I'm in second year and I want to take LifeSci 3A03 next semester, one of the prerequisite is lifesci 2A03 which I am taking next semester. On the requisite waiver form it asks for the course, do I write lifesci 3A03 or lifesci 2A03?

I haven't actually seen the waiver form, but you obviously need to put the course that you're requesting a waiver for somewhere on the form. I'm not sure if it asks what the prereq you're missing is, though. So I'd assume 3A03 but without actually seeing the form in context I can't say for sure.

Are you positive you even need a waiver? I've had friends who've taken it in their 2nd year like you after taking 2A03 in first term.

According to the undergrad calendar being in 3rd year or above is just strongly recommended but not actually required. Here's the link:

If you haven't already I'd double check with the science advisors to make sure you even need that waiver at all lol
