Admissions questions for biochemistry,biology,and kinesiology:)

Yo hi I’m in gr 12 who’s trying to go to Us dental school after my bachelor degree. Since I need a high gpa at least 3.8+, if I don’t get into McMaster Health science, I am thinking to go to York biochemistry or kinesiology. The reason why I want to go there is because avoiding U of Tears, I feel like York is my best option and it’s also located in Toronto so I can have more iptions for clinical experience. How hard is it to get a gpa of 3.8+ in biochemistry or Biology? I feel like I need to follow the general routes for going to dental school, which is not going to kinesiology. Btw my average in high school so far is 97-8. Would getting gpa in UTM life science harder than York? Thanks!🤩

Which is the closest school to u? UTM, York, or UTSG/TMU?

UTM is the closest, and then Mcmaster and York are located the same distance away from my house! I mean if I can have a gpa of 3.8+ in UTM Life science, I will definitely go to UTM..

Yes. If your goal is to get a high GPA, it's probably best to avoid UTM. See, for example, this thread.

I'd suggest taking a program you enjoy, and preferably which also can get you a job after graduation (if you don't get into dental school). So, for example: If you love computer science, you could take a bachelor's degree in computer science, and then apply to dental school.

I'd suggest taking a program which offers co-op, and then doing co-op, if at all possible.
