Is it possible to get a high GPA at McMaster Life Science?
Hi.

I got accepted to McMaster Life Science and I'm wondering how hard it is...
Currently I'm deciding between Mac LS and Western Medical Science.

I've been hearing from different sources that McMaster Life Sci is insanely hard, and is a killer like U of T Life Sci with all the grade deflation.

I'm a med hopeful so I really need an 11 or higher...

Is it true that Mac Life Sci is insanely hard? Is it possible achieve a high GPA, and what are the difficult courses?

Thanks so much!

Plenty of people achieve high GPAs in life sci and several go on to med school.

I agree with starfish.. it is definitely possible to do well in life science. Some second year specializations are more difficult than others, but even so, achieving a GPA of greater than 11 in the program is do-able.
