Applying for Second Year: Ordering My Choices
When applying for second year, should I order my choices based on preference or my likelihood of getting in?
I want to go into biopsych, but its the one I'm least likely to get in to... =(

you actually just dont choose, it picks for you.
no but, you choose your preference first. So even if your not sure you can get into biopsych put it as your number 1 choice because thats what you really want |

The lowest GPA they took for Honours Biology and Psychology was 7.7 last year. o.o;
For Honours PNB, it was 7.2.
You should do it by preference, since it forces you into the highest ranked program on your rankings that you are allowed into.

If I recall correctly, I think you get to choose if you get into more than one..

So does it matter to the people in charge of the program whether you rank it as your first choice. I mean, will they discriminate against you if you didn't rank it as your first choice (for instance, will they only consider people who ranked the program as their first choice?)
Thanks
