I don't think it is fair to make a generalization that everyone in Life Sci will take those courses, I myself took Kin courses and many people I know took a variation of economics, languages geography, philosophy, math etc.

That being said I have heard that the courses are quite interesting and not too difficult (...of course purely anecdotal from those I know who have taken them).

instead of almost all, i should say many. theres ~600 kids in enviro 1a03. 1st year enviro i dont think even has 100 kids. its a popular elective either way

thank you so much to all your replies, really gave me hope in getting into mac, and a sense of ease. I've been stressing out like crazy over getting into life sci and its been super disappointing to see the light and not be able to reach it, if ya know what I mean. Though, boy is it comforting knowing that ill be safe with enviro sci, and wont necessarily need to take enviro courses and even if I did they are not that difficult. Thanks again, much much appreciated
