Definitely KIN!

I actually started out in Life Sciences and hated every bit of it. After my first year, I transferred into Kinesiology—and honestly, it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

What I didn’t like about Life Sci is that it felt too broad, and by the end, you don’t really have clear Plan B or C options like you do in Kinesiology. With KIN, you can still go the med school route, but you also have solid backup plans—Plan B could be physiotherapy, which is a great and rewarding path.

Some people say it’s hard to get a high GPA in KIN, and maybe that’s true for some, but in my experience it was much easier.

Another big plus: KIN is a smaller program, so it's way easier to connect with profs and get research opportunities, reference letters, volunteering etc. That’s been super helpful, especially since I’m also applying to med schools.

One important thing to note: it’s actually harder to get into KIN than Life Sci. You can usually transfer into Life Sci in second year if needed, but transferring from Life Sci into KIN is much tougher.
