I am a first-year student and I am planning to major in psychology. But I only scored exactly 75% which is the minimum requirement. Is it possible to get the major or I really should seriously consider other things to major in? But psychology is really my first choice..<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
well now, look what we have here. another PSYCHOLOGY QUESTION. amigo, i have answered quite a few questions related to psychology, and let me tell you: you have a better chance than you think.<\/p>\n
there’ve been people hoping to get in who don’t have the calculus prerequisite, or didn’t do psy100h1 at all…yeah<\/a>…so believe me when i say that you’re not in a bad position.<\/p>\n assuming you are doing at least 4.0 FCEs in your first year and you did Grade 12 Calculus, you have actually met the minimum requirements<\/a>\u00a0for the POSt. the number of people who apply every year differs, so i can’t say for sure, like, “you have a 33% chance of getting in,” but i’d say if you’re eligible, it’s worth a shot<\/a>. you’ve got nothing to lose.<\/p>\n should you prepare a backup? sure. apply to the minor too (it’s just 4.0 FCE required courses versus 7.0 in the major), or apply to neuroscience or basket-weaving or whatever else tickles your fancy. explore your options<\/a>.<\/p>\n be sensible and always have a Plan B, but don’t give up hope<\/a> completely. save that for when you graduate (whoops i let my pessimism show there, sorry. *covers it up hastily with my skirt*).<\/p>\n best,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n
