Workaround for Biology And PNB?
In the fall I will be in Social Sciences I. However, I plan to apply to Honours Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour (B.Sc.). I am able to meet all course requirements except for Biology 1A03, as I did not take grade 11 or 12 biology.

Are there any possible workarounds for this?

You also don't meet the requirement of being in a level 1 program in the faculty of science or in any program above level 1.
You will have to take bio 1P03 this year to replace grade 11/12 biology, and then get a waiver to take bio 1A03 in the summer after first year. The department doesn't grant waivers to non-science level 1 students during the regular school year.

I am taking Bio 1P03 as it's required for both Bio 1A03 and 1M03.

Thank you for the response. Since I would be taking Bio 1A03 after April, would I still be able to apply to PNB for second year? Also, would I still be taking 10 courses during the regular year?

You would get a conditional acceptance to PNB, which would be conditional on you passing 1A03.
Whether or not you take 30 units during the regular year is up to you.
