I don't know about that, since I don't really know what you mean by 'good at math' - do you mean good at computation (as in math 1A/1AA, and parts of 1B)? I know plenty of people that do well in first-year 'plug-and-chug' calculus (1A/1AA) but have a lot of trouble with any degree of mathematical abstraction. The same case is particularly evident for math 1B03, which most people think is a bird course, but actually involves quite a bit of abstract algebra - for example, you could easily 12 that course by just thinking a determinant is 'ad-bc' and not realizing the amount of algebra required to really define the property.

Hey, I heard some people say that in order to get accepted into Health Sci for Sept 2010, some went through an interview? Does this happen after the supplimentary applications are due? Also, how early do they send out acceptences?

Thanks in advance!

There's no mention of an interview process.

There's no interview. I sent in my supplementary application and then was sent my response in mid may after my 2nd semester mid term marks went in, nothing crazy.
