How I get involved: This is my 2nd year as a Science Ambassador! On campus, I love attending many club events run by clubs BMSA and UW-Premed. I often participate in the Conversation Partner Program run by Renison College (a great way to connect with people from other cultures!). I have also worked as a TA a few times and got to TA BIOL 130L and currently BIOL 240L!
Why I love my program
The Biomedical Sciences program is incredibly flexible allowing you to mold it to what you plan on doing after undergrad. This program effectively prepares you for the tests you need for professional schools by requiring courses that cover all basic concepts needed, but it can also be changed if your plans are dentistry, optometry, and so much more! In this program, you'll meet pre-meds, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, and other kinds of people preparing for all kinds of careers. The Biomedical Sciences program also gives you a lot of opportunities to study interests that have nothing to do with science by giving you electives every term from first year! With all these electives, there is a lot of freedom to take classes for fun instead of for your degree! Although it is a pretty rigorous program for the first 2 years, it feels very rewarding when you push through.
Why University of Waterloo?
Waterloo has great science programs and opportunities for science students to get involved and grow their network & skillset!
