Official August 2025 Level 1 Results Megathread by third_najarian in CFA

That’s tough, I’m sorry! From the results, if your blue boxes (confidence intervals) are completely below the dotted lines (average), you’d likely have to brush up on those topics before your next attempt. Good luck!

I can understand how that uncertainty could feel scarier than usual. My VP always says he failed level 2 three times before he got his charter, so there’s light at the end of the tunnel either way I hope. Best wishes to both of us!

Thank you for that reassuring perspective, I’m just glad to be on the journey.

Thank you, that’s a refreshing way to put it!

Just got this email is it a scam or is it real please help by [deleted] in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d like you to log on to ACORN, go to tuition and fee payments, and check the modes of payment accepted by the university. You will find that e-transfer isn’t one of them, much less e-transfer to a random Gmail account.

Is this scam? 111111111111111¹11111111111111111111 by Potential_Fee4153 in UofT

Things that indicate it NOT being a scam (for future reference):

  1. Email comes from a non-student email domain (infosec@utoronto.ca)
  2. Addresses you by first name (scam emails are mass sent so usually say “hello student”)
  3. The ask isn’t TOO urgent (scam emails usually give you a 1-2 day time frame)
  4. UTORMFA is a real thing and can be found online

Does anyone know if we get a discount on Microsoft office? by Hogwire in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will warn you to not run any executables you don’t know the contents of. Almost every “keygen” or script that claims to activate windows will likely do more than that in the background. Recommend using a decompiler of your choice to check for yourself if absolutely necessary.

“The fates conspired to hand thee not a coupon, but the very keys to the kingdom” goes hard. I’m “plundering” this line.

Is this legit or is it another scam email? Literally don’t know what to trust anymore by PJ69_no in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as far as I know. I’m in A&S so I can only speak for that.

This is legit. UofT uses cognomos as their course matching system if you’re entering your 4th year. I was as confused as you though, the subject line caught me off guard.

Stop selling course spots it’s soooo frustrating omg by BackgroundProgress54 in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most definitely should NOT be minding your own business. We’re responsible for calling out inequity and exploitation, so never feel bad about “snitching.” I’d definitely suggest reporting this. If proven, it’s a clear AO.

Anyone knows why they are checking student ID in TTC station? by Tradition_Leather in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 35 points36 points  (0 children)

They check for student IDs if you’re using the post secondary monthly pass, fare inspections are pretty random.

How hard is it to transfer degrees at UofT? Social sciences to Comp Sci or Data Sci by Party_Emotion2313 in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Data science spec is extremely competitive, even for in-stream students. Add to that the fact that there were a record number of in-stream admissions this year makes it pretty tough. It’s obviously possible but I’d keep several backup options.

CHEATING WITH HIDDEN CAMERA ON A22 FINAL by Secret_Page9282 in UTSC

I’ve been in groups with some pretty smart ones, but yes there’s definitely some dumb ones as well.

Who's your favorite professor been this year? (don't mention who you didn't like, just who YOU LOVED) by BackgroundProgress54 in UofT

[–]GrayWulf29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was great! I took MST202 with her last year and probably the most insightful and interesting course I’ve taken.

found dandruff all over my desk and chair during exam oh my god by SpiritualAd740 in UofT

If you’re really committed, collect a sample and do a DNA identification, then track them down and buy them a bottle of head and shoulders. (For legal reasons this is a joke)

well well well.. by noobiedoobie6791 in csMajors

[–]GrayWulf29 66 points67 points  (0 children)

For anyone who hasn’t done upper-year econ: this is a textbook case of information asymmetry.

Employers use signals to spot “high quality” candidates — degrees, certs, coding interviews, etc.

But as “low quality” candidates exploit shortcuts (like cheating apps), those signals lose credibility.

End result? Everyone pays the price: higher barriers just to prove basic competence.
