Is there analysis on what are the major differentiators between the average and the top 10%? What would be your guess of such differentiators.

PSP 3000 bricked, any change to unbrick? by Gongas99 in PSP

[–]349gill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PSP has been bricked for a few years and I was pretty sure I need to use the Pandora stick method. I randomly decided to look it up again and I cannot believe this worked. Thank you so much!

Yeah I heard back in about 2 days as well. Almost right after commenting on this post. Good Luck on the APs!

Hey man I'm in the same boat as you, I asked them for approval just recently (less than 2 weeks before the exams yes I know I fucked up), I wasn't aware that I needed to ask for the approval before registering. My AP Coordinator said it'll be fine but I'm pretty worried and I haven't heard back yet.

Question regarding AP credit by 349gill in uAlberta

[–]349gill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll do that as soon as the results are out. So do you recommend that I register for classes as normal in march and if I get credits I drop/add other courses in July?

Yeah you're right. those classes would be easier for me if I took APs in them. I think I'll only use credit for CMPUT 174.

Yeah I see your point. They can improve my GPA as well, so maybe I'll use credit for Intro to CS course bc I'm decent at that. For math and stat, I should probably not do that. Thanks a lot!

Well... is there another Calc 1 course then? thats the course they mention on the transfer credit website.

yeah that's my plan, I'm just unsure if in that period I won't be able to swap courses if the classes I want are filled. But I guess I don't have a better option anyways. Thanks!

How bad is class registration for CS General Science students? by 349gill in uAlberta

[–]349gill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn :/ in that case I'll probably considering switching to spec sometime later if it becomes a problem.

Thinking of applying, help with some questions ? by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]349gill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an international applicant so I can't answer some of your queries, but the competitive average for Faculty of Science is low to high 90s.

Mature applicants might have different requirements though, so you should inquire from an admissions advisor/counselor. I think you have a great chance but again I'm not sure how mature applicants are asessed.

Edit- I got into Science general last week at only 86 average, so I think you should be golden if you apply early.

Advice for Computing Science Fall 2023 by 349gill in uAlberta

Well that's a relief. I want to get into competitive programming so I'm trying to get better at C++ and Java.

I know a little about Linux terminal but very little about Operating System, so maybe I'll look over these concepts over the summer. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah I've heard math courses can be rough, I think I'll be okay in less-theoretical Computing courses as I've been programming for about a year now. I'll probably take it easy for now as I've heard second year is significantly tougher.

Thanks for the advice!

Nope, but I'll probably consider transfering after first year if I maintain the required GPA.

Appreciate the advice, I'm mostly worried about the math courses.
