<p>I remember reading somewhere that McGill was good for undergraduate Physics. </p>
<p>I was wondering though, is McGill good for other life sciences such as Biochemistry?
Is UBC or UofT stronger for UNDERGRADUATE life sciences Biochem program than McGill?</p>
<p>At the undergraduate level, I don’t think it makes much of a difference. You’ll get a solid education in any of those universities. The question is which one is more suited for you in other aspects.</p>
<p>If you’re good enough, all three will have abundant opportunities for you to explore. And yes McGill Physics is really good. I’m taking an honours physics course with some physics students; I can tell you, they’re geniuses. Anyway, the Math dept. is horrible though…</p>
<p>Is the math department really horrible? My son want to apply for math!</p>
<p>The math department is far from horrible (it produced 2 Rhodes scholars while I was there, and I can list out where some of my classmates ended up in grad school: Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Chicago, Oxford (aside from aforementioned Rhodes scholars), Berkeley, etc…). However, there’s not a lot of applied math if that’s particularly what your son is looking for. At the undergraduate level though, it doesn’t really matter as the most important thing is to get a rigorous theoretical training.</p>
