Hey aska, this site is amazing and so helpful. I have a question about the Psychology programs at UTm and at UTSG. WHich one is more math based? or harder lets say? I am doing a victory lap and my marks and pretty good except for math. I want a BSC not a BA. ALot of people are telling me to go to York because it is much easier to get into and it specializes for their psychology program.
\nWhat is your opinion? i live much closer to Utm and it will be cheaper for me than taking the go bus every day.
\nthanks a bunch!<\/p>\n

Yo yo<\/p>\n

I think if you had a gun to my head … i know … intense … I would tell you to go to UTM. Its not often I give blunt answers, but you just seem to bring that out in me. Here’s my reasoning and you are free to ignore it… but it’s good, so don’t.
\nBelow I have included the course requirements for both UTSG and UTM. The only math-ish courses that you will have to take are Stats and Eco. Saying that, those are the requirements for both schools.
\nNow, if you want to chince out a little (and we all do it), I would chincing by going to UTM and not St.George instead of hauling your ass all the way to York.
\nFirst of all U of T is consistantly ranked in the top 20 schools in the world. When you graduate from U of T they don’t emphasize what campus you did so on.
\nSo to enter the major, you must have a 75% in the the Psy100 at the St. George campus and a 63% at the Missisauga one.
\nAlso I’m a little comfused what you are saying about York. U of T does offer a Psych Specialist in Science. Im going to assume its harder to get into than Yorks but probably waaaay better.
\nAlthough word on the street <\/a>is that York students are better looking.<\/p>\n
