Hello,<\/p>\n

I am in my fourth year at U of T-SG, within the past year or so I have taken a bunch of psych courses, approximately three credits, and have grown to genuinely enjoy the subject. I am looking to apply to the major at the next round of applications in the year 2012 however was wondering what kind of expectations I should have in regards to admission criteria. The arts and science calendar website says the following:<\/p>\n

To enrol after second year, students must have a) a senior-level high school Calculus course, or equivalent; b) a 73% in PSY 100H1; c) a 70% in PSY 201H (or equivalent); d) one additional 200-level PSY course with at least a 70%.<\/p>\n

Out of these I have a 78% in psych100 and a 76% in a 200 level PSY course. I have yet to complete the rest. The website says this is a limited enrollment program. I was wondering just how competitive this program is and what my chances of being accepted would be so far, keeping in mind that I have not yet completed all the pre-requisites.<\/p>\n

Also, if I am not accepted to the major on the SG campus is it possible to switch to the Mississauga campus where the admission\u00a0criteria is lower? Would it be possible to witch my two minors (Anthropology and French) as well?<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

-Erika<\/p>\n

Hey Erika,<\/p>\n

I feel terrible for breaking your heart because … you seem so nice. BUT your odds aren’t looking good. First off you (capital N) NEED (ok capital all letters) to have all the requirements to even be considered to be invited into the major.<\/p>\n

Secondly, for limited enrolment POSts …<\/p>\n

Side Bar Ted:<\/p>\n

Have you guys seen this<\/a>? Needless to say aska is fearless would not have flinched a muscle at the secretly terrifying thingermabug)<\/p>\n

Sorry terrible moment to have a side bar …<\/p>\n

Secondly, for limited enrolment POSts, the marks they give are the minimum that they will even consider. Your chances of getting in are actually a lot lower than what they give. It all depends on how many people apply and how smart the applicants are. The acceptance average is usually significantly higher. BUT your grades are higher than the minimum and you might have a lucky year … if you had the other requirements that is.<\/p>\n

You could switch … but it might be more of a pain in the ass then its worth. Check out this resource<\/a>;\u00a0it might help you to understand the transferring process.<\/p>\n

My vote is that you pop into your registrar’s office and talk with an academic advisor. They can check out your situation and tell you what game plan is best for you!<\/p>\n
