Okay so im in grade 12 and have changed my courses around in order to get into psychology, but U of T is the only school that wants calc and i cannot describe to you the hatred i have for math! Plus it will definitely lower my average. Im really interested in psychology though and don’t want to compromise, is there any way i can get accepted into life science without calc but just take a calc course first year? If so please let me know if this is possible and how to do it!<\/p>\n

Heyo<\/p>\n

So technically you can still take PSY100 and actually see if you like psychology without calculus. There are like 38837478340 high schoolers who think psych sounds soooooo~ interesting and actually see all the work behind it and change their mind, so you can definitely just take it for fun.<\/p>\n

However, if you fully intend to make it your program of study<\/a>, then stay in calculus dude. Why do you need calculus? Well, psychology is a science<\/a>. Science involves numbers and statistics and all those horrifying things.<\/p>\n

As for taking calculus or some equivalent at UofT, sadly all the 100-level math courses also require calculus. Naturally. So again, I’d say your best bet is to stay in calculus. I mean cheating in high school for your calculus credit will be a lot easier. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

…to be clear, that was a joke. Cheating is bad<\/a>. Baaaad.<\/p>\n

But good luck!<\/p>\n
