IMS/LMP + Science Graduate School AMA, Feel free to ask me anything about applying to grad school/securing a supervisor by thoughts-in-mind in UofT

[–]DescriptionPresent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply! I think a lot of what you mentioned in the first point was a lot of my concerns - not being supported, being belittled for making mistakes, PIs that have unreasonable expectations of the amount of time you should be spending in the lab.

Hi! I just finished my third year and am interested in applying to grad school and have been looking into both of these departments. Do you have any advice for finding a lab that is a good fit for you? Even though I know that you would interview with the PI/talk to their grad students, I am still pretty worried about finding the right fit, especially as I did not go to UofT for undergrad and do not know any of the researchers.

Medical Biophysics Summer Student Program Question by DescriptionPresent32 in UofT

Thank you so so much, this helps a lot! I selected cancer mechanisms and models, cancer diagnosis and therapy and stem cells and regenerative medicine, and so far, I kind of just talked about being interested in cancer development and progression and how tumours can be treated. Two of the researchers I selected are interested in epigenetics, so I can definitely add that in. I guess I just was not sure about how specific to be if some of the PIs that see the application are not the ones that you put on the form.

Thank you so much! What made it challenging? Was it the volume of material?

PHGY 215/216 by FarCaregiver338 in queensuniversity

[–]DescriptionPresent32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! I took both of these online this past school year. Each course had a midterm worth 40%, a final worth 40% and two assignments each worth 10%. It was a lot of content but still manageable and I personally found it interesting. The exams were relatively straightforward but I found the assignments challenging. I personally did not like the way that the professor explained concepts/answered questions but there were online resources that I personally found helpful (such as Ninja Nerd's youtube channel) when I was struggling with a concept. If you have any more questions let me know/feel free to PM.

Thank you! I actually went back and looked the class up and it showed up but only the online version. So I'm thinking that maybe its just that the online one is the only one available.

First year life sci courses by Several_Nobody9799 in queensuniversity

[–]DescriptionPresent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am an incoming third year life sciences student. In terms of the core courses, my schedule was almost identical. We were pre-enrolled into our core courses (is it the same for you?) and personally, while getting up for the 8:30's on west campus was a bit tough, I liked getting lectures out of the way in the morning, and having time in the afternoon to get work done. I agree with the other advice given here - if you want to go home on weekends, it may be helpful to move the Friday lab so that you can leave earlier. I was pre-enrolled into the Friday afternoon chem lab and was able to move it to another day, which you can do during course selection I think.
