I figure I don’t want anyone else to have the same problems that I had to face applying to McGill.

First my situation: I am fairly unsure with what I want to do with my life, what I want to concentrate my studies on, careers, etc. I do know I like things like French and Music, etc etc. I figured I would apply to the faculty of arts & sciences because its neither arts nor sciences, it’s both! so I’d have the widest scope of options.

this isn’t exactly the case. BASc freshman requirements are very science and math orientated, and I was NOT about to do that. I tried diligently to switch to arts, but they wouldnt let me.

But Don’t worry! for some reason, it’s very relaxed what classes you can take. Right now I’m taking 5 arts electives to scope out the different subjects. I spoke with a few people who said that even though I’m BASc, it would be fine to just take WHATEVER I WANT (yessss). Don’t expect to get any help from email. I was lucky and had a good advisor, so i got some responses, but it’s basically worthless. Just hope for the best.

Cheers
