admissions,  arts & sciences,  science

aska – pick philosophy! parents to aska – die, just die.

Today I signed up for university.
I have a bunch of interests, so I picked some artsy stuff, some science stuff, all sorts of stuff.
It just so happens that in the case of UoT I picked neuroscience, thinking that since arts and science is a big faculty, there’s a lot of flexibility. Doesn’t seem that way now that I’ve read the fine print. I like science, sure, but I want all that artsy stuff too. In fact, I think I’d love to go to UoT, but not for science. Not at all.
So,
1) what are my options? can I wait a few days for that OUAC thing to process, then go in and totally rearrange my picks for universities?
and
2) Now that I’ve realized how the colleges selections work, I think I may have picked the worst possible run-down of colleges. Please tell me I can fix this. I picked Vic 1st, trinity last, and the rest was random. I think the one with the ikea res was high up. No good.
Again, can I edit gritty details on my application, like college choice? and hopefully program choice?

wow, neuroscience. that is impressive. as a first student, whatever category you’ve been admitted to when you gain acceptance into U of T is actually pretty meaningless. as a science student, you may have a better start time, but it won’t stop you from signing up for whatever classes you’re interested in – artsy or not. at the end of your first year, you’ll sign up for something called a subject PoSt – which determines your major. that may limit your course options in eventual years, but you can always change it up if you have the right criteria.

cheers, askastudent
