From Language Barriers to Law School: Victoria’s Journey to U of T and Beyond

We sit down with Victoria - a future lawyer, Terry Fox Humanitarian Scholar, and AdmissionPrep Advisor - to explore her incredible journey from moving to Canada in Grade 10 with a language barrier to graduating from high school with a 99% average.

Victoria shares how she built her community through service, earned one of Canada’s most competitive awards, and found her path to law school through reflection and self-discovery - including her year working in Tanzania with Global Affairs Canada.

We discuss the truth about U of T’s reputation (is it really that hard?), how to thrive as an ambitious student, and why taking a gap year might be the smartest move you can make.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

How Victoria overcame challenges as a newcomer and became a national scholarship winner
What it’s really like to study at U of T — the rigor, resources, and reality
Insights on preparing for law school and finding your purpose along the way

💡 Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, Victoria’s story is proof that resilience and curiosity are still the superpowers of the next generation.
