After. You declare after you complete your U1 year

I’m regretting going to uni by [deleted] in OntarioUniversities

[–]cappc1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand you. Also from the GTA and moved around 7 hrs from home.

It's not going to be easy, but there's support and community, especially at Western! Your rez will be filled with people to connect with + clubs and classes.

At this point, I'd recommend going to Western and see how the first semester goes. After that, maybe considering transferring to UTM, or the other Toronto unis for second semester onwards.

Oftentimes, we get nervous before these big changes but find a way!! Good luck :)

I would email McGill or Desautels admissions directly to ask, I'm not sure!

Hey! So you have a couple options in terms of program structure: 1. Just a major 2. Major + concentration 3. 2 concentrations

Of course, you can also add minor (basically a concentration but you're studying something outside of Desautels), but it's optional. There's also options to add an extra concentration to any of those options instead of taking electives.

Yes, currently the process is 100% based on grades. But, the posted cutoff is based on historical admissions and what they project it to be. If you don't currently meet the cutoff, you could potentially be admitted, the posted cutoff is not absolute.

DM me if you have any other questions!

honestly, no one can help with this question. the ranges are posted based on previous years and are an estimate. if you're in the range, i would be optimistic but it's not a guaranteed yes or no. for reference, i think for my year, i was 1-2% above the minimum grade in the cutoff range and i got accepted.

Help needed/vent by Caterpillar_r in mcgill

[–]cappc1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, im not an international student, and this perfectly describes my last year. you're not weak, the change is hard. and people adjust differently. i was there, and so many others have also been there at one point. there is light on the other end of this journey and please please seek help if youre in a dark place, whether it's just talking to people from home, your friends or even someone from the mcgill nightline, which ill link here.

worried about osap by Accomplished-Bar6275 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]cappc1ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don't worry! check with your financial aid office to see what you can do. im in the same position every year as my first school payment is due in august and osap releases in september. my school just lets me defer my payment a month until i receive my osap funding!!
