Btw solar is only being closed for a few days. I believe... you can still make changes after August 9th (that's when our timetables are released).

Don't waste your time and money taking Physics 1L03. If you need the review, go over your Grade 12 notes. Take Phys 1B03 instead; most 2nd year science programs mandate it, so you'd be saving yourself the effort in the long run. I heard it can be harder during the regular year but I think staying on top of the material and asking for help should be all you need

you've opened up alot of doors but u closed off a main one which is honours life sci so unless ur pretty kickass in physics and chem be careful. but i see u have some easy electives to help ur CA. I also think it sucks that physics is required for most bio programs. like i can SEE the applications it can be used for but like honestly not every BIOLOGIST likes physics hence why we move to biology!

sorry i meant to say i wan to get into honours biology and pharmacology...and may i ask how did i close off a main door which is honours life sciences? because with the courses i have currently i can still get into honours life sciences..i look at the courses required and it said completion of either physics 1B03 or physics 1L03 can be used

maybe you can exchange environmental science or astronomy for psych 1xx3 if you wanted to keep the life science program option open
