Hi,<\/p>\n
I’m a grade 12 student who is interested in taking psych in ut st.george. However, I don’t have calculus and I didn’t take Functions (U) in grade 11( I came to Canada last yr and I have no idea that the course is important). Is there any other way that I can still take psych? Such as taking Calculus in 1st yr? Or should I take something else in 1st yr and then switch to psych in 2nd?<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
Basically, you’ve got two options here. Since you’re missing three math courses, there’s no way to finish them all in order to be considered for September 2014 admission. The admission decisions are made by June of every year, and after that it’s GAME OVER<\/a> until the next admission cycle.<\/p>\n Lucky for you, aska’s here to tell you all is not lost. What you can do is take a year off after you finish Grade 12, get your three credits at your high school during a victory lap (that is, a fifth year), and then apply for admission for September 2015. Easy-peasy, plus you get a year to work and think about your future and do all that mid-twenties soul-searching stuff<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, if you’re not up for any soul-searching garbage<\/a> and you really want to start university right after you finish high school, you can apply to a general social science program for first year, take PSY100H1 (the only required university course for a psych major), and complete the calculus requirement through uoft’s PUMP<\/a> (preparing for university mathematics) program during your first year, or through other alternative courses<\/a>. Then you have your requirement by the time you apply for the psych major at the end of first year. This is a great way to meet the psych requirements, explore all your interests and make sure psych is really what you want to do, all in your first year.<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi, I’m a grade 12 student who is interested in taking psych in ut st.george.
