dc88 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey all, I was just wondering if it is "frowned upon" for me to switch my major from General Biology to General Science, at the beginning of my third year at UBC? Its not because of academics; I want to switch because I want more freedom to choose my courses in areas that i'm interested in. However, i'm nervous because I don't want this to be seen by the medicine admissions team as a bad thing, or as a "cop-out" into an easier major. Will switching majors affect my chances!? Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc88 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Really!? I was under the impression that it would show up somewhere on my transcript. Won't it!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 02'topaz Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 To the best of my knowledge, nope! Don't quote me on this as I haven't experienced it personally, but I think the only thing appearing on the transcript would be the degree which you graduated with....*goes to look at final official transcript*... Alright so here's what mine says... At the very top there's a "UBC Credentials" section listing the following Bachelor of Science Major XXXXXXXXX Average XX.X% Granted May 17 2007 Then it has a section for transfer credits Then it goes and breaks down each session beginning with the 03/04 winter session for me. The important part comes here I guess and answers your question. All it says is "Bachelor of Science (UBC Vancouver) Year 1" So there you have it, doesn't specify the major within each year, only the degree type and faculty . Again you could confirm this with advising but honestly worst case scenario even if it did say it somewhere (which it won't), they won't discriminate against you! Focus on what your interests are, don't let these things determine what you will study for two more years! Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
