Hi!
I’m a first year student desperately wanting to do the specialist program
in Molecular biology, however I failed one of my prereq courses (Mat134 –
calc for life science) and bc of that I only have 3.5 completed credits.
Due to all this, I was refused from the program enrollment, as well as all
of the other 4 backup programs I applied to. If I’m able to revive my GPA
to about a 3,0, will I be able to enroll in the program after second year?
Also, do I have to already be enrolled into a program in second year?
Thanks 🙂

hello!
you have to be completed 4.0 FCEs in order to enrol in a subject post. that’s probably why you didn’t get into your 4 backup programs. when you’re done 4.0 FCE, then you can enrol in a subject post.
according to the artsci calendar, you need a 70% in BIO130H1 or BIO230H1 in order to be considered for the molecular biology specialist. they also have a couple of preq courses outlined in the calendar. i would check those out too.
as for getting your GPA up, there isn’t a specific GPA or CGPA requirement outlined in the calendar, but i imagine it would be competitive. i don’t want to give a specific number. again, i just want to avoid giving false information, and i’m sure it fluctuates year to year.
i hope this helps!
