Anyone in life science 2nd year and above, can you tell me how the program is in terms of preparing for MCAT? On the school website for H.life science says "Registration in the Honours Life Sciences program does not guarantee access to all courses. Some courses have program restrictions and students are responsible to read course prerequisites carefully." would this become a problem to enroll in courses that would be good to take for students looking for MCAT or med school?

I'm sure that you can do well on the MCAT simply by studying for it, and which stream you decide to enter would not have too much effect.
I'm preparing for the MCAT right now, and I'm surprised by how much of the material I covered in high school. Don't fret about the MCAT while choosing courses, its not worth it. When it comes time to study, you'll go over it all again anyways

If you're feeling a little nervous about it, maybe you should consider taking an MCAT prep course. I've heard mixed opinions about their usefulness, but if you have some spare money...!
