Part 3 Quantitative and Analytical Skills Requirement All applicants to this program must demonstrate their competence in quantitative and analytical skills in one of the following ways: a minimum grade of 60% or C in a senior level math course or pre calculus a minimum score of 3 in IB HL or SL mathematics, or IB SL math studies a minimum D grade in GCE A or AS Level math, or a minimum C- grade in O level math a grade of C- or better in a 3-unit math or certified quantitative course that transfers to SFU O The MBB honours program provides a foundation in the life sciences from a biochemical, cellular, and molecular perspective. Flexibility in the course selections allows students to make the program to their own interests as well as meet the entry requirements for medical school and other professional and graduate programs. This honours program provides a breathtaking experience for students wanting to go on to graduate programs. Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements O Students admitted to Simon Fraser University beginning in the fall, term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as a part of there degree program
Conclusion O After reviewing the career and researching it more thoroughly, it takes a lot of determination and patience to do this career and program. I would be fine whether I did this job or not, because I love learning especially if it involves two favorites of mine, science and venturing. It requires a lot of skills and knowing that I don’t have all of them I hopefully will try to gain and develop on the ones I do not have. I am defiantly willing to put myself through all that work so I that I am able to become successful in life. Completing this program would open up a list of opportunities, so at the end I'm fine with doing this course and career.
