2nd Year Plan Thresholds | Office of the Associate Dean | Life Sciences & Biochemistry

Please note: the Plan Selection Thresholds below do not apply for current Bachelor of Science (Hons.) Life Science and Biochemistry students who entered via our direct-entry route. These thresholds only apply to students who started in General Science.

Direct-entry Life Science and Biochemistry students must still select their plan (Life Sciences or Biochemistry) during the plan selection period, but no GPA threshold is used.
