r/UTM

Hi there,

I’m an incoming freshman, im admitted to york right now and recently got into UTM and im wondering if i should go. I dont mind the drive there, i’m just wondering academics wise whats the best option. my end goal is med school. Yes i know UTM is objectively harder, I’m more concerned with quality of life, how is social life, are profs nice, is campus nice, do you enjoy your experience there? This is for Psych. How hard is it to transfer to UTSG later? I didnt take calculus in Grade 12, but when I do this year am I able to apply for transfer to programs that have calculus as a grade 12 prereq? Please share any helpful advice! I am all for the rigor and the effort, but is it worth changing all my logistics right now?

Would it be doable if my second year was just both six courses per semester but 2/6 of my classes were my electives or would I want to just cry and pray that I go peacefully in my sleep 😁

(Ones also a full year course so)

Am I able to CR my summer course, PHL245, and have it count toward the PHL350 prerequisites to fulfill my philosophy of science minor?

I do not require PHL245 for my minor and understand CRing it won't count, but may I use a CRed PHL245 to fulfill the prerequisite toward PHL350 (requires PHL245 and 1.5 additional PHL credits) as PHL350 (upcoming fall/winter course) is a part of my minor.

Any help is appreciated, so thank you in advance. I tried contacting the philosophy undergrad advisor but they are away from office and won't respond until August 18, and the last day to CR/NCR is tomorrow August 18.
