Neuroscience at Guelph
Not directly. At University of Guelph you apply to Bachelor of Science (BSc) Honours (GZ), then choose neuroscience on the OUAC application itself. Guelph's Honours BSc majors all share code GZ, and you name your major when you apply. First year is common across the majors, so Guelph says switching afterwards is straightforward.
The program you actually apply to

When you choose neuroscience
On the OUAC application itself. Guelph's Honours BSc majors all share code GZ, and you name your major when you apply. First year is common across the majors, so Guelph says switching afterwards is straightforward.
What to watch for
Neuroscience is a BSc major under GZ, but it is one of the exceptions to the 80-85% range: Guelph publishes 81-86% for it. Guelph's Honours BSc is one OUAC code (GZ) covering 27 majors, published at 80-85% for all of them except Neuroscience (81-86%) and Animal Biology and Bio-Medical Science (85-91%, and those two have their own codes, GZA and GZB). You choose the major on the application, not after first year.
The same application also gets you to
Zoology (BSc) is the entry point for 7 other majors at Guelph. You are not choosing between these at application time.
