<p>I am a newly admitted student to Mcgill. Inter-faculty Art and Science. I have some questions on academic and career counseling. And advice and replies will be greatly appreciated.
I am not sure what my academic interest is, so want to explore that at university and then specialize. So:
1. Does Mcgill provide comprehensive advice on course information, job market information associated with a particular major, graduate school requirements and things like advice on whether a student is academically capable of doing well in a particular subject? From the Fiske guide, I read that there is a lot of red tape with academic counseling at Mcgill, also it is difficult to find a knowledgeable counselor there.
2. Is it realistic to explore ones academic interest at university in just one year? (If I am not mistaken, student at Mcgill should declare their major at the end of first year) Also give I am going to 30-37 credits from my A-level studies, does it make it even more unrealistic to find out my academic interest through taking general education course? Especially if I make the assumption first that the academic counseling service at UT is not very good, is it very very very unrealistic?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
