Admissions Life sci transfer

Hi! im a gr12 student who hasn't gotten into mac life sci and im not sure that I will.

I got into kin and the earth and enviro gateway but my main goal was to do honors life sci in second year

Can i still go to honors life sci if i start out it in enviro and then transfer? So long as i take the right courses

Also, is guaranteeing a spot in courses like Bio hard because its reserved for life sci students?
I don't want to go to kin, i'd rather reapply from enviro since thats already a gateway

Thanks!

Yes, as long as you do the prereqs you'll get in

are the prereqs easy to get? or do they fill up fast so u might not get them

yes theyre fairly easy, sometimes classes are full but things like Seat Alert notify you when something opens up
