<p>I got into Faculty of Science as well as the Interfaculty of arts and science. I'm very interested in the interfaculty because I like to open up my options for the future, though I think my main focus is still in the pre-med direction, though I do find arts courses very interesting. Any recommendations/thoughts about the interfaculty? I heard med schools like students with lots of liberal arts courses in undergrad, so would this be a wise decision? Plus, I read interfaculty was the most selective, which makes it look special to say the least.</p>
<p>I have also heard that the interfaculty is most selective, but that is something that won’t be known, or important to, any med or graduate schools. I don’t think it should be part of your decision process.</p>
<p>Take a look at this page on McGill’s website [Faculty</a> of Arts | Undergraduate Admissions - McGill University](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/choosing-your-program/faculty-arts]Faculty”>http://www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/choosing-your-program/faculty-arts)
and scroll down to the paragraph about the Bachelor of Arts & Science – you’ll see it says “Note that students who intend to pursue graduate studies in science or to attend medical school may have to complete additional courses as electives or beyond the basic degree requirements.”</p>
<p>Also, if you research a bit on McGill’s website regarding both the Arts Faculty and the Science Faculty, you’ll note that each have a minor in the other faculty, which would permit you to take classes in both faculties, with some limitations obviously.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. What then, would be the advantage of the interfaculty?</p>
<p>Does this help?
About the Bachelor’s of Arts and Science:
“The B.A. & Sc. is an interdisciplinary degree intended for students who want to pursue simultaneously a program offered by Arts and one offered by Science. The B.A. & Sc. is intended for students with well-defined interdisciplinary interests, and is not meant as a “compromise” between a B.A. and a B.Sc. degree. If you are more interested in Arts, but would like to study some Science, you can do so within the B.A. degree. Similarly, if you are more interested in Science, but would like to study some Arts, you can do so within the B.Sc. degree.”</p>
