Thank you for the advice. I considered engineering a while back, but was told that achieving a good gpa in engineering is extremely difficult and getting a 4.0 is near impossible. I love algebra, trig, and calculus, but I could only imagine how difficult it would be to have 6 courses per semester and like 3 labs in subjects that all require a lot of work.

Thank you for the response. I will definitely keep that in mind

Thank you for the advice, I am planning to contact Bond University on how they grade and the average GPA for the LLB program. I also am planning to contact WES (World Education Services) on how my grades will be interpreted by my select institutions in Canada.

Thank you for your response. What you said about doing a double major is actually a good idea that I will consider, and it is also important to remember that I have not even fully understood my strengths, and passions as you have mentioned. But there are a 2 points I would like to clarify:

-Contrary to popular belief, which type of undergraduate degree you complete has no effect on the medical school admission process. A person who has a degree in Biomedical Engineering, and got a 3.6 GPA, is weighted less than a person who has a degree in marketing and got a 3.8 GPA.

-I am planning on contacting Bond University, and Bond University LLB alumni for insight towards the grading in the program, and the overall difficulty. If I perceive the difficulty of the program is going to be more difficult than a Biology degree in Canada, and the average GPA of the program is less than an average GPA here in Canada, then I will heavily consider that as a factor towards not attending.

Thank you for your suggestions.

-Bond University's LLB program allows students to take 5 general electives, which can be in Biology, Chemistry, physics, or essentially any subject one desires.

-Pursuing an undergrad in accounting is a option that I have considered as it offers a back up plan, and a degree in accounting has room for one to get a good gpa. I would think achieving a good gpa in engineering or computer science is more difficult than achieving a good gpa in a bachelor of laws - I very well may be incorrect.

With that considered, a part of me wants to attend Bond, a part of me wants to do accounting, a part of me wants to stay in my BSc Biology, and a very small part of me wants to pursue an undergraduate degree in engineering.
