How does Course Relief work in Yorku?
Hello everyone. I have a big concern in my mind.
Second year biology student here who is currently majoring Biology(Biomedical Science) who want to go to a dental school after graduating.
After performing not well in the science courses (Biology&Chemistry), I started to feel like if this is the right path for me. I got A/A+ on every single course such as electives and gen-ed courses. If you are wondering how bad my science is, I only have 1 A in one second year biology course and the rest of the are all B (1 B+ too). Can't forget to mention I have done horribly in organic chemistry when I took it first so I had to take it again and the grade got way much better.
However, I am scared if this trend will happen again i my third year and fourth year so I was wondering other paths such as pre-law. It looks like law schools in North America look for higher GPAs than dental schools so I feel like I would perform better with higher GPAs in another major if I make up my mind to be a pre-law student.
So I did look what I can do and I read that there is a system called course relief; if a student changes from a major to another major, their previous major courses can be excluded. So if I imply this to my situation, if I switch from biomed to... let's say political science, I can get my science course excluded. It says they won't be erased 100%, saying that RLF sign will remain.
I have no idea what to do. Is course relief worth it to change to pre-law and get my science courses excluded or will north american law schools still look at my science courses?
If anyone knows anything, please give me advice..
FYI:I am aiming dental schools in the US. Same as law school.
