subject POSt post number 236478153

Hi,

I am finishing my first year, and I have a couple questions about enrolling in subject posts.

1)? Is there a minimum amount of programs we can apply to? Also, can I? apply to, let’s say, a biology specialist AND a biology major AND a biology minor?

2) Can you explain the 12 course rule?

3) If I am taking courses in the summer that are prerequisites for a certain program, do I STILL apply during the first round, or do I only apply during the second round? Are there less chances of getting into the program second round?

4) Lastly, does it matter WHEN I apply, or does it not matter as long as it’s before the deadline? For example, if I applied on April 1st vs. April 3rd, do the spots get filled up? Does that mean I should apply sooner?

Thanks!

Yo!

You didn’t go to any seminars on Subject POSts by your college did you?

Don’t worry. I can tell.

Well, here are your answers — all of which can be found quite clearly conveyed on a few key UofT sites!

1) You need to either be in one of the following: (a) one specialist,? (b) two majors, or (c) one major and two minors. And no. No you can’t do a bio specialist, major, and minor. They’re all the same program.

2) The “12 course rule” only applies if you’re doing a double major. Essentially, it means that among your two majors, you need to have 12 different courses and that only a certain number of other courses may overlap depending on the programs. Take a look at the same page I linked you at for some examples by the university.

3) Second round. Duh. And your chances are pretty much the same.

4) No. Your marks are what matter.

always doing the basic research for ya,
