hey!<\/p>\n
I’ve been reading your is for some time now and was hoping you could help me out. I am a 3rd\/4th year student and I spent all of last year taking the required courses to graduate with a major in psychology on time. Even for this year I picked courses relevant to the major in hopes that I would have enough marks to at least get into the minor. What sucks is that i didn’t get into either. And it turns out that for the last 2 years, the average threshold has been pretty high so the calendar was wrong. I just don’t know what to do. I honestly hoped that I would get in and I really wanted to graduate by next November. I basically spent an year taking courses that I didn’t,t even need. Is there even a remote chance of getting 85% in a 200-level psych course at UTSG?<\/p>\n
Best,<\/p>\n

well, i hate to be that person<\/em><\/a>, but the calendar isn’t wrong. psychology’s minor, major and specialist are all type 2L subject POSts<\/a>, which means that there is a finite number of spaces in each POSt. so, even if you meet the prerequisites, you may not get in.<\/p>\n that said, don’t be too hard on yourself for it. psych is insanely popular<\/a> in this faculty, so the competition that you were up against was not insignificant (to put it mildly<\/a>).<\/p>\n i think now is the time to weigh your options and decide what you want more: to graduate with a psychology POSt, or graduate by next November.<\/p>\n if you don’t want to be here over four years, it may be wise to start planning to graduate with whatever POSt(s) you’re currently in.<\/p>\n as for whether there is the chance of getting in 85% in 1 200-level psych course: beats me.<\/p>\n people do it, so it must be possible, strictly speaking, but one person’s possible is another person’s impossible. without knowing your strengths, i have no idea whether it would be possible for you<\/em>, and that’s what’s counts<\/a>.<\/p>\n what i would do is make an appointment with your registrar’s office. they can take a look at your whole academic history and advise you on your options.<\/p>\n based on your transcript and chatting with you one-on-one, they can tell you whether they think that 85% is feasible, and also, whether it’s a good idea to pursue a psych POSt again.<\/p>\n
