Please use this thread as a lot of upper years have already replied. Also, you can post your tentative timetable for someone to check it over for you.

I have these courses:

Term 1: Bio 2EE3, Bio 2D03, Chem 2OA3, Stats 2B03, Biochem 2B03

Term 2: Bio 2A03, Bio 2B03, Bio 2C03, Biochem 2EE3, Chem 2OB3

I am particularly worried about second semester. Is it recommended that I take all three biology courses at once? Will I be able to stay on top of things and end up with an okay mark (10 +)?

LS 2A03, 2D03, 2H03, 2N03 should be easy. Chem 2e03 is probably a joke, and the psych's are okay. Overall it's quite manageable.

Second semester looks a bit hard but manageable. I had a similar semester, except instead of bio 2a03 I had math 1aa3 and instead of cell bio I took some other elective. You might want to switch one course, but if not then it's still fine just a little on the heavy side.

Pretty much exactly the same course load I took, definitively manageable. Didn't have any problems with it.

For honours molecular biology and genetics, it states that the completion of Bio 2B03, Bio 2C03, and Bio 2EE3 is required in level 2. However, is it possible to take these courses during the summer, or must they be taken during the regular year?

"Level II" also includes the summer following Year II, so you can take one or two courses then too (I don't recommend you leave too many of the required courses till the summer!)

I've always said nothing is too hard.
