Hey aska, I like your snark and style of response. Hopefully, you’ll find a
\nsuitable one for my question – Okay, I’m in Gr 12 (can’t wait to get out of
\nhere) & I recently applied to the Humanities (English) program @ UTSG. However, my real love lies with psychology & the only reason I didn’t choose that was b\/c of it’s Calculus requirement. Despite the fact that I actually achieved a 90 avg for 1st semester in which I took Advanced Functions, it was the heaviest amount of stress I’d ever come under. I just don’t want to go through with that again – plus I only got 80 in AdvFunc after so much work, so I decided Calc would just be a nightmare. I also want to keep my avg above 90 for this new semester & that would be extremely difficult with Calc.<\/font><\/span><\/em>Apologies for the background info but I just had to get it out. My real question is – say I get accepted for Humanities & then decide I still wanna major in Psych (Science) 2nd year on, could I get the Calc credit @ summer school after completing high school this year? Would they look down on a summer school credit even though it is an entirely new credit & NOT a make-up course? Focusing on 1 course in the summer would help me achieve a really high mark in
\nit so I could use that later on to say, oh yeah, I DO have the Calc req,
\nsucker?<\/font><\/span><\/em>(Yes I read the other question re: the same issue with psych & calculus but needed to know about this specifically)?<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes you can do that, and no, there?s no stigma for changing your mind.? <\/span>Summer school is no different from ?regular? school ? it just means the course is more concentrated and you put more focus on it.? <\/span>Not like dumb-dumb catch up classes in high school!? <\/span>The only thing that suffers is your bank account.? <\/span>And, you could do a **DoUbLe MaJoR**<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I like you.? <\/span>You?re an avid reader.? <\/span>Keep on sparkling, kitten.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
