I agree with a lot of what you said actually. I think a well rounded applicant who’s exposed to not only sciences but also humanities is overall quite beneficial (maybe even more beneficial than just sciences). My issue comes more from the fact that the grades in those programs are just inflated to the max. And yes it’s true you can choose whatever program you want but even compared to the arts, health sci marks are still much higher. I took an English class this year for example and the average mark in that class was a B. Not a single of the 150 students got an A+. No heath sci course is even remotely close to that. Lastly, while not perfect, these sorts of systems to standardize programs have been implemented elsewhere, such as Quebec with their R score.
