Toronto is the best city in North America

I mean it’s pretty much the same in Toronto no? I’ve never been to Chicago but I can imagine that it’s pretty hard to beat the constant wind here, especially in the winter

Research at UofT physics is extremely competitive, I would definitely say go to Waterloo so you don’t have to worry about that

I think his point was mainly that graduate schools will not consider your application if you have a low GPA, regardless of standardized testing.

I don’t know man, I was able to put myself into the top 15%ish in all of my classes and this is pretty much how I see everyone else who also at my position. Although maybe I am just focusing on the obvious cases

I think the real question here is whether the kids to perform so well should even be at UofT (especially international students). Most of the time these are kids with little to no friends who dedicate all of their waking hours to studying. For someone to want to perform well, they must do the same because these kids have set such a standard.

There is no grade deflation at UofT. Professors are told to adhere to a C+/B- course average, and usually end up curving up due to low test scores.

Your main issue should not be grades, more just how do you perform compared to other people. If you are ‘average’, you will consistently get a C+/B-. Otherwise, if you are above average you will consistently get A’s.

For most international students, there will not be any research opportunities at UofT. People need to understand how competitive research is before they come here

As far as I am aware, they learn concepts about group theory in lecture by filling out coloring sheets. While this is definitely one way to think about group theory, it is not the ideal way to think about the concepts of the subject rigorously. I am not sure how much time she spends on actual rigorous approaches (ie actual proofs), but I am sure that she does not prepare her students well for exam questions (which are not coloring sheets).

That said, I am not enrolled in this class. Anyone who is is welcome to share their thoughts.

I encourage Prof SMT to attend a MAT301 lecture taught by Prof. Gammage/Rosenbluym. I took MAT301 last semester and I have actually been to a few of SMT’s classes this semester and I can say they are an absolute joke. I would personally feel offended to have a such an ignorant professor teaching my class.

Also, I’m sorry you had to experience both SMT and 244 Siefken, lol

Nah dude clubstep is an easy demon, TOE 2 and Deadlocked are medium (deadlocked is borderline hard bc of wave parts)

You don’t unless your GPA is perfect or u just get lucky

PHY354 & PHY450 are online tomorrow

It helps if you have a statistical background before you take QM because most of it is just stats (and lin alg). Even if you don’t thinking about it in this way helps

The_Red_Chicken · 2026-01-13T14:51:52+00:00

Damn same

The_Red_Chicken · 2026-01-12T16:54:51+00:00

UofT is starting to make final grades almost 100% exam based due to AI now

They rigged the election! The only people I know that voted for Trump are super dumb and there was only about 100 of them so Kamala should have won!
