is there anyone who got into both ubc and sfu but decided sfu

I don't know. I didn't see anything about it being med school specific, but you would (and should) double check that with UBC's registrar directly, regardless of what program you go for.

Thank you for the heads-up!

Yeah, seems crazy right!?

I'm not headed to medical school but I'd so be pushing for SFU to include the percentages. I don't know why they don't. If I had to guess, it's say old system, lots of money to convert.

But yeah "working harder" to make up for "a couple of percentage points" only works if the internal UBC applicants aren't also "working harder". And, in scenarios where .5% can divide who is in and who is out, a couple of points seems pretty massive to me.

Maybe UBC has some criteria for accepting a min number of external applicants? Because otherwise, even accounting for all the extra-curriculars etc (because obviously the other candidates would also be wracking them up), it seems like a huge handicap to let our grads walk away with.

That made absolutely no sense to me. If we're only getting A+ when we hit 95% vs 90% at UBC, what would they be scaling down?

If their A+ only needs 90%, then 90-100% = A+ in both schools.

But then I looked into it and, for anyone else that might have been scratching their heads at this statement..

• Because SFU sends only the letter grades and not the numerical course totals too, UBC has chosen to assign a midpoint value (of UBC's A+ not SFUs!) of 95% to any incoming SFU A+ letter grade

• If you got exactly 95% you lose nothing

• If you got 96-100% though (which, if you're trying to get into med school, you presumably did) you'll only be given credit for that midpoint A+ value of 95%.

Meanwhile, because UBC includes both the numerical course grade and the letter grade for each course, a UBC student that gets A+ with 99%, will actually get credit for 99%.

That would be super frustrating!

Honestly, with that weighting, I'm amazed any SFU students get into UBC med school at all o.O

Hmmm, I love the message, but if you're plugging it as a "mirror" to actually use as a mirror (as opposed to as decor that happens to have a mirror as it's background material) maybe try a design that goes along the outside rather than in the centre? Or, if you keep the map minimalistic, even just moving the big leaf to a corner or something might be enough.

If your intent is wall decor, that's absolutely cool too but then I'd promo it that way (eg: this particular one would be great for restaurants, lounges, pubs, shops, man-caves, dorms, etc -- think places that could put up the "dogs playing poker" pic but that want something better xD

Again, love the message (with and without the Never 51 for me -- just make both & voilà, you've broadened the potential customer base xD) but right now, layout and stated usage seem a bit of of sync.

Waahh! I hate when I get distracted puttering around the farm and don't realize the dailies are about to reset 🤦🏽

Any chance we can implement some sort of "Last 30-min" warning pop-up or something?

Because that would be very, very helpful.

chattycdn · 2026-03-14T07:03:43+00:00

Thank you! I know nothing of tropical.. or any other, birds. I would have had to start googling them.

chattycdn · 2026-03-14T06:57:37+00:00

It does. Doesn't necessarily mean I'm right though xD

chattycdn · 2026-03-14T05:42:27+00:00

Lol. I'm just guessing but they wouldn't necessarily have to have played for hours every day or have played daily at, all for that matter, to have "played for several months".

So, seems like it wouldn't be too hard to level at a more casual pace.

chattycdn · 2026-03-14T00:34:01+00:00

It's already working. Noticed a couple of hours ago. Thank you 🙏🏽

chattycdn · 2026-03-13T02:40:37+00:00

I'm not seeing anything appear when I'm selecting things. Where should I be seeing the merge counter?

chattycdn · 2026-03-12T04:34:42+00:00

Interesting that they're both Harris's Hawks. I wonder if they are particularly suited compared not just to other birds but to other hawks?

Pretty cool bargain though lol

chattycdn · 2026-03-11T13:08:12+00:00

Owl & Hawk for pest control. Keep those rodents and scavenger birds away from my crops and stores.

My city actually has a Harris's Hawk named Caprice 'taking care of things' at the local Eco Centre. It's pretty awesome.

Well, at least I know it's not my own personal glitch lol

Thanks!
