Hi aska!? I just have a brief question about Majors with a GPA requirement! Let’s say I get the required GPA of 2.0 for the Bio major and I’ve done everything else that is needed. Is is true that there is still a chance that I won’t be allowed into it? (which would suck 🙁 ) And if there is a chance, is it a slim one or pretty darn big? Thank you aska, you’re the best! 🙂

hey there!?
it?depends on the type of subject POSt you’re applying to. POSts are either type 1, 2(/2L) or 3 subject POSts.
a type 1 POSt has no specific prerequisites, a type 2 POSt has certain prerequisites but you’re guaranteed admission as long as you meet them, and a type 3 POSt has specific prerequisites and limited enrolment – meaning that even if you meet the prereqs, you might not get in.
of course, your chances of getting into any program with limited enrolment?(i.e. a type 3 program) depend on the popularity of the program and the strength of your academic record, so i can’t really help you with that. i can’t read your academic past?through the screen, you know. only in person.
the biology major is a type 1 program, so i have a feeling that you were just using that as an example. find the POSts you’re interested in on this list and see if they’re type 1, 2 or 3. that’ll tell you if you’re guaranteed admission, or if you’ll have to spend all your birthday wishes on trying?to get in.
cheers,
aska
