Do you think I should change econ to kin or would that be too much workload as I'm taking bio 1a0s, chem 1aa3, physics 1bo3, and psychs 1xx3.
Thanks!
PS thanks silver, I decided to take econ in 2nd year  |
Don't take a course just because you heard it was easy. If you hate it, you probably won't want to study for it and won't get a good mark.
Both kins are super chill electives, as I've said before. Your workload isn't anything unique, it's rather typical.

Aren't the psych courses considered social science? Wouldn't those courses fill the requirement?

I'm not too sure but I believe they count as science courses. If it is it would help me a lot as I could take kin 1yy3 second term. |

I posted on one of these threads earlier today (or yesterday?)...many professional schools will count first year psych as social science. Check with the ones you're considering. |

Yes I found a document (from the mac website) that says psych is part of social sci! Now I can take kin 1yy3 instead of econ |

You need to look it up for all the programs and schools you want to apply to, not just one. |

This document states that all Psychology, neurosci, and behaviour courses are part of the social sci faculty. |

you dont need to worry about post grad yet. with the typical life sci schedule, options are still pretty open after first year for things like pharmacy, med, grad, w/e so just relax and take what you like as stated earlier.

At McMaster. Other schools consider it differently.
Example: UofT pharmacy only considers first year psych as soc sci, and all others as science. This is different from the document you found which says ALL PNB courses are part of soc sci. |
