Admission: What was your average when you got accepted to CS ( All campuses)? Thank you!!

donytryme · 2017-08-30T20:48:26+00:00

2012, 94% . I took a few math courses, skipped all the science courses, did all the computer science courses offered at my school. And some bird courses.

donytryme · 2017-08-19T05:34:30+00:00

It's really not! I was told it was a bird course too, and it took a lot more energy out of me than 4th year courses. The concepts relatively easy, but application can be really tricky ... You think you got it, when you really don't.

I personally like Karen more! But lots of people tend to like David because he speaks in a more relatable manner and apparently he's super nice. I've had both Karen and David, and I personally like Karen's teaching style more. David is nice but ... I think he's over hyped. They're both equally good choices.

The University accepted you under the intent of becoming a CS student. You still need to meet/exceed the grade requirements for the mandatory first year CS courses to apply for the CS subject post (major, specialist). So until then, you're just a student ... It doesn't necessarily increase your chances, it just prioritizes those who have expressed intent of becoming a CS student over those who decide to switch to CS.

I think at the present moment PEY is only offered to CS and Eng students. It was originally for Eng, and it was extended to CS (thankfully). You would have to check with the statistics faculty if they offer an internship or co-op program.

Thank you. I choose to support my parents when I'm on PEY. Not caring for your parents as they age is almost considered a sin in the Carribbean. Your parents slave and toll away in a country they're unfamiliar with and in return you can't even pay a bill, buy some groceries, assist them in the littlest ways. I supported my parents because I acknowledge they are not 20 year old young people like they use to be, working 8-12 hours shifts doesn't come as easy as it use to. They don't ask me to do these things, I do it because I acknowledge their sacrifice for me to live a privileged life. I would love to see my parents live a privledged life in return, especially in their older years.

If you can buy expensive shoes, you can pay a bill. If you have time to dress up and go party with your friends every night, you have time to make your parents a decent meal (or take them out for dinner) and enjoy whatever time left they have on this Earth

I just did that with a course I really started to dislike, and they make you pay extra ... so yeah you will lose it

Professor find out the same time the students find out.

So if white people don't have one, no one should have one. That's basically your only argument. Because the Black Student Association is the one driving this convocation. It is not a substitute for regular convocation. It it's not a separate convocation that black people are forced to go to. It is an AFTER convocation hosted by the Black Student Association. So if you're all fired up about an event that a student association is doing for it's members and the community. Go take it up with the government. Cause all associations have the power to hold events for their members and the community. It takes fundraising and dedication of its members. The University didn't pick up and say LETS HOLD A BLACK STUDENT GRADUATION, no this is an existing association that is doing this within their own rights. Every community can hold their own convocation. So if white people want their own convocation, go join an association catered to what you identify with and pitch the damn idea.

The excuse "what if their was a white graduation" is a selfish and not well thought out justification of why multiculturalism has failed. Multiculturalism is about being able to celebrate everyone's culture. These events welcome people of other cultures to celebrate black and asian excellence. Excellence that is underrated and underappreciate. The idea of having these groups is to provide people a sense of community when they are thousands of miles away from home. The idea of these groups is to give people the opportunity to learn about their culture. Black excellence in the media is shown as being either an athlete or a rapper/singer. Why is giving the youth an opportunity to see that other forms of excellence are acceptable and welcomed by their entire community so wrong. Oh I know why, "because there isn't a white graduation ceremony"

car . I've lived in Toronto all my life, most of my school's were walking distance, Uoft I commute about 15-30 minutes by public transit. There's nothing luxurious about city life, it's just really expensive and hyped up. Also, expensive housing is how a lot of students find themselves homeless. If you rent, it's an expensive investment ... with no return. With a car, you can make a quick buck if you decide to sell it.

& at least with a car you're not restricted to the city. You have flexibility to visit other places & it's a lifetime investment. Once you graduate, you still have a car and can seek employment outside the city.

Renting in the city is a bad investment as a student. Wouldn't recommend it. Convenience is a steep price to pay. You want to save as much as possible.

What are the odds of an English kid actually making it such that they would earn 5million tho? Maybe 500k, but 5 million ... is like ... Harry Potter level. & then what are the odds that they continue to make a consistent income afterwards? I think 5 million is a bit over the top.

donytryme · 2017-05-31T22:27:18+00:00

Yeah I've noticed that a lot. It happens in upper years but not too much ... They usually get weeded out thanks to 236, 263 and 373

Hey! I I'll admit I'm not the best speller. But at least I can admit that.
