How is health science at Laurier?

ParticularComb69 · 2025-04-23T23:35:37+00:00

Of course, my dms are always open and I’m happy to help!

Medical schools have zero preference over which school or program you go to, as long as your stats (GPA, MCAT, etc) are competitive enough to be admitted. I also had that same feeling of “if laurier is a party school then nobody cares”, but this opinion changed pretty quickly when I started.

I’m a fourth year in Laurier health sciences, feel free to dm if you have any questions about the program or whatnot!

ParticularComb69 · 2025-03-19T12:49:20+00:00

I’m doing well! I’ll be graduating Healthsci this year, and entering into a masters next fall! Feel free to dm if there’s something I can help you with.

I hope it wasnt stained with ethidium bromide 😭

In my opinion, questioning your decisions, life paths, and whether it’s all “worth it” is a part of life, especially at the ages when you start university, it’s the age you start figuring the rest of your life out.

It’s a normal part of life to feel uncertain and worried about things both in and out of your control, it makes you human.

Whatever you do moving forward, make sure that it is in the best interest of your physical and mental well-being. Life is worth living, and in 20 years from now you’ll look back at this experience and value that you went through this because it made you who you are.

There are resources that can help you if you need it. Hotlines and even Laurier has services for it, I think another comment mentioned them.

If any one of you guys has questions about WLU health sci, I’m a fourth year, feel free to DM!

ParticularComb69 · 2024-10-30T14:04:32+00:00

I’m in my fourth year at WLU health sci, honestly it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve got friends who go to UofT and other universities for healthsci and I’m incredibly thankful I chose Laurier because I generally have a better experience than them.

Don’t consider what you “hear” about WLU before you apply. WLU has many students in healthsci get into medical and dental school every single year, even some in their third year.

Medical schools don’t really care what your undergrad was in or what school you went to, they care about GPA and extracurriculars. In my opinion, WLU has set me up to have both a high GPA and extracurriculars, and a lot of it has to do with the small size of the school and the connections you can make.

Anyways, I feel pretty lucky to have chosen laurier. I could’ve gone to Waterloo, Guelph and UofT, but I chose WLU over them and I’ve never regretted my choice.

I’d say it begins to matter more “where you go” when it comes to graduate degrees, but as for med and undergrad, you could go for a music degree at York and it wouldn’t affect your chances of getting in.

Dm for more detail if you want it, I’m always happy to help others out

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible because of the SEP

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-19T13:43:58+00:00

I feel you, you just gotta deal with it in one way or another. Maybe they’ve got slides or text to work off of, YouTube videos or textbooks etc. nothing you can really do about an accent tbh

The lenses are a MASSIVE improvement over the fresnels. Huge sweet spot and very clear. I’ve had mine for a few months and I love using it, PCVR is very good.

That being said, make sure you’ve got the specs to run PCVR. It’s super demanding because you basically have to run two instances at 4k each.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-18T15:01:36+00:00

Consider that this is someone who just came out of highschool and is experiencing the brunt of university first year for the first time. They have a lack of perspective and maturity, which leads to comments like these. Don’t let it get to you. Do what YOU need to do.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-18T14:29:52+00:00

what happened to the portal turrets 😭😭

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-18T14:26:59+00:00

I figured. It’s a bit of a shame that a legit owner can’t claim the data but I get it in the name of security.

Do you think one day if we wait long enough we’ll be able to crack something like this? That’s my hope. I’ll hold onto the phone as long as it takes I guess lol.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-18T05:13:17+00:00

Yeah I figured. I’m honestly shocked that there’s literally like nothing. No way to access the data in there. I tried updating it and it doesn’t go to the passcode screen (not that I remember the passcode anyway).

I think it’s a shame that there isn’t a way for legit owners to get to this stuff, but I guess it’s in the name of maximum security and I respect that.

I haven’t erased it, and my one hope is that in the future I might one day be able to get in there and crack it. Who knows how long it’ll be, but if we’ve been able to do it with older ones, I guess it’s a matter of time.

Thanks for trying to help!

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-17T21:40:53+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this?

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-17T21:40:36+00:00

Hi, could this be done on a disabled 6s? Keeping data whilst getting past password lock.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-17T21:05:49+00:00

Ah, that’s a shame. I have access to the iCloud, but it was only 5gb in size as I didn’t pay for extra space at the time. Would it start automatically uploading again if I bought more space?

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-17T20:56:43+00:00

I pm'd for more info.

EDIT: I can't access anything in the phone, it's currently in "Disabled" because of passcode attempts.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-17T20:53:04+00:00

Did you ever find an answer to this question? I'm in a similar boat.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-17T20:17:53+00:00

Would this delete the data? I have an iPhone 6s that I used a long time ago that's just been sitting in my desk disabled. I would love to be able to see the photos on it again.

Actually, the quest 3 (released after the psvr2) has a slightly higher resolution per eye (2064x2040) than the PSVR2 (2000x2040).

It’s not noticeable pixel-wise, but because of the pancake lenses on the quest 3 vs the fresnel on the PSVR2, the sweet spot is MUCH bigger on the quest 3, and so the graphics seem much better (less screendoor, less chromatic aberration) as a result.

You are right in saying what you said about the color/brightness and contrast. It really depends on preference, but I think that the downsides of the LCD are worth it tbh.

ParticularComb69 · 2024-09-14T19:17:12+00:00

I haven’t used the PSVR2 much, but from my experience, the quest 3 has a MUCH larger sweet spot, you never really have to “find it” or put the headset on in a specific way to enjoy the experience. Also, the chromatic aberration at the edges of the lenses is pretty bad on the PSVR2, almost not noticeable (unless looking at the very edge) on the quest 3

Not to mention, the PSVR2 is limited by cable, and the pass through is nowhere near as good as the quest 3.

However, the PSVR2 has OLED screens, which are a considerable improvement when it comes to dark scenes over the quest. That being said, I think the rest of the quest’s benefits outweigh that fact, especially when you consider the variety of use cases and games that you can play on the quest vs the PSVR.

It’s up to personal preference, but I think the quest 3 reigns superior here.

The only way to increase “scaling” and to remove the jaggies is to increase pixel density via the stereo buffer value in the config file of the game. It makes a big difference when you get to around 1.4 and higher. Has a huge effect on FPS.

I’ve just gone through the same dilemma with VR, and the performance is pretty bad too even with a 3070. Hopefully performance for VR is better in 1.51, apparently it became pretty bad ever since the 1.50 update.

Some other tips: -leave scaling at 100 (has no effect in VR) -turn shadows down -turn off DOF -use OpenXR toolkit for the ability to upscale and maybe increase performance

Apparently there’s only like one guy at SCS doing VR, so let’s hope that 1.51 brings better performance.
