End of first year, on ACORN.
What to watch for
Neuroscience is a Life Sciences program (TSL), not a psychology one — do not apply through Psychology & Health Studies for it. Calculus & Vectors is required by second year if you did not take it in high school, and it is a limited POSt (roughly 2.5 CGPA at the Stage 1 application) where admission is not assured.
The same application also gets you to
Life Sciences (regular and co-op) is the entry point for 4 other majors at U of T (Scarborough). You are not choosing between these at application time.
