Honours Biology (core) Or Life Science 2
How many people do they let into Honours Biology(core) ? Ive heard 50... but surely that cant be right.
What average do i need for both programs, and how many people do they accept?

Hey,
Honestly, stay in life science, i love it! The new re-vamped life science has some good courses to offer, and to tell you the truth, there not very hard at all.... but very interesting (ie in research methods, we talked about programmed cell death, cancer and all that quite interesting stuff, and we have our own animal behaviour class with dr. beston who is great!
Why stay in life science you ask? BECAUSE then you can take almost every course in the bio core program pretty much, but you also have the choice of taking less if theres some biology courses that dont appeal to you. Why go specialized and limit yourself to choice? unless ofcourse you plan on going graduate studies in biology

Hey man will you please let me know, what do you mean by "plan on going graduate studies in biology." I am thinking of either getting into med school or optometry school.
As of now im gonna apply for Honours life science, Bio Chem, Honours Biology (physiology) and Bio Psych. But, im thinking of choosing honours life science over others because i don't want to choose a major yet. I really don't know, which line i really want to go into, so im gonna take my time during this summer and figure out. Will you or anybody please give me some incentives on this issue?
Thank you

lol of course regular life science II. They won't ask you to re-frosh. The difference is honours is 4 years long 120 credits, regular life science is 3 years long 90 credits in total. |
