going into an Honours program
Soooo i screwed up my first year... real bad
bad enough that I wasn't able to get into my Honours Life Sci for 2nd year
I was wondering if i could still go into the Honours Life Sci for 3rd year if I do well this year?
i know i should really go to the academic advisor for things like this but if anyone could help i'd greatly appreciate it
it's kinda embarrassing to go and talk to them about how i did bad and stuff >_>

Yes, you have to get your average up to whatever the minimum is and talk to them to switch into the program.

They deal with these situations every year. You shouldn't let embarrassment prevent you from achieving your goals.

The Academic Advisors will allow you to switch into the program upon reaching the grades required to get into the program. The only thing is that you would have the mandatory courses that Honours Programs (I'm assuming there are for Hons. Life Sci) 2nd Year in your 3rd year, and so on and so forth.

Don't let embarrassment keep you from achieving what needs to be done. Its for your future, and you're paying for school. Make the most of it =P

Best of Luck.
