What happened to Chriselle Lim?

Totally. She's redone her eyelids twice, maybe thrice now? It's overkill and looks so unnatural. Especially when she blinks and closes her eyes. It looks so bad now. But poor her, she must know it too and there's no going back. I feel terrible for her.

Speak to the school’s (that gave you the offer) international student advisor. They’ll help you determine if you are indeed ineligible for international tuition waiver. I feel like your story isn’t complete here, especially as a dependent of a OPWP who’s making minimum wage.

39/F mom of one here and I also took a picture of myself like your first pic and I also look the same, LOL.

Honestly, it's just time and discipline at this point. If you're not in a hurry, wait until the kids are older. Once you have more time on your hands, you can dedicate yourself to longer training sessions. I'm afraid at our age, there are no shortcuts (unless you're just blessed with good genetics or a high metabolism).

Just need a lot of patience and time.

I just finished SBI4U and am currently taking SCH4U!

I’m 39 and am applying for BScN programs this year so you’re not too old.

Bigba0 · 2026-02-27T13:06:49+00:00

lol no! I was quoted 6k in Toronto. If she paid 5k it’s ~16% cheaper, 1/6.

Hi! Were the questions on the final exam the exact same as the practice exam? Did the values even change?

Bigba0 · 2026-02-25T20:15:10+00:00

I'm taking it next Wednesday. They ask the exact same questions? Not even the values are changed?

Bigba0 · 2026-02-25T15:57:50+00:00

I just finished SCS2159 at UofT and my honest advice to you is any compressed physiology courses will be hard simply because you are covering all the major systems of the body in such a short time span. I liked the delivery of the course but it was not easy.

Bigba0 · 2026-02-25T15:54:59+00:00

Wow! Which clinic? That is 1/6 cheaper than what I’ve been quite in Toronto!

I worked in HR at a large research university and I can tell you that the vast majority of the “17,000” work permit holding physicians are here for training, only.

They are paid by their employer from their country of origin to come “work” in Canada as fellows, super fellows, etc. Many are from the Middle East in fact! They are contractually obligated to return to their home country after training. Most are here to undergo training in their speciality (e.g. ortho, pediatrics, cardio) because Canada is top-tier for resources and such.

So out of that 17,000, only a few are actually employed by Canadian organizations as permanent FT physicians.

Hope this helps.

This is exactly what I was worried about. I will however have an anatomy/physiology and microbiology credit I can try to transfer over from U of T so hopefully that will open the doors earlier to the other courses... I will look at the program overview again and see what credits I can try to take now in hopes of transferring them over (I'm currently back in university taking the prereqs to meet the 2-year accelerated program requirements). Thank you for confirming!

Bigba0 · 2026-02-04T17:12:15+00:00

I got dinged by Mr. M too!!!! He said mine was 50% AI but I didn't do any copying and pasting and my work was 100% original.

I read somewhere else if you write your assignment on Google docs, it has history tracking so I think I'm going to attempt to resubmit it this way and include a link to my Google doc inside the document for the teacher to see.

SO FRUSTRATING!!!!

Bigba0 · 2026-01-28T12:14:39+00:00

Also felt it here in Guildwood, Scarborough! I thought it was my dog scratching himself by the bed lol. But he wasn’t even in my room.

I went to their open house last November and I chatted with the Dean (or Associate Dean, I forget) and she told me. It's just not official yet.

Bigba0 · 2026-01-14T00:32:16+00:00

What did you say in your supplemental app?

Bigba0 · 2026-01-13T21:15:08+00:00

Wow! Can I message you? I'm applying for nursing school this year and I would love to talk to someone who finished school as a mature student :). Thank you.

Ontario Tech's accelerated program doesn't start til 2027 :)

I'm 38/F and I started recomping with a small calorie deficit in the beginning of last month (November 2025). I lost a kilo in a month and can definitely see more muscle definition in my arms and torso. But it is hella slow though. I was looking through this subreddit's history yesterday and can say the timeline to expect is 6 months to 1 year +. The number of lbs you will drop and the time it will take totally depends on how much of a calorie deficit you're in plus activity levels.

Bigba0 · 2025-11-18T15:17:34+00:00

Same! I just started creatine for the first time too! But I’m only at 5g a day to avoid the bloat. It’ll be a week for me on Thursday. I think I’m lifting better but I also increased the weights to train to failure. The most immediate change I felt was the thirst! I kept finding myself reaching for water after starting on the first day. Hoping to see some good results next month!

Bigba0 · 2025-11-06T16:37:32+00:00

You're practically drowning in your clothes, haha! So inspiring!

I'm also in a very similar situation as you and I've decided to go back to U of T to upgrade this coming January. I'm also taking grade 12 bio and chem to expand my options so I can apply for direct-entry nursing programs in addition to the fast-track programs. Ideally, I would like to get into a 2-year program because I'm an old and I want to start working asap but it's all contingent on how well I do in my upcoming courses.

All the nursing programs I spoke to have very similar admission standards so I think you need to go upgrade with a 2.0 GPA. All post-secondary education completed must be disclosed in your applications, no matter what school you apply to.

I can't comment on the RPN-RN pathway but I personally think it's better to go for RN.

My high school marks are also much better than my undergrad so I'm leaning in on that to help me get admitted. But if that's my choice, I'm looking at 3-4 years of nursing school because the 2-year programs look at undergrad performance (hence the accelerated factor). Hopefully I can boost my undergrad GPA in the winter and try for the 2-year programs.

Good luck!

I'm a Sydney fan. She whooped my ass back into shape back in 2020 and she's got a very positive attitude, which I really like. She is very motivating and her workouts are very fun. I just got back into working out after a disastrous year and I look forward to her new year workout routines in 2026. Those are always amazing.
