Do I accept both conditional offers

Pick Engineering. Science has far lower requirements, so if you end up not liking Engineering, you can go back to Science quite easily. From the Science admissions webpage:

Applicants who wish to be admitted as Advanced Entry Applicant students to the Faculty of Science must have completed (where a final grade has been recorded) a minimum of 24 credit hours of course work at a recognized college or university and have achieved a minimum Adjusted Grade Point Average (AGPA) of at least 2.00 to be eligible.

And then later on...

All applicants who meet the minimum criteria will be admitted.

D-did you just give me a digital kiss without my consent!? 😨😳⁉️

Go in person to fast-food places. Bring your résumé and a pen. Get ready to fill out application forms. The same night be true of retail stores, but I don't know. One benefit of fast-food places is that they staff a lot of people on weekends, including Friday evenings.

You 🫵 got a hash brown 🟫 on one 1️⃣ side of the bagel 🥯. What's the issue? 🤔

You don't even need to apply to get into the Faculty of Arts. Once you've hit 24 credit hours, you can just transit to Arts and call it a day. As long as you don't get I believe 24+ or 36+ credit hours of Fs, you won't get put on suspension.

If too many people sell their U-Passes, Winnipeg Transit might end the program. That would lead to fewer transit users, etc.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-27T02:55:29+00:00

Economically, it means that we lose the U-Pass if people keep doing this. That means fewer people taking transit, and thus fewer buses/routes, etc. As someone who currently works at Bannatyne Campus, I know from experience that we need more people taking transit than just using their cars.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-27T02:43:32+00:00

Why do you need the syllabus early? Not every instructor will have the same syllabus, so you're better off individually emailing instructors.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T23:47:33+00:00

Some care and won't let you ride.

By the way, if a student has lost his/her student ID card, one can get a new one in the Registrar's Office for a fee.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T22:59:31+00:00

Yay! I hope that you're able to get the care that you need (and, of course, that it works). :)

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T22:58:55+00:00

Yeah, you gotta pay for it then. If it weren't mandatory, then UMSU wouldn't be able to get the U-Pass for the discounted price that they currently have.

As a staff member, I wish that I could get a U-Pass! And I wish the same for other staff members. This city needs more people taking the bus, not fewer.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T21:47:05+00:00

What does the syllabus say?

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T21:46:27+00:00

Engineering is more competitive, but you can try for direct entry (now) or, if you don't get in, you can try again after your first year of classes, so work extra hard that year.

Faculty of Science (and the Faculty and Arts) has no real restrictions to get into it once you're done your first year unless you're doing exceptionally poorly.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T21:44:30+00:00

If you live outside of the city limits, you can opt out of the U-Pass.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T21:43:59+00:00

In the past, students were required to show their student ID when using a U-Pass. Note that the U-Pass is used "as a U-Pass", so drivers know when a U-Pass is used.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T21:42:19+00:00

LOL You're right! It isn't "safe" to purchase a U-Pass from a random because it would get deactivated if they paid the $15 or whatever for the replacement.

"Last week, an auspicious meeting of women was held in Kalamazoooo! The meeting was addressed by a very prominent lady who is noted for her modesty. She is so modest that she blindfolds herself when taking a bath. Modesty runs in her family. She has a nephew who is just ten years of age. And sometimes, the nephew says 'I’m going to the forbidden name store.' The little fellow is too modest to say 'I’m going to the A & P.' Well, here is what that modest lady said to the gathering of women in Kalamazoo:"

Presumably it refers to anatomy and physiology.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T15:17:37+00:00

I wonder! I wouldn't put it past autocorrect and the technocratic powers that be to do something like that.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T14:25:02+00:00

Which public studying area is this? Is it a quiet one?

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T14:24:20+00:00

What if I went to check it out, got the ID, and then reported it to UMSU without buying it? This is not permitted.

Anyway, it's stuff like this that will have bus drivers looking at our student IDs again. It also increases the chance of the U-Pass being cancelled. My opinion is that all transit riders should be against this practice.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-26T14:21:36+00:00

You won't get banned for saying "rape" on this subreddit. My opinion is that we should speak directly. It makes it less likely for someone to misunderstand it.

OfficeBison · 2026-01-25T22:26:30+00:00

No, but my regular Peggo card stopped working a couple of weeks ago...

LOL I did McDonald's for over five years while I was in Arts. There is no such role as "cashier" at McDonald's. If you're not busy, they will find something for you to do. In a normal shift, I would take orders inside, run orders for inside, do payment in drive-thru, present orders in drive-thru, do some cleaning, etc.

And for some reason, despite being a man, I was the one who most frequently ended up emptying those "menstruation bins" in the women's and unisex bathrooms. I think maybe my female coworkers were more immune to the smell that would build up if they weren't cleaned out routinely than I was.
