Guest Lactic Folly Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 While reading the admissions info for U of T, I noticed they say applicants in the third year of their program should have three or more courses at the third-year level. Do they mean full courses? Four out of the ten courses I'm currently taking correspond to the year of my program.. how much negatively will it impact my application if I don't meet their guideline? :/ Thanks in advance.

Guest dogeatdog12 Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I think they don't want people taking so many BS courses that their GPA is high because they weren't even challenged. look at your transcript and be honest, I think that the same way they're going to judge.

Guest peachy Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Yeah. I think it's a pretty reasonable criterion too - I found third year courses to be a BIG jump in difficulty and expectations from second year courses. And then fourth year was another big jump. But first and second year courses are pretty much on par.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lactic Folly Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 I do have a smattering of first year courses in second and third year - some were required in the degree program (psychology), others I took because I was truly interested in them (linguistics). Introductory microeconomics and the concepts of opportunity cost and marginal benefit proved useful in understanding health care systems and rationing. These courses may not look as impressive as advanced organic chem on a transcript.. I suppose that will be left to the explanatory power of the personal statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogeatdog12 Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 did you do your undergrad at U of T? if so, what was so hard about the transition to third year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
