I’m a UTM student and wondering, is it still possible for me to get into the psychology program after 3rd year? I have taken PSY100 and 2 credits worth of second year psych courses. I’m only missing the stats course (which I’m planning on taking the first term of my 3rd year).

hey there,
yes, it is still possible. however, depending on the exact program you’re applying to and whether you’ve already applied and been rejected once, the requirements to now try and get in will be different. you can see all the different requirements for each situation here. all of them require that you’ve taken PSY201H5, so taking stats in third year (or maybe even in the summer, if you can) is a good idea.
the fact that you’ve taken 2.0 psych credits already is good news, though they do require a certain overall average in those courses for you to be eligible for the specialist (assuming you’re interested in the specialist). as far as i can tell, stats isn’t required to get in to the program, though it may be required to complete it.
all in all, if you’re willing to possibly stay behind for an extra year or take some summer courses, and you manage to get into the program, you could be on track to finishing with a degree in psychology!
if you have any more questions or the page i linked to doesn’t address your particular situation, i would recommend you contact the utm psychology office with your questions.
best,
