heyy
I was wondering of what to choose, at the moment i kinda want to go into the medicine field, but at the same time i kinda want to do architecture as well, but i don’t have physics 12 and apparently U of T doesn’t offer architecture design. So im kinda lost. please help! =)
Thanks
Let me get straight to the point here.
A-??? your lack of grade 12 physics does not prevent you from getting into “the medicine field” whatever that may be. Take a look at all the boring questions I answered regarding this subject, under the tag “med-school”. You can apply to UofT through the social science/humanities stream and still get into first year science courses that are required for life science programs. But again, that does not guarantee you getting into anything medicinal.
B- Yup, architecture at the undergraduate level here at UofT is more on the theoretical side. But that’s common in Canadian/American universities. In any case no undergraduate program will enable you to graduate as an architect, and theory is probably important too. If you are looking for something more hands on and design-oriented, you should look elsewhere (Ryerson comes to mind, but there are probably other places).

uoft does have architectural design, take a look at their site.

It offers a theory-history major as well as a design major but the latter leans more towards the theoretical more here than compared to other schools ie: ryerson.
if you want more technical, hands on architecture design with more emphasis on studio work rather than theory, then look into ryerson, waterloo or george brown. But in the end anyone can learn how to draw with a pencil or computer, but learning why you are drawing; its history or theory is much more valuable.
finally its true what aska stated, its not possible to to become a registered architect after graduating from a undergrad degree, you need a masters (which uoft has an excellent program) or the BArch (Bachelor of Architecture) which is only in certain schools outside canada and soon becoming obselete as well.

I might be a little late to reply but
I think you guys are missing his/her point.
Medicine or Architecture? You can’t choose? Consider a few factors;
-Don’t let stereo types/ peer pressure/ pressure from your parents get in the way. it’s always about what you FEEL better doing (for the rest of your life mind you).
-Don’t think about the money you’ll end up receiving in the field. If you work hard in ANY course, money will pour down like rain ( considering you have a bit of luck too )
-And lastly, don’t consider how hard a field can be. You’re growing up now, you should be able to challenge yourself to work for something.
