Where did you get your BA? A university in Toronto?

Thanks for the response, everyone! Grad school is definitely an option but it's just that the statistics courses really scare me..I'm not strong in maths. I'm hoping that'll change once I go to uni and put an effort in each and every one of my courses, moreso than I'm doing now in high school. And it is hard to get a job with a BA in psyc, but the Waterloo program is Arts and Business with co-op, so it wont only be psychology, it'll be psychology and business. I was thinking of doing my coop placements in a company where I can see if I like working in human resources. I'm just really confused as to which program and which university to go to. YORK university is also an option, but I just really dislike their reputation!

The second university (with Bsc in psychology) is indeed University of Toronto. The thing is, I'm not very 'strong' in the sciences ... I was thinking if i go to university, I would try a lot harder to do well, but I'm not sure if that will play out well. The first university with coop is Waterloo, which is a good university too, and their coop program is really good. I know UofT would be better for me if I'm going to grad school, but I'm not sure about that at all yet, which is why I'm so confused. which one of these programs do you think will get me a job straight out of university? Not a low-paying job.. but a good one.

Coop is a great experience and it will help me decide if I want to go to grad school, or if I should go straight into human resources, because honestly, I'm not even sure right now. I'm just scared of making the wrong mistake of getting a BA (but then again it's a BA with business, and coop)

Hi, I'm a high school student and I'm stuck between getting a BA and a BSc. in psychology. University #1) Psychology and business with COOP (Get an arts degree) [i'd have to move 1 and a half hours away for this university, but they're giving me a big scholarship] or University #2) Psychology (Bachelor of science). My plan is to get into grad school for clinical psychology, but if that doesn't work out (because of how competitive it is!) then my "backup plan" is going straight into human resources (working in the business field). Either is an option and I'd be happy with both. This is why Im confused - should I go into psychology and business with coop, so that i can get coop placements for both business (HR) and psychology? But then I'd be left with an arts degree and everyone tells me how "bad" that is. Or should I go straight into psychology and get a science degree? I don't know exactly how well i'd do. I just don't wanna regret any of these decisions. I don't want to miss the coop option, but that university is 2 hours from where I'd live so I'd have to move...and I don't want to waste money or make a mistake. What do you think I should do?
