Take Econ 1B03 to keep the management option open. A lot of people also like to take Econ 1BB3 as well. They're easy courses and they're even easier if you took econ in high school.

I also have other suggestions regarding timetables. Don't put Labs/Tutorials in the morning! You will regret it. I hated waking up for an 8:30 physics tutorial/lab and hated it even more when I had to wake up at 8:30 for 1C03 tutorials.

About McKay. I had a pretty good experience with him. I had him for Physics 1D03 and 1E03 and didn't find it hard to follow the lectures.

And about the scoring for 2nd year admissions. It's basically GPA times Units taken or something like that. So the number of units you take affects your score.

To whoever said that labs will rarely take 3 hours, I think that's very dependent on your TAs. If you have ******* TAs for the physics labs that make you do absolutely everything (i.e. drawing those pointless overshooting and undershooting slopes on your graph), it can easily take 3 hours.

Agreed. Almost all my physics labs took me and majority of the class the full 3 hours.

well going into second year I can say that, it seems almost stupid if 1P03 is only offered in 1st term as some skills learned in 1C03 such as Solid Edge and sketching can be really useful in the project if done right.
