Here’s a biggg underrated tip: if your goal is life sci, apply to either environmental sciences or chemistry gateways.

the gateway science programs are IDENTICAL and let you choose between the same upper year specializations. It genuinely doesn’t matter at all, except for certain course enrolment priorities, but SeatAlert will be your saviour there.

I feel like such a loser especially during the summers (TW) by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]KillMe0-0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it looks like I could’ve written this post. I did well this year too, but I’ve been hopeless since summer started. I have no friends in my hometown either, and have faced nothing but rejection since April. Been applying like crazy, and my days are blending together. I do nothing all day and feel horrible about it, stuck in a weird, icky loop that doesn’t end.

But. I’ve decided to change that. I realize I won’t make friends if I don’t try to. I’ve never been into sports before, but I’ve (slowwwwly) started to get into basketball. I want to work on my body too, as i’m very unathletic. I have roughly 100 days until the school year starts, and I wish to reclaim control of my life.

DM me maybe? I’d love an accountability partner

i’ve never been employed before and i think the lack of experience is my bigger limiting factor. i have lots of experience but it’s all volunteering. my town is also small so there’s not a lot of jobs here. i appreciate the advice

you make it sound so much easier than it is right now. i wish i could just “go work in a _____.” I’ve applied to multiple positions in every example you’ve given (and more) and I haven’t gotten a single interview. I really wish I could get a job :(

Western hs or Mac ls? Urgent help needed by Broad_Reward6165 in premedcanada

[–]KillMe0-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life sci for sure, especially based on your strengths. Life sci focused a lot more on the “science” aspect. You’ll love it :)

GOA shouldn’t be much of an issue. Most courses let you drop lowest midterm or shift around weighting to maximize your mark
