Hello frens :3 I hope everyone is staying safe, happy and connected.
Since we're getting closer to the enrollment period, I've decided to make a video about the courses I took in first year as a Life Sciences student at the University of Toronto (St. George campus). As always, feel free to ask me questions and I'll get back to you asap! cheers, kim :)

@anahitachitizadeh2445 2 года назад

Hello, thank you for your informative videos. What are corequisites? How can we still take 5 courses including prequisites, breadth and corequisites? ( double majorin) .And my other question is that which one is better? Speacialist, two majors or one major and two minors?how to understand which one is better for us ?

Hello Kim, I want to apply for a PharmD after my A levels. I am required to take MAT135H1 as one of my prerequisites but I don't know whether I need math A levels to gain admission. By the way what high school educational system (IB, A-Levels, AP, etc) did you do, and what subjects did you do.

@zra8997 3 года назад

Hi May I ask what was the book and resources that were thought for CHEM136, for Life science?

@JewelSparkles01 4 года назад

Hey Kim, your videos have been so helpful to me, especially as an international student! I'll be attending UTSG for Life Sciences and at this point I'm interested in doing the same double major as you. Just wondering - you said you took PSY100 as a prereq but I couldn't find this listed under requirements for the Immunology or Neuroscience majors? Thank you so much!

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hi there, I hope you are doing well! Thanks for supporting my channel, make sure you subscribe and watch other uoft-related videos that are available on my channel! Congrats on your admission to uoft lifesci, I'm sure you'll accomplish great things here! Back then, PSY100 was part of the enrolment requirements for neuro major but I believe they have taken PSY100 out recently. Hope this helps, lmk if you have more questions! best wishes for a successful year at uoft! cheers, kim

Hey Kim! So for the BIO130/120H1 and CHM135/135H1 courses it says that there is a prerequisite of OSSBIOLOGY and I have no idea what this means! It doesn't look like a course. I did IB Biology so I was wondering whether this would be okay for a prerequisite?

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Mankiu, I hope you are doing well! I believe you are fine because some of my friends who did IB in high school had no problem taking 1st year lifesci courses at UTSG! However, feel free to confirm with your college registrar or biology/chemistry undergrad office about using IB bio as prerequisite for those courses. lastly, feel free to check out my latest video regarding "course enrolment", don't miss out on my tips for enrolment! cheers, kim.

Hello, is there a reason you did not take MAT136?

@outofpocket8351 3 года назад

hi! I was wondering if first years are suppose to enroll into both programs and courses for first year at the same time? Like, do we enroll into the programs we want to take before the fall of first year at the same time we are choosing courses or do we enroll into the programs once our first year is finished and we have completed the prerequisite courses? Thanks for the video!

Hey! Love your videos! I was wondering why you didn’t take MAT136H1 and only MAT35H1? I thought they were to be take as a pair just a bio and chem?

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Zainab, thank you for supporting my channel and I'm glad my videos were able to help you. Make sure you subscribe and watch other videos available on my channel, your support means a lot to me :) MAT136 is not an enrolment requirement for my POSts (imm & neuro major). If you need tips on how to choose courses, please watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I-W-GPdSBfY.html. I did a thorough explanation on course selection, breadth requirements, electives. good luck! cheers, kim

@chloeyang6706 4 года назад

Hi Kim. Is picking 5 courses every semester a lot because there’s labs and/or tutorials for each/almost each subject (Bio, Chem and Math) . If that is a norm at UofT, how do people manage this along with electives? I am going to UTM for life sci in September and I feel like just the math chem and bio are so much 😂.

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Chloe, I hope you are doing well! Most lifesci students will enroll 5 courses per semester if they plan on completing their degree in 4 years without taking any summer courses. However, first year can be hard and some people might drop some courses after first few weeks of school because of the workload, stress etc. Developing good study habits (eg. follow study schedule, study smart, attend tut, start assignments/ lab reports early) will put you in a better position than people who doesn't have one! I had to experiment/ change my study technique multiple times in first year, and it took me some time + bad midterms to find what fits me. My best advice to first year students is to stick with it no matter how challenging it is and ask for help early, it will end the way you want it to if you believe in yourself! Good luck Chloe, you got this! 💪

@kimm-ing2666 3 года назад

hi there! academic requirements are slightly different depending on the program you are applying to, but here is an example from uoft (applymd.utoronto.ca/admission-requirements). Good luck!

@quekhanhluong67 3 года назад

When you were choosing and enrolling in courses, did you do it for the whole school year or do we start to enrol in different courses in every semester?

@kimm-ing2666 3 года назад

I enrolled into courses for the whole academic year. Hope this help and good luck!

@mariaissa8627 4 года назад

What courses are considered electives to complete the breadth requirement?

