Maths!!
So basically I hear so many rumors about taking 1a03 vs 1ls3 so what I was wondering is, is it true that if I take 1ls3 it doesnt qualify for my second year programs unless I have a 10+ in it? And also I know I need a full year of math to apply to med school so I was planning on taking stats second year will 1ls3 allow me to do that? My other option was taking both to be safe (1ls3 first semester and 1A03 second semester) would that be a better option?
I have Bio(1M03), Chem, physics (1ls3 I might take 1B03 second semester), econ (1B03) and and psych (1X03).

Hey, I took 1LS3 first semester and I wanted to take 1LT3 2nd semester, but it was full so I ended up taking 1AA3. I took it last yr, and in order to switch we only needed a B-(7) or above. I have friends that took 1Lt3 and i would say that 1ls3 and 1lt3 is probably easier* in terms of content. however, it also depends on the prof and what kind of midterms they have.

if you're planning to take more math classes make sure you have the right pre-requisites!(check the undergrad calender for course pre-reqs) I don't think you'll run into problems as far as getting into 2nd year programs, not sure where this whole 10+ thing is coming from :s unless it specifically states that in the program requirements?

(1lt3 is the continuation of 1ls3 to make a full year of math, as 1aa3 is cont. from 1a03 btw)

Psych (1X03)
Calc (1LS3)
Physics (1L03)

2nd Semester
Bio (1A03)
Chem (1AA3)
Physics (1B03)
Psych (1XX3)

Nope, it's a typical Life Sci schedule. There will be hundreds of students with the same classes/schedule as yours .
