Size of 2nd year Science programs
Hi
I was just wondering what the sizes are for level 2 science programs like Honours life sci, Biochemistry, Honours Bio, and etc

Thanks!

I am not sure, but the sizes really don't matter. They go top down with grades to fill spots. If you have a 10, you'll get in everything. 9 should get you in everything except some specializations (like biomed), 8 should get you into everything on that list except possibly biochem. Honours Life Sci simply needs a 6.

Biochem is about 120ish people with about 20-40 per specialization.
I have no idea about bio.
Life sci is unlimited enrollment, so it can vary greatly.

Bio also has limited enrollment, with each of the specializations having tighter numbers.

The best people to contact about Bio's program sizes would be [email protected] (attn: Kathy McIntosh)

Sadly Kathy McIntosh has been snagged away to the Life Sciences department which regards itself as a separate entity from Biology

To OP - I wouldn't spend so much time getting worked up about numbers and chances of admission. I'm sure if you try your best there's you'll be eligible for at least one of the four you select.

(Can't you generally take most bio related courses as long as you're in some bio related program?)
