How UW's Health Sci programme?

I'm a grade 12 considering applying to UW Health Sci mostly because of proximity and I was wondering how it holds up when compared to the other major unis (because it is moreso a engineering university) Health Sci programmes. I was wondering if co-op in this programme is worth it if I want to do med school or if it is a programme that is a GPA killer?
Looking into the course material, I see that it doesn't have as many hard sciences so I was also what you might need to take on your own with your electives, and what kind of mandatory science electives there are?
Anything else about the programme and your experience would be appreciated. :)

Is the Art/Sci programme worth it if you have specific humanities/sciences in mind?

I was looking through the website and it feels like it's very controlling over what you can and cannot take as courses and it might be high school ignorance but I was wondering if it allows you pursue particular interests instead as it seems like you simply have a broad array of courses that you must take.
I have been debating applying for the Health Sci programme and just doing a minor in Classical Studies but this programme seemed like a good balance. Reading the requirements is making me a little more on the edge about it though, so I was wondering if it is really worth it if you have particular interests and if it has a good balance between the science and art side.

Can someone explain why the multi-player ghost experience occurs?

So I was watching a year old playthrough of the Broken script mod by a Québécois youtuber (zakyphren) and on his last video he invited his friend to join him (the server was previously singleplayer). They are in an ocean and zak gets randomly transported to his base and the black void block is there. He also has the slowfalling effect. He waits for his friend to get back and whenever he opens a chest it remains open. Anyway, when his friend returns he seems not to see him or hear him but he can hit him/place down signs. From the friend's POV we see the zak stuck in the qr code looking hello block, but he can't hear anything.

Is this meant to signify him turning into one of the entities? There is no follow up so I wanted to know if anyone had similar experiences and what happened.

(Additional context he's had contact with multiple entities at this point including Circuit, Null, Integrity, the purple error thing etc and has visited a bunch of dimensions. He also got that qr code that says hello looking block from the clan base and put it in his base before.)
