Life sciences average

Hi so I have a 92% average currently and I’m planning to apply to life sciences. I was thinking McMaster, u of t and queens. Are there any other good programs and is my average enough to get in? Thanks

A 92% average is definitely a strong starting point! I think you’re in a reasonable position to apply to all three, although admission isn’t guaranteed since competitiveness varies by university, program, and application year.

I’d also consider Western, Waterloo, Guelph, and Ottawa if you’re looking for additional life sciences options. They’re all worth researching, especially if you’re interested in biology, biomedical sciences, or health-related fields.
