I believe it's a 6 cumulative GPA. I know you have to have a 6 in both Bio 1M03 and 1A03.

I believe last year it was 7.8, but of course it changes from year to year. Contact Kathy McItosh in the Biology department at [email protected] if you want to find out the specific cut-offs for this year.

No worries! Keep Life Science II and shadow Honours Bio II and transfer into the program after second year. A lot of courses are cross-listed (in common) and so, you can get your average up and transfer into it.

I believe you just ask to be transferred and they'll do it if there's a seat open (I think it's the academic advisers, but it may be the associate dean's office...)
