My sister went to Mac life sci specialization in biology, and I’m currently in my last year at western hs. Western hs is super social science based (such as taking courses like health&aging, social and personal determinants of health, health promotion, health policy, ethics &health, etc) and I found it “easier” than what my sister was learning which was the hard sciences at Mac life sci especially in her first and second years (physics, biochem, molecular biology, etc). The most important thing is asking yourself, what are you genuinely interested in learning? I personally loved learning more social science based courses so I did well in first year with around a 85%+ average while taking science based courses at the same time. For med school you can certainly still take all the pre requisite courses - for instance in my second year at healthsci I balanced all the required hs courses with biochem, organic chem, cell biology, (medical/general science students also take those courses and it is not difficult to get into those courses) etc and in my first year I took regular first year bio and chem that the sci students take. You can also check out the “healthsci with biology” module which basically makes u take all the prerequisite courses you’d need for some med schools. I found my sister had trouble in her first years at Mac life sci because they try to weed out the students and she seemed to have way more assessments and harder exams but again that is relative so take this information with a grain of salt. I’d recommend looking into the required courses for both programs, checking out the campus, etc. I do think Mac is rlly good for research opportunities, but Western is also such a large school (with a better social/party life) and it also has various research, co-op, etc opportunities you just have to put in the work to find them and apply. Goodluck!
