Hey, I'm considering doing Honours Bio/Math for second year, but does anyone know what the program's like?

Has very few people. Under 10 or even 5. At least that's how it is for 4th years in that program.

^No, that's right. Alastair (IA for Bio) told me during the programs fair that the program got 10 people last year alone. So it's very small.

10 people? I thought it was 7

Anyways, if you like bio and math, then why not, you should give it a try.

Are the math and bio components of that program integrated in anyway? or will it just be a program that allows you to take half bio courses, half math courses?

It's just basically half bio, half math. http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...nt/pg1532.html

From what I remember, it was completing courses from both disciplines. However, there ARE maths courses that model/integrate bio in them, so they're not completely exclusive.
