Hey do you guys know what the Honours Bio cutoff was last year? I also heard that you need a min of 7 in each chem. Is that true?

thats not true. cutoff is prob around 8.5ish. check course calender for more details.

the course requirements are listed here: http://www.science.mcmaster. ca/ass...ology_lr.pd f

the cutoffs usually arent published, but if you go to the info night they usually give you the range for previous years



ps. the 7 requirement is only for biopsych

I'm assuming they use your first semester marks?

average of both terms.

The Honours Bio cutoff was 8.5 the BioPsych was 8.3 for last year.

Source: Biology Undergraduate meetings, as this was a source of problem because all specialized programs should be higher than or equal to the Bio average to allow default switching back into General Bio.

Definitely not, especially because there are second term prerequisites and minimum grades in certain second year courses as well. You won't find out what programs you get into until grades are finalized in May.
