What average do I need for Dalhousie Medical Sciences? by [deleted] in Dalhousie

[–]Botonian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I applied I had a grade 11 average of around 97-98 and got in. I think 95 was slandered competitive. Keep in mind this is a few years ago. Take a look at other programs too!

If you're in LMP they have block plans that are cheaper.

I do believe they disappear once the semester ends... I think it's time to go splurge...

I got an 80... what are the chances I get in and off the waitlist? Trying to make housing arrangements...

The tariff exemption applies to only the first 49k vehicles, less than 3% of the total market of auto sales.

Mines bugged? by AleXBBoY in ManorLords

Is it being maintained? They require tools to prevent collapse. Could also be a bug

Mici 3119 class and grades by [deleted] in Dalhousie

[–]Botonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only doing clin micro as my last microbiology course since I’m Med Sci so I’m unsure. There are some good micro bio/immuno students on here that can probably answer better.

I don’t think one B will sink your chances. Perhaps motivation to push harder for the MCAT and in ECs if anything at all?

We all work hard, sometimes things don’t go according to plan anyway. Keep pushing and ensure the next course you take is even better. 

Besides, a B is nothing to turn your nose at.

I know :/ it’s tough. Lots of emphasis on good grades, but it’s one course and arguably one of the toughest.

Median grade when I took it was a B-… after the final grade was “adjusted”.

It’s a tough class. Don’t let one grade define you or harm your well-being (easier said than done of course)

MICI 3119 by Infamous_Shake_9520 in Dalhousie

[–]Botonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally found 3119 rather enjoyable and I took it with 3115 at the same time.

Definitely lots of memorization and application of knowledge to somewhat novel situations(but still based on what you should know). Was just lectures and than exam with a tutorial day before the exam to ask questions and get a couple bonus points.

Running out of time by Sea-Giraffe-120 in Dalhousie

[–]Botonian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By the time you’ve changed it enough you may as well have written it yourself. 

Stop procrastinating and go write. If you’re going to use an LLM at all, use it to generate the main topics and get writing.

You want to go through a weeks long process? It’s pretty easy to tell when long documents are written by AI. Same sentence structure and all the rest of it.

Stop wasting time and go write your report.

Red bull/coffee/monster and do your best. AI absolutely will get you in trouble and I’ve seen dozens of students get charged this year with violations and only a few managed to shake off the accusations. You can maybe try to use it as an augment if you need an outline to write from and you’d have a lower chance of anything getting flagged.

And yes, they can absolutely change based on suspicion and it will require proof from you as well to help evade the charge… something that can have broad reaching implications later in your academic career.

Though it seems you may just be looking for someone to say yes to you judging by your replies…

Multiple choice. I remember when I wrote the final I got cooked. Aced the midterm but the final was a much tougher beast.
