Hi every one,
I am kind worry about my average grade will end up like 5 for my first year, because most science level 2 program req 6.0(except none honor B.sc). What happen if i didn't get in honor program? I know I can "shadow" in one of these honor program. Does that mean I can choose same course I want like honor program student and apply for the program I want in 3rd year?
Anyone in this situation before?

Thanks

You'd go into the non-honours program, and get your grades up if you want to switch to the honours program. Some courses are only for people in honours programs so you may not be able to take all the courses you want in second year, but you wouldn't really have to go out of your way to "shadow" since the courses are pretty similar anyways. You can compare the course requirements for honours vs non-honours in the course calendar.

Also, if you have a 5.5-5.9 average you can STILL GET INTO HONOURS LIFE SCIENCES and take all the same courses but you will be on probation and MUST have a 6+ average in the next year.

In addition to what's been mentioned so far, the 6.0 average is only the minimum requirement for many programs. Except for life science, most science programs are limited enrolment, so it's competitive to get in. therefore the actual cut off ends up being higher than 6.0. honours life science is non-limited enrolment so anyone with above 6 can get in.
