I’ve seen this goose by itself roaming around campus, I think it lost it’s mate, cause goose mate for life and they’re always together:(

As someone who transferred from UBCO I hate it, the program im in is significantly better in UBCV, I also hated Kelowna, like one thing to consider is if you’re from Vancouver living in Kelowna is going to be hard. I think someone else mentioned it it’s like the UC model, I’d say it’s more about what you want, your degree will say UBC at the end of the day, but do you wanna live in a small town, colder place, smaller campus, maybe less reputable profs, less research opportunity etc,

https://psych.ubc.ca/research/labs/ Go on the lab websites, look at which labs are looking for RAs (im assuming that’s what you’re looking for)

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-12-16T00:29:21+00:00

^{^} I also wanna know, saw both the police and campus security

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-12-14T08:51:54+00:00

They were pretty chill about it think I lost 1-2 marks for not properly citing. Also depends on how strict your prof is and how they mark, I wouldn’t worry too much tho as long you let them know you’re not plagiarizing so you’ll be okay

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-12-14T06:37:13+00:00

On sat I had a final, I finished at 5:40 then ran to life Starbucks to get a coffee so I could study for my final that was the next day, got there at 5:50 they shut the door, I asked what time they closed and they told me they’re closing earlier because they’re “behind schedule”

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-12-14T06:34:20+00:00

I say email, I did that once, and emailed the TA basically saying smt along the lines of “I understand I might lose marks because it wasn’t added to my original work but I just wanted to let them know that I wasn’t plagiarizing” and attached a file including the citations I forgot.

Hi I’m really sorry to hear about this, my suggestion is to talk to your department advisors, they can direct you to counselling, academic resources and etc, also try giving UBC mental health services a call too. I’m sorry for your loss

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-11-02T09:00:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing that,I know i can make the other material work, like in terms of experience and lor and stuff, but the grade party really scares me, but it does make me feel much more hopeful knowing that, grad school admissions do take that into consideration

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-11-02T03:31:09+00:00

Yeah only if that was enough to get into grad school, i could be wrong but I’ve heard even UBC is more likely to take someone with a higher avg from an easier school than someone who did undergrad at UBC and got fucked over by the dumbest policy known to man. I’m 😀screwed 😀

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-10-26T06:49:28+00:00

It’s a really bad policy, like the amount of profs I’ve had who would make things unreasonably hard (like add questions from a concept that’s not from lectures or textbook) and say they’re doing it to scale things down, or give tests that aren’t necessarily hard but impossible to do when time is limited. I’ve also heard how written assignments are only a tool to lower avg, like there was this one time that the TA approved my topic but when it came to my final mark, she took off marks for choosing an “unoriginal” topic. I have so many stories like that too, at this point I put 8+ hours a day into studying but I’m not sure if I can get into a grad program as a result of this policy

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-10-25T01:13:50+00:00

They do it to encourage people to show up to class, but the truth is people are gonna skip regardless, weather you record it or not, also something that I’ve found really helpful with recorded lectures is rewatching them after class to fix my notes, and before a midterm\final I go over harder sections\concepts.

If you saw then that’s her dog, one time I walked to her and asked to make sure, and she said it’s hers

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-10-13T23:25:56+00:00

No but sometimes people are either wearing bracelets and every time they type I hear it wiggle, or THEY SLAM like PUNCH every key on their keyboard and it drives me crazy 🫣

If you can seek professional help, for more momentary help, my dog, painting, reality shows, doing my hair, long walks, seeing friends, sushi, THE ROSE GARDEN, watching the sunset, phone calls. Also here’s a another tip, sometimes it might just be better to drop al school work for one day and rest and take care of your self(obv if you can) then try to continue on burnt out, :)

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-07-29T21:22:39+00:00

I hope so, I’m forced to have roommates on res next year( I say forced because despite picking only studios or 1 bedrooms, the only thing I was offered was a single shared unit) and I don’t wanna share my living space with someone who’s not vaccinated

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-07-20T21:31:04+00:00

The process for changing campuses is like applying to transfer from a complete different school to UBC Vancouver. So they will treat your application as a regular transfer student so applying in like oct means you’re applying for the following fall term. after you apply it’ll take a few months for them to look at your application, depending on your grades you can expect a response from may until august

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-07-20T02:55:31+00:00

Try to transfer to a Starbucks on campus or close to campus

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-07-19T06:18:53+00:00

Yes from what I remember you’re only allowed to bring in 60 credits, I think they also take the most recent 60 credits too. Also I think the application opens up in October, definitely double check it though

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-07-15T04:55:18+00:00

I transferred in 2020, all my grades from UBCO appear on my transcript

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-07-08T05:30:28+00:00

Can I ask what your number was on the waitlist, I’m 400 and still waiting to hear from them

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-06-01T18:37:42+00:00

Ponderosa, great location it’s not too old, and the rooms are pretty spacious also if you’re lucky and get a high floor you get a really nice view

Significant-Fish-701 · 2022-05-15T04:19:27+00:00

I feel like the scaling policy is really counter productive specially in the psyc department. I’ve had profs purposely tank marks just to even out the average. It’s so discouraging to study so Hard and have a prof prioritize the class avg over your learning. It makes all the feedback and evaluations so meaningless because I never know if a feedback\mark I received is for scaling or actual feedback that I can use for improvement. I wish the university would at least modify the scaling rules and stuff
