Do the universities check the average of whatever midterm marks you have this semester only, or will they check it with the final marks in semester one? Because with my two final marks (Adv Func - 81, Physics - 75), the average is 80% on the dot.
And would I get in with an 80 average??
that wont be enough, if you want to go to mac, apply to the environmental sciences and transfer into life sciences during your second year.

Or do better, you still have a good month or two of school left.

Be wary of life science, though, with your Biology mark as well as your chemistry mark (4 of the ten 1st yr classes) is considerably lower than the cut off. That being said, I don't know your situation, and I hope you do whatever makes you happy, but still, it is something to consider.

Enviro sci is a good option, but anything in the science faculty is fine, as long as you have the prereqs for level II at the end of it.
