Hi,
I just finished my first year life science at UTSG. I applied to some specialist programs but didn’t get accepted. Let’s say if I enrol in the major programs instead, can I upgrade to specialist after finishing required second-year courses with a good GPA? Some programs I’m interested in are Immunology, Pathobiology, Pharamacology.
Thank you so much,
HD

Hi HD,
Sorry to hear about not getting in after first year. I?m even sorrier to say that some programs make the entry requirements a little more difficult for people trying to get in after their second years. (Believe me, I went through that after deciding to switch programs.)
But as I?m sure you already noticed, you have to be enrolled in Subject POSt(s) to be able to enroll for the next year. So I?m sure at this point you realized that you had to settle for the major programs for now so that you could?enroll?in your courses for the 2012-2013 year. All you can really do this year is work your butt off and raise that GPA. With that, you should be able to reapply for the specialist POSts that you want. Just make sure to read the requirements they set for students trying to enter after second year in the calender.
Good luck!
