So basically I wanted to apply to Sociology or Criminology which requires a 63 in socio101, but I happened to get a 62…
\nRealistically what are the chances that I get in?<\/p>\n

Yo.<\/p>\n
What calendar were you reading?? For sociology<\/a>, you need at least a 65. And for criminology<\/a>, you need at least a 70 average between 2.0 FCE in SOC and some other categories like ECO, PSY, and PHL.<\/p>\n To be honest, with a 62 I don’t think you’ll be able to get into criminology unless you have a pretty fabulous grade in, say, ECO100Y, to boost your average. As much as criminology calls for just a 70, it’s a competitive program and you should at least try to get higher than that. As for sociology… I’d like to say that requirements are usually pretty rigid — so if you don’t meet the 65 they ask for, then you have to wait until you get the 65 they ask for. BUT, there’s always that “oh, just appeal<\/a> to the department” option sooo.<\/p>\n HOWEVER, sociology clearly states in the calendar that just having the asked for grade might not be enough, so don’t get your hopes too high.<\/p>\n But yeah, I took SOC101Y myself many moons ago and bam, 67. Let me tell you what, I hated that class with the fire of a thousand burning suns. Power to you for getting through it and then deciding sociology is what you wanted to be in. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So basically I wanted to apply to Sociology or Criminology which requires a 63 in socio101, but I happened to get a 62… Realistically what are the chances that I get in? \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Yo.
