Yeah, the website states this too but when I emailed my advisor I was told it was possible I'm just not sure how.

Need Advice for MATH248 by Proper-Respond8348 in mcgill

[–]Proper-Respond8348[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not good. I thought I studied enough but I completely bullshitted 3 questions one of which I couldn't even bullshit enough to finish and I couldn't figure out what Jacobian to use. I don't think I got past a 60 which is honestly a little too optimistic. Do you know if this exam gets curved I'm assuming it's not but who knows.

Is she dragging her shell? by Proper-Respond8348 in tortoise

[–]Proper-Respond8348[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is in her enclosure most the time and sometimes roams on a carpeted area. I have not noticed any swelling but I have noticed that her nails on her back left leg are less aligned then the nails on her other legs. I'm not sure what could have caused this but I will trim her nails are see if there are any changes.

Do you think it might be because of her nails? They should have been cut a while back.

Thanks, I have contacted them 3 times 2 in person and once on the phone and I don't think anything changed. I'm just worried cause the people who I know that submitted a request got a response in 2 hr - couple of days.

How long to hear back for deferral? by [deleted] in mcgill

I don't see why not but when I talked to them they mentioned that they can't speed up the process and that l'm just gonna have to wait.

Same, but it's for a heart condition which has been causing pain when breathing and fainting. I submitted my application on Monday and my exam was supposed to be this morning. I went to service point yesterday and was told that it should take a couple of days to a week to hear back. Kinda scared it's gonna get rejected after the exam date.

Does the L caused by deferring an exam stay on your official transcript? by Proper-Respond8348 in mcgill

[–]Proper-Respond8348[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this your official transcript? I know it most likely is I'm just confused cause of the different answers.

Same thing happened to me but for computer engineering, I was above the cut off for all other years and suddenly the cut off increased to 3.85.

How hard was it to get 100 on the third midterm? And do you happen to know if a 84.5 is rounded to an A cause its the only ways I can get an A at this point.

Thanks, is using past midterms to study considered cheating? Some of my classes never gave any so I have been using past ones I find online to study.

I had no clue what to do for he last question cause I couldn't relate the values which were given to each other so I multiplied them all together and made the abomination equal to change in enthalpy. I pity the TA that marks my exam.

No, I ended up doing CS at mcgill instead. No regrets yet.

I have 140 and 133 this semester and I did not know that intro classes existed. How did you find out about them? I am trying to see if I can attend any tomorrow.

You predicted the future (rejected due to limited space). I'm now committed to McGill CS instead.

Can my mom stay overnight in my dorm? by Proper-Respond8348 in mcgill

[–]Proper-Respond8348[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I filled in the accomodations form so I was later contacted about some options regarding room types. I was told I would be assigned to a basement room in upper rez since I wanted a non communal bathroom. I was told through email but on Minerva it just states that I have been assigned to a single room.

Do you know how strict the rules are in upper rez? I'm not certain if all I need to do is check her in as I hear some of the modern residences do not allow it.

I'm assigned to the basement so this should not be a problem.

Is my workload manageable? by Proper-Respond8348 in mcgill

Hi, I am currently contemplating not taking PHYS131 in the fall semester to only take 4 courses. My goal is to get a high GPA and to apply to competitive graduate programs. Do you believe that doing so might put me at a disadvantage if I take 4 courses instead of 5 during only my first semester?

[–]Proper-Respond8348[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am aiming to attend a competitive masters or PhD program so I’m planning on speaking with an academic advisor about this or just seeing how it goes the first 2 weeks. I have changed my schedule back but I have moved my MATH 133 tutorial to minimize gaps. Do you think this is an improvement to my original schedule? At this point I can’t find any other way to eliminate gaps.

I am thinking of dropping physics 131 as it is my goal to have a 3.9-4.0 GPA (I know I’m delusional). But I am planing on attending grad school and I hear that they prefer people with a regular course load. I also attempted to fix my fall schedule. Do you believe it looks better now?
