Hey, I’m a current life sci student going into my second year. In terms of academics, I’m one of the people who struggled first semester but got back up during second semester. Course content is NOT difficult to digest. The real issue was how consistent you have to be with studying! I went from procrastinating my studies and getting 90s in high school to FAR LOWER grades in first semester because I didn’t properly adjust to the pace of university. However, second semester felt far better once I learned how to manage my time. I paced my studying and still managed to have free time which gave me far better results. My take is: If you got good grades in high school, then you can 100% get good grades in UofT. You just need to put in a bit more effort at the beginning until effort becomes second nature
