Hi!<\/p>\n

I’m a first year student desperately wanting to do the specialist program
\nin Molecular biology, however I failed one of my prereq courses (Mat134 –
\ncalc for life science) and bc of that I only have 3.5 completed credits.
\nDue to all this, I was refused from the program enrollment, as well as all
\nof the other 4 backup programs I applied to. If I’m able to revive my GPA
\nto about a 3,0, will I be able to enroll in the program after second year?
\nAlso, do I have to already be enrolled into a program in second year?<\/p>\n

Thanks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

hello!<\/p>\n

you have to be completed 4.0 FCEs<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

according to the artsci calendar<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

i hope this helps!<\/p>\n