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Maria, Since you are admitted to lifesci, I would consider courses that are not completed as part of your future POSt requirement as electives. eg. you want to major in Biology, any courses that are not part of BIO major completion requirement, I would consider them as electives. Please watch my latest video, I specifically used BIO major as an example in that video to answer your questions.

@ashneetgill1948 3 года назад

Will I still be able to double major in Immunology and Neuroscience if I choose to go to University of Toronto Mississauga?

@kimm-ing2666 3 года назад

Hey there! according to UTM's academic calendar (student.utm.utoronto.ca/calendar/program_list.pl#GH), I believe you can do a Neuroscience specialist but I don't think the immunology program is offered at UTM. I highly recommend you to check with the registrar's office or the lifesci department at UTM to confirm this info as I am not familiar with the lifesci program there. Hope this helps and good luck!

@mariaissa8627 4 года назад

Hello! Just wanted to let you know i am really benefiting from your videos lately i have a question though: I have been admitted to life sciences and i want to major in biology next year and i can’t find the prerequisite courses required. And also should i take prerequisite courses for my minors?

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Maria, I hope you are doing well! I recommend you to watch my previous video about course selection, you should use the planner from degree explorer to help you figure out exactly what courses you need as part of the completion requirement. Since biology major is an open enrollment program, there isn't any "prerequisite course" you need to "enter" the program as long as you have completed 4.0 credits after first year. In the academic calendar (under completion requirement), it says: "First Year (2.0 FCEs): BIO120H1; BIO130H1; ( CHM135H1, CHM136H1)/ CHM151Y1" However, I believe you can take courses above in first year because they need to be "completed" for your programs anyways. Also, these courses are perquisites for many 2nd-year courses you need to take for BIO major. Take a look at this link i got from the academic calendar for biology major! fas.calendar.utoronto.ca/biology-major-science-program-asmaj2364 To answer you 2nd question, regardless of specialist/major/ minor program, you must take courses under enrollment requirement (check academic calendar) in order to enter your intended POSt. To ensure accuracy/ clarity, please consult college registrar and undergrad coordinator from the EEB department for professional academic advising & support. Tysm for your support and I wish you all the best!

hello i am currently a grade 12 student and ive recently applied to uoft life sci at the st george campus. I applied with a grade 11 average of 87 and im aiming for a grade 12 avg of around 88-90 percent. Is this avg competitive for this program? Do i have a good shot at being accepted?

@akashtalkshoops2978 3 года назад

^^^^

@kimm-ing2666 3 года назад

Great question! the admission range is low-mid 80s according to uoft but it doesn't guarantee acceptance. tbh the range changes every year depending on how "competitive" the pool is and i'd encourage others to aim higher than the requirement. good luck!

What is CCR19 - What is the name of this course because I am trying to find a course to satisfy Breadth 1? If by chance it no longer exists, what other courses fall into this category?

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Samantha, I hope you are well! CCR199 is a first year seminar course that falls under BR1. Topics might vary every year and I believe details can be found once the official timetable is released! In my previous video, I did a tutorial on how to find courses from a specific breadth so feel free to check ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I-W-GPdSBfY.html for details As always, if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask and I'll try to get back to you asap! cheers, kim

Is GGR107H1 a hard course because I am trying to focus on BIO 120 and 130, CHM 135, and 136, and MAT135 and 136. As well, I am also taking HPS100H1, and a first-year seminar course too. Since I want to get into a Neuroscience Specialist Program, I have to make sure my marks in the ones I listed above are above 70%

@kimm-ing2666 4 года назад

Hello Samantha, GGR107 is pretty doable and you are at an advantage if you are good at writing essays. However, there are lots of readings to do for this course, 2-3 readings (each paper ~10-20 pages long) were assigned weekly. If you google "ggr107 course syllabus", you will find old syllabus online and use it as a rough reference to determine if this course fits your interest. Good luck!

I wish I could attach a picture to this comment to show you where you can find it, for now please refer to my video "UofT101: how to choose courses" (timestamp -3:05). When you are on "Course search" page, and you will be able to search courses by breadth requirement. another way of checking BR for a course is to click on the course, it will say which BR category that course falls under. good luck!

@kimm-ing2666 3 года назад

Hello Lamiaa, I hope you are doing well! Make sure you check out other videos on my channel! I took both courses awhile ago, so i'm not sure if the syllabus has changed or not. GGR107 (with dr. sarah wakefield) is pretty doable and essay heavy (like any other social sciences/humanities courses). There are lots of readings to do for this course, 2-3 readings (each paper ~10-20 pages long) were assigned weekly. If you google "ggr107 course syllabus", you will find old syllabus online and use it as a rough reference to determine if this course fits your interest. Hope this helps!
