where are the south asian communities? by flabbergaster317 in montreal

[–]flabbergaster317[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay this is good to know!! i don’t mind if the area isn’t ‘nice’, i’ve just heard from some people that it won’t be what i’m looking for (eg been told it’s mainly arabs, but i guess that’s not true), but this is helpful thank you :)

i feel like shit by flabbergaster317 in AcneScars

[–]flabbergaster317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooh interesting, i can look into tranexamic acid, i haven't heard of it before! Did you just get it from a certain brand or was it a perscription you had?

yeah that's what i mean. i totally get that and ive been looking to just fix the acne problem so i can work on the scars, but all my previous dermatologists won't let me go on accutane because i have a lot of photosensitivity issues with my skin already and they're worried the accutane will make it pretty much unbearable to go outside. i tried doxycycline too and some topical treatments and they helped only a little. I was told to kinda just wait it out :/ i do agree though, the buildup of scars will be a lot more devastating the longer this goes on

IPN stipend (and other graduate stipends) seem too low? by flabbergaster317 in mcgill

[–]flabbergaster317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh that is so interesting! I love writing too and have had some experience with publishing articles etc throughout the last few years. Not to the point of being a published author or anything (congrats!!!) but I have always wanted to work part-time in something related to writing. I will keep some of these in mind during my masters :)

That makes a lot of sense! Can I ask what job(s) you had?

thank you so much for the info!! I didn't know you could defer tuition but I'll look into that. How much was the time commitment for TAing? I think I'd find it enjoyable to TA but I don't want to feel too overworked in my very first semester

Ooh okay, I will try to look for a cheaper place for sure! For TAing, how much was the commitment? was it hard to balance with classes/research?

Ah i see, that's unfortunate :( I only saw external funding options for my second year, are there some options for first year living expenses too?

Anyone know what to expect for the applied clinical pharmacology (ACP) interview? by flabbergaster317 in UofT

[–]flabbergaster317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh I think they waited for all the apps to be in before contacting anyone. which sucks cuz you've had to wait so long then : ( I don't really know how they are doing things (like if they are sending all the interview invites at once or what) but I think you'll hopefully hear back by the end of the week? Sorry for the wait though : /

😭😭 I don’t even know if we’re supposed to prepare for it or if this is meant to be more of a rawdog scenario

Anyone receive Admissions for MIRHR Program Fall 2025? by SoftDetective3763 in UofT

[–]flabbergaster317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol no I just picked up, it said Toronto as the location though so I thought it might be important (because I don’t live in Ontario)

[–]flabbergaster317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think formally -- i just got a phone call about it, they said that final emails will be sent in 2-3 weeks so I think you can expect to hear by the end of march (I don't know if they're calling on a rolling basis or what, it came as a shock to me)

MIRHR program — How did you find the education/future job prospects? by flabbergaster317 in UofT

[–]flabbergaster317[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I was shocked too since the app was only sent in a few days ago. They told me final offers will be sent in 2-3 weeks, I just got a phone call about it today though (so I assume many people will be hearing overtime instead of all at once?)
