as directly and concisely as possible.
- Be authentic, reflective, and specific. Consider how to apply your own writing voice to your responses, what key messages you want each response to convey to someone who doesn’t know you, and what concrete examples from your experience you can use to support these messages. We want to understand your journey and the challenges you have faced, but you don’t need to write about a life-changing event, personal hardship, or difficult circumstance to have a strong application.
- Be careful with clichés, cultural references, and humour. Clichés and canned phrases reduce your ability to differentiate yourself from other applicants, while references to media and ironic or joking phrasing may not be accurately understood by your readers.
- Revise and review. Give yourself enough time to think about your responses, to write a few drafts, and to come back to them with fresh eyes. Check your spelling, grammar, and structure. Read your responses out loud and ask people you trust who know you well for their perspective on how your writing represents you to a reader.
文书思路建议
首先，在文书中展现你的个性是关键，放心地描绘你在信息领域的独特经历和对技术的热情。或许你在编程中发现了一种趣味，或者你曾在团队项目中展现过出色的合作能力，都是让你脱颖而出的故事。
第二点，坦诚地谈谈你为什么对Master of Information项目感兴趣。比如是不是曾经遇到了一个让你着迷的信息挑战？或者是梦想着用信息技术来改变社会？找到你个人的“为什么”，写下来，轻松自然。
还有，在文书中展示你的学术背景和相关技能。但别让它变成干巴巴的履历表。适当穿插一些实际经历，比如在课程中的启发瞬间或者你在实际项目中如何运用所学知识。
当然还要谈谈你怎么为未来铺路！讲述一下你对未来的规划，以及Master of Information项目如何成为你职业生涯的有力推手。是不是期待着在信息领域探索未知？别忘了把这份憧憬融入你的文书中。
最后肯定要谈谈如何与学校期望相结合。了解一下多伦多大学的教育理念，看看它与你的想法是否契合。别忘了提及一下你对于融入多大校园文化的期待，或者是你对于多元化和包容性的认可。
