Well, I live in Quebec and for those who do not know the system I will provide you a little description:
In Quebec, we graduate with an equivalency of an 11th grade. After 11th grade, you must earn a CEGEP degree (2 years is the usual length) which is kind of the equivalent of a postgraduate degree, before pursuing to undergraduate. Now there are alternatives to that, but it is unnecessary to explain, for my question.
Leading on, Ottawa's university offers a chance for people in Quebec to go from their 11th grade to undergraduate. You must have an average of 85% in a variety of classes that relate to the course you are applying. Then again, they state that you may not be accepted even with those requirements. Although this seems quite interesting, especially since I have an average of 92% in most classes or higher, I wonder if this is a good idea. They ask us, for people applying in physics, to take an additional class for an introduction to calculus and vectors. Even if I can study during summer as well, I do not know if it is realistic to do the course.
What are your thoughts? Is this a good opportunity or it is going to be way too much work? This is going to be the program:
MAT1320 Calculus I
MAT1322 Calculus II
MAT1341 Introduction to Linear Algebra
PHY1121 Fundamentals of Physics I
PHY1122 Fundamentals of Physics II
MAT2141 Linear Algebra I
MAT2322 Calculus III for Engineers
MAT2324 Ordinary Differential Equations and the Laplace Transform
or
MAT2384 Ordinary Differential Equations and Numerical Methods
PHY2311 Waves and Optics
PHY2323 Electricity and Magnetism
PHY2333 Mechanics
PHY2361 Modern Physics
PHY2904 Travaux pratiques en physique / Practical Physics
PHY3350 Thermodynamics
PHY3902 Laboratoire de physique et de physique appliquée I / Physics and Applied Physics Laboratory I
PHY3320 Electromagnetic Theory
PHY3341 Theoretical Physics
PHY3355 Statistical Thermodynamics
PHY3370 Introductory Quantum Mechanics
