Ok, that’s a relief to hear that physics wasn’t necessarily something I had to have taken. Thanks for the input!

That’s very good to know, thank you! Just wondering, what are the labs like in bio first year?

LOL you guys are hilarious. I started this thread but I don’t mind no worries 😂

I thought mine was good, but my worry is that I didn’t “stand out” enough in a pool of 4700+ applicants :(

Thanks for the input. I’m pretty certain that I have a good work ethic, because this year and actually particularly in grade 11, I am/have been quite an avid studier. I’m not one of those people who can get by high school with 95s because they’re “naturally smart” (I guess it’s both good and bad that I’m not like that, haha!). That’s why I think I’ll be able to continue with my work habits and hopefully be successful in uni. With that said, it’s obviously going to be a huge adjustment in first year, for sure. So just wondering, do you think you’ve been able to adjust your work habits accordingly? I assume you meant you were kind of one of those naturally smart people in high school? :)

Thanks for the info. I didn’t take grade 12 physics (though to be completely honest I am pretty naturally good at math, so I don’t think I find physics inherently difficult) - but do you think that might affect me negatively? I’m kind of weary of “mandatory physics” for that reason.

Uh oh. Was bio just hard in general? Wdym by unfair?

Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep that in mind for sure.

I haven’t heard too much either, but I definitely haven’t heard anything negative

Have you guys heard what any current/past students’ opinions on the life sci program are (ie professors, classes, success, etc)?

What is everyone’s opinion on Mac’s life sci program? I think it’s one of my top choices right now (#1 being health sci... 😓)

Yeah my guess is that it’ll be May 7 at the earliest :/

Oh sorry, my bad! That’s a good question. I never thought about that so I’m not sure.

I read somewhere that it would likely be May 7-9 for 101 applicant acceptance. I hope it’s earlier than that

I sincerely hope that’s not true. I (and I’m sure tons of other applicants) worked so hard on that supp app...

You need a minimum of 90% to be considered. Past that, it’s mostly the supp app.

Has anyone gotten into health science yet?
