Which 2nd year program: chem bio, biochem, or life sciences?
I find so many different courses interesting so it's hard to decide which electives to take. If I choose chem bio I only have 1 elective but if I choose life sciences, I'll have more. Also between chem bio and biochem, I did worse on both bio courses than both chems, maths and psychs. I found the bio content interesting but the way they tested you, I couldn't get 12s like I did for chem, math ad psych. Will 2nd year bio courses test similarly? Can someone give me more general information about these specific programs and how the courses you took were?

you will barely take any bio in both biochem and chembio. only cellbio, which is easy, and genetics (if you go into biochem). 1-2 more bio courses in undergrad shouldnt be a factor. check the courses needed for both programs in 2nd, 3rd, 4th year. 2nd year is pretty similar for chembio and biochem. there are many topics about this question also. use the search method. i even see a topic on the first page with the same question
