maybe you can exchange environmental science or astronomy for psych 1xx3 if you wanted to keep the life science program option open

Do what you find interesting rather than what's easy. Go through the course reviews and see what material sounds the most engaging to you. I found the two Psychologies to be excessively detailed and time consuming but the material was interesting and therefore engaging.
I didn't do as great in Physics as I'd liked either (grade 12) but quite honestly, Phys 1L03 is a waste of time and just a GPA booster for most - I really would not recommend doing it. It's up to you but I went in thinking it'd be a great refresher course, when it isn't.
A lot of 1B03 is taught from scratch, or was at least to us - the textbook is immensely useful and I would really recommend consulting that or any of your available resources if you need help.

Just a random question, do you have to take HTH SCI 1BS0 and SCIENCE 1A00 if you're taking a science course (bio, chem, etc)?

Probably depending on what course it is you want to take and whether there's a lab component to it, so if the course you want to take doens't have a lab well then then you're probably good to go but here are the admission notes for those two course:
5. SCIENCE 1A00, an on-line, one-hour mandatory Health and Safety course, is a
co-requisite to Level 1 courses with a lab component and must be completed prior to the first lab
HTH SCI 1BSO, a mandatory on-line introduction to bio-safety lab training is a
co-requisite to BIOLOGY 1A03, ISCI 1A24, KINESIOL 1A03 and 1Y03 and must be completed prior to the first lab.

If you like math (particularly series), then keep 1AA3! or you could add math 1B03 instead  Depending on what you go into in second year, 1AA3 could be useful. I haven't taken 1B03 so I can't comment directly on how useful it is, but I've never run into something where I think "this would be so much easier if I'd taken 1B03!" It depends on what courses you take, though.
Keep trying for Kin 1Y03! It was a great course It fills up really quickly though, because it's so popular, so there's no guarantee you'll get in. It's only offered in term 1 because it's the first part of a two-part course--1Y03 is first term and 1YY3, which is the second part, is second term. |
