I want to transfer from life sci 1 to health sci next year. yes i understand it isnt easy but id like to try anyways. im just wondering if theres mandatory courses i need to take before i can attempt to transfer. or easy electives i can take to boost my GPA and higher my chances of getting in. thanks

2 Bios and 2 Chems. Here's the excerpt from the calendar:

Transfer Applicants

Transfer applicants will be admitted to the B.H.Sc. (Honours) Program from other programs at McMaster and from other post-secondary institutions. The process will be competitive and will be based on the student's academic qualifications and a Supplementary Application. Enrolment is limited. Students interested in being considered for admission to Level II of the B.H.Sc. (Honours) Program must have completed the equivalent of six units of university Level I Biology and six units of university Level I Chemistry. A cumulative average of at least 10.0 (minimum overall average of A-) will be required for admission consideration.

I actually transferred from life sci. You need to complete bio 1a03 and 1m03 as well as chem 1a03 and 1aa3. In terms of electives. Just take what you like. Mine were econ 1b03 and math 1lt3 and they were fairly easy.

I think it's recommended that you also take psych, otherwise you'll have to take an extra course in second year if you do transfer
