  1. Hi spg, thanks for taking the time to response. I`ve just looked into what courses I would need to switch to a double major of biology/psych (double major would be equivalent to a specialist). I will only require one more course to complete the biology major, but since I've only taken 5 psych courses so far, I will need 8 more courses. So going into 4th year, I would take 5 courses each semester to be considered a full time load (1 bio + 8 psych + 1 elective). It would technically mean that I'll finish my double major by the end of my 4th year. However, I'm wondering if i should take an extra 5th year to boost GPA. OR if I should just pursue a new psych degree. Also, since I can pursue a Masters (which is relatively easier than a phd), will getting a high GPA in a masters degree make it more likely to get accepted into a PhD? Or are PhD programs also solely based on undergrad marks? (+ research). I've made a new thread on this. Anybody is appreciated to provide their opinion! Thanks.
  2. I`ve made a new thread about it. If you might have some insightful feedback, please do not hesitate
  3. Hi, I'd like some advice on where to go from here. I'm in a bad situation because I'm currently in a program I'm not interested in. I'm currently 3rd yr bio specialist but i've developed a passion for psych over the years of my undergrad. I'd like to eventually apply to I/O graduate program cGPA= 2.74. (however for my 5 psych courses that I took. One mark was a B, and the others were A/A+s. Do schools look at psych gpa specifically in any case? also note that I'm Canadian). I'm contemplating on doing a double major since all i need is one more bio course to finish the bio major. I will need a couple of more courses to finish the psych major however. So I could work on those next year (4th) and maybe take an extra year to boost gpa. Any opinions on this? What's the best course of action at this point. I need some realistic goals.
