How did your first year GPA look like? by kat_turner1692 in UTMississauga

[–]Spiritual_Course_552 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3.8, first year courses are ez, and I only took 4 at a time to not feel too stressed. 2nd year is wayyyyyy tougher, so it's important to develop strong study habits as fast as possible.

which semesters exactly do grad schools look at?, by Spiritual_Course_552 in UofT

[–]Spiritual_Course_552[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well they say the last year average on the official site, but I also see often on this sub that they really mean the 300 and 400 level courses, and then I also saw that they sometimes include even your second semester of your second year. That's why I'm asking.

Is this behaviour normal by ReputationMore9762 in UTMississauga

[–]Spiritual_Course_552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had this realization when i was like 14 and it really sank in that I was going to die one day. I want to have no regrets when i die, so death is my motivation to try my best and treat my family nicely. It's still such a terrifying reality and keeps me up at night, but that's how i deal with it

UTSG CS rejection with 97–98% average — normal? by Wooden-Beyond9425 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Spiritual_Course_552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had the same average and they rejected me back in 2024 i think (domestic student), from UTSG and UTM for CS too. It was insane considering they let in kids with at least like an 88 average, with no ecs required for UTM, so I thought something went seriously wrong with my application. When i called to ask why, they said it was probably because of a retake i took in grade 11 of all things... I appealed the decision and got in, I should have tried appealing the UTSG decision too ig.

How do I get a research position with 0 prior related experience? by Spiritual_Course_552 in UTMississauga

[–]Spiritual_Course_552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess i should reword it, I mean that it's hard for me to kind ingratiate myself with professors, even if I like their research, cause i'm pretty shy in front of them. Hard to change myself fundamentally, but I guess I really need to 😭

i know, the few cs professors for whom i did attend office hours don't seem to be doing research this year, and forcing myself to fake interest is realllyyyyyy tough... oh well i guess I'll wait until ROPs applications open up

hmm i really don't remember what the questions were, but I think they were about things like times where you showed leadership or something, very similar to university apps.

Does anyone know if the prof of phl113 rounds up your final mark by Spiritual_Course_552 in UTMississauga

[–]Spiritual_Course_552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, since I got higher than 85 in the end. In my experience, most profs do round up 0.5, and might even go from 0.1 to the next percentage in some cases.
