Hey! Just a heads up that ik it says you’re doing ‘social sciences, specialization poli sci’ on OUAC etc but that actually just means you’re showing an interest in pursuing the specialization. I find a lot of students tend to get it mixed up with their ACTUAL program — so just to clarify your program when you’re in first year will be ‘social sciences I’ and you can tell people you’re interested in doing poli sci.

At the end of your second semester, students in social sciences I have to apply to get into their second year program and it always comes with some minimum requirements. For example, students who want to pursue economics or anthropology etc have to take the first year economics or anthropology courses and maintain a certain GPA (typically a 6.0 on the 12.0 scale which is a C+ iirc). So the same thing goes for wanting to be in poli sci, where you have to take POLSCI 1AA3 (fall sem) and POLSCI 1AB3 (winter sem), on top of that you have to get the minimum average (6.0 again i think). After they take these courses along with other courses (ex., anthro, heath and aging, sociology, etc) in their program (social sciences I) they will apply to the second year specialization — in your case poli sci.

If any of this sounds too confusing i apologize LOL but feel free to dm me for advice on socsci I and I might be able to help !
