Hey!
Thanks for answering my previous question, I am glad that helpful people like you exist. I have another question, if you don’t mind. I have applied as a humanities student and have deferred my admission until next year. Now knowing that I want to study psychology (and not IR as I said on my application… Big jump, eh?), I hear that that psychology is part of the Life Sci stream. Does this mean that I won’t be able to major in psychology, seeing as I’m a humanities student? Should I apply again, this time indicating a preference for life science?
Thank you very much for helping, you’re awesome.

hey there,
yeah, i know, you just can’t get enough of me, right? what can i say, i have that effect on people…it’s not something you can teach, you’re either born with it or not…
anyway. DON’T apply again. it doesn’t REALLY matter what you come into uoft doing. if you’re a first year in the faculty of arts & science, you’re pretty much the same as all the other first years in the faculty of arts & science. just a part of the faceless, nameless hoard.
if you want to major in psychology, the only thing you need to do is make sure you enrol in PSY100H1. that course doesn’t have any enrolment controls, so you’re free to take it in first year.
as long as you take it and do well (and you took calculus in grade 12), you’re eligible and competitive to get a spot in a psych subject POSt. just make sure to apply to the major after first year.
if you have any more questions about psych, feel free to browse aska’s psychology tag, ’cause i get an ungodly amount of questions about psych at uoft. they should just give me an honorary degree at this point, i’m thinking. but they keep telling me there are “protocols” and i can’t just “waltz into their office demanding a degree.” whatever.
cheers,
aska
