Life Science Schedule
So far, I've planned my schedule like this:

Term 1
Bio 1M03
Physics 1B03
Chem 1A03
Psych X03
Math 1LS3

Term 2
Bio 1A03
Chem 1AA3
Econ 1B03
Psych XX3
Math 1LT3

I've been debating whether to have cell bio in first sem instead and evolution second. However, I got worried that three 3 hour labs would be too unbearable in the first semester. Should I keep it like this or have cell bio in the first term? Thanks.

It doesn't really matter because there are only five 1A03 labs and 1M03 has tutorials which require a fair bit of work as well. Either way won't be too bad. Personally I had 1A03 first but a lot of my friends had it second and didn't seem to have a problem with it.

I did 1A03 first semester and 1M03 second semester. There is some overlap between material from 1A03 and Psych 1XX3 (chromosomes, mutations etc.) so I found that to be an advantage of taking 1A03 first semester. But 1M03 requires quite a bit of time and effort to memorize all the facts so taking it first semester might be better because the workload there isn't as bad.

Hmm...ok. I think I'm going to stick with what I have now. Also, does chem 1aa3 have a lab every week? Thanks again.

CHEM 1AA3 has labs every other week, five in total if I remember correctly. (Exactly the same as CHEM 1A03)

I see other people are taking Bio 1A03 in first semester...is it difficult to balance calc II, chem II, and cell bio in second semester? Still debating...x_x

You'll be fine. Your schedule is going to be nearly identical to the other kids in Life Sci.

Plus second year is going to get harder anyways.
