Hey, I’m a Grade 12 student from Alberta and I got into UTSC Life Sciences co-op.

I’m trying to decide between my OUAC offers soon, and I wanted to ask people actually at UTSC what the program is like. My long-term goal is med, but I know GPA/ECs matter more than the school name.

How is Life Sci at UTSC in terms of workload, GPA, co-op, profs, research/opportunities, and overall student life? Would you choose it again, or would you recommend going somewhere else?

Any honest advice would be appreciated.

I’m a grade 12 student from Alberta and I need to decide between my OUAC offers because some of them expire May 1.

My goal is med school, either in Canada or maybe internationally later. I know there’s no perfect “premed” program, but I’m honestly not sure what to choose since there are a lot of factors at play, and I wanted to hear from people who know these schools/programs better.

My offers rn are:

- UTSC Life Sci co-op

- Western Science, common first year

- uOttawa Biomedical Science

- Laurier Health Sci, Waterloo campus

- Laurier Applied Health Sci, Brantford campus

- Guelph Biological Science, co-op available

- York Biomedical Science

I currently accepted uOttawa because it was my first offer. I’m also waitlisted for Western Health Sci and Med Sci, but obviously that’s not guaranteed and I have no idea when I’d hear back.

I’d appreciate any honest thoughts on the programs, what the experience is like, and what you would do in my position.
