hey
I only applied to U of T humanities and I want to take all science/math courses (physics,bio, chem, calc)?in first year. Is it difficult to sign up for science courses as a student in the humanities admission category during course enrollment???Would all the science courses I need be filled up by the time the course enrollment priorities for life science people?have been lifted? What do you think? I am planning to?do a life science major or specialist subject POST after getting admitted into the humanities. Is this possible?
Thanks

So I asked the Innis registrar for you, and they told me that the life science courses usually don?t fill up. Keep in mind that the life science lectures are pretty huge?for instance, I?ve heard that first-year biology has more than 1000 spaces?so your chances of getting in are really high (also, there’s more than one section for most classes). Don?t worry! However, you should make sure that you have the correct prerequisites for the life science courses you are going to take. You?re going to need high school biology, chemistry, and math for sure.
Yes. It?s possible to do a life science major or specialist after despite being in the humanities stream. The stream (humanities, life sciences, physical sciences, or social sciences) which you are placed in only serves to give the University an idea of where their students are headed in general, and definitely does not restrict you from mixing things up. You choose your POSt after first-year.
I would advise you to call your college registrar and talk to them about this. I don?t think they will let you switch your stream from humanities to life science, but you never know. Besides, if you end up coming to UofT, you?ll be going to your college registrar quite often, so there?s no time better to start than now! If they don’t switch your stream though, don’t fret. It probably doesn’t matter much, since the chances of you not being able to get in the life science courses you want are preeeetty low.
