Life Science First Year
Just wondering what you guys think of my first year course selection.

MATH 1LS3
BIO 1A03
PSYCH 1X03
CHEM 1A03
KIN 1Y03

BIO 1M03
PSYCH 1XX3
CHEM 1AA3
PHYSICS 1B03
KIN 1YY3

Do you guys have any recommendations for electives? I'm bent towards KIN, but I'd also like to keep my options open for vet/med school as well. Are there any courses I should place instead of KIN, or at least have as a second option if the classes are full? I was also thinking about taking some MMedia courses or a language course like Japanese, French, etc, since I have an interest in those sort of things.

I was also hearing that I should perhaps switch my BIO courses around? Is this very recommended?

Thanks for the help :]

edit: I was also wondering if I should be focusing on cores right now. Don't I have to wait until August before I can start switching my schedule?

Honestly, just take whatever electives you're interested in. There's no rush to fulfill all grad school prereqs; you'll have plenty of space to finish them in your four years. I'm not exactly sure why people are saying to switch the bio courses around, it's standard to take 1A03 first.

What do you mean focusing on cores? Right now you're only able to pick your courses, the system will randomly assign you to cores/tutorials/labs. If you don't like what they've done, you can try and switch things around when SOLAR re-opens in August.

^its not standard to take a03 first. half take a03 and half take m03. how can that make it seem like a03 is standard? take whatever bio fits better in your schedule.

Only if you are actively looking for each other. There are so many people in first year classes.
