<\/p>\n Hi Aska! This site has saved me from many, many anxiety attacks. I am going into
\nsecond year and recently re-read my offer of admission. It says Congrats! You
\nare in Humanities and Social Science! Only I just realised that Psychology, my
\nspecialist of choice, is considered Science. Yet I have 80% in PSY100H.<\/p>\n
The real issue: I do not have any high school math after grade 10 college math.
\nApparently calculus is required as of 2006 for admission into any minor, major
\nor specialist PoST in Psychology.<\/p>\n
Questions:<\/p>\n
1) Do I have to go back to high school to get calculus (I don’t mind, I’ll just
\ngo to a semestered night school and bribe a tutor with ridiculous amounts of
\nmoney)?<\/p>\n
2) If not, does U of T have a foundations course that I can take to satisfy the
\nMCB4U high school pre-req? If it’s a review course I can’t take it, I’d fail.<\/p>\n
3) Is begging to waive the high school pre-req an option? I feel confident I
\ncan take statistics (a pre-req for psych) with no math background because I
\nhave access to many tutors and a lot more motivation now than I did in grade
\n10. I just want the specialist in Psych, not admission into med schooL!<\/p>\n
Thanks a million!<\/p>\n

so why is it that highschool calculus isn’t required to take psy100, but it’s a requirement for the subject post? as we all know, it’s because psych is a complex deathtrap. they psych department is absolutely inflexible about the mathlacking. you have options, though: you can take a highschool math course, your ‘spend lots of money on tutors and private school classes’ sounds like a good one. additionally, the math department offers a summer program for students to get the math requirements out of the way. the program is called PUMP (preparing for university math program)<\/a>….should it be P.U.M.P. ? seems like the acronyms don’t have punctuation anymore these days. anyways, PUMP costs 600 dollars and lasts a few weeks in the summer. jump through that last hoop and you’re golden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Aska!
