Hey!
\nI just have a quick question about selecting your program on OUAC.
\nSo I want to go to UTSG next year, but I’m also not really sure what I want to study. I know for sure that I don’t want to focus on science, but I definitely want to take some science courses. I know that even if I’m not enrolled in a science program I can still take a science course. But if I get into humanities or social science, for example, does that limit the number of science courses I can take? Am I required to complete a certain number of humanities\/social science courses, or can I just go with the flow and take whatever I want as long as I have the high school prerequisites? To be honest, I actually have no idea what I want to do with my future. I have an idea of the things that interest me, but I don’t want to sign up for four years of life science and regret it, and not be able to do the things I actually want to do.
\nI also want to have the best possible chance of getting into UTSG, so if you had any suggestions at all, I’d really appreciate it!
\nThanks in advance!

U of T actually, kind of, sort of understands that most students don’t really know what the hell they want to do with their lives. You don’t have to determine your subject POSt until the end of your first year… meaning you don’t reaaaally have to decide on your major until then.<\/p>\n
If you don’t know that you 100% want to be in science or humanities and are mainly looking at just getting accepted any darn way, I would apply for the easier program. You mentioned both Life Sci and Humanities. It’s easier to get into Humanities and you can always switch into Life Sci later. Once you’re already in the school it’s easier to switch between departments.<\/p>\n
Obviously there are limitations … it wouldn’t be U of T without them. First off some courses have enrollment limitations (so students in the program get first dibs). This doesn’t really matter all that much in first year, because the classes are usually massive.<\/p>\n
I feel like I had another limitation …. oh geez …. brain fart …<\/p>\n
meh<\/p>\n
well and make sure you select a program offered at UTSG … some fools don’t pay attention and wind up at another campus.<\/p>\n
