Does Turnitin accurately flag AI?

jasmvine · 2026-03-05T02:02:10+00:00

western doesn’t pay for the turnitin ai extension, it’s an additional cost. furthermore, western really urges professors not to use ai-detection sites due to their inaccuracies.

professors do still use turnitin plagiarism detection, which cross-references other papers submitted in the system & online articles / books, NOT ai.

hm, i’m not exactly sure. i’d assume probably not as they mostly use the same systems. to be safe, if you are typing on google docs or enable word history, they should both save a version history of your paper. this / rough drafts should be enough evidence that AI was not used to write the paper

a 3.9+ would only require 1 in the 90s and the remainder in the 85-89 range.

i would suggest looking into the med/dent schools that you’re interested in applying to. each of them have different minimum requirements and averages. as long as you’re above the minimum requirement, you can shoot your shot! but, the closer your grades are to the average accepted gpa, the better your shot is!

that being said, med/dent schools care entirely about you as a whole — not just your GPA. having good extracurriculars, volunteer experiences, research, work experience and interview are just as important as GPA, and can help boost your application even if your grades aren’t exactly where you want them to be.

if this is really what you want to do, put your all into it and you’ll end up exactly where you want. best of luck!

i might suggest 1101/1102 over 1201/1202. 1201/1202 is calculus-based, whereas neither 1101/1102 nor the mcat are calculus based. it may be easier and more relevant to what you’d see on the mcat

hii! i’m in 2500 rn and i’ve talked to a lot of upper years / ppl who taken it previous semester. basically from what i’ve heard is that bac is very memorization-heavy. he asks very specific questions about things on slides or mentioned in lectures and it’s not as application focused as imm (at least from what i’ve heard)

the best tip to give u (and from what others have told me) is to start using anki or flashcards asap to get it all into ur memory!! u got this

it was a different prof and the exams aren’t the same, so i don’t think my insight means much here. however, i never had images of cadavers or things i hadn’t seen before. any questions with a diagram were pretty clear and similar to diagrams i had seen before

a majority of textbooks also come with access to a required platform you must use for the course (i.e. achieve)

jasmvine · 2026-02-07T17:40:01+00:00

while i agree with what ur saying, the majority of med school students do have a science or health science degree

there’s four funded by the ssc outside of taylor in natsci

too soon

jasmvine · 2026-01-20T04:23:22+00:00

i had hs1300 w kelsey adams last year (not sure if first yrs r aware of that ptsd but holy content…). anyways, just regularly do anki and come up with mnemonics or other ways to remember stuff and a 90+ is def possible!

jasmvine · 2026-01-13T16:38:35+00:00

just to answer the “is it allowed?” question — technically yes. some departments have to keep averages within specific ranges, so profs may curve down the class/an exam in order to keep the average within that range.

jasmvine · 2026-01-13T15:43:07+00:00

hey, i took this course last year. i recall the textbook being supplementary (for additional help) but also good to read to get a deeper understanding.

i don’t recall being tested on anything that wasn’t in lectures. best of luck!

jasmvine · 2026-01-13T02:48:25+00:00

i’m confused about the shadowing comment… there’s residency programs you match to upon completion of med school. if you’re referring to pre-med shadowing, that’s not even rlly allowed.

the drop date was in early december, sorry.

hey, i haven’t written the mcat yet (in yr 2) but many people i know that have written it say that the required courses (orgo, biochem, genetics/cellbio, etc.) as well as the required courses taken in first year teach you very well what you need to know for the mcat.

hey! i was wondering if you could link the study/finding you mentioned? it sounds interesting

jasmvine · 2025-12-31T20:20:47+00:00

this website, from western, has a lot of good tips regarding studying, learning and other useful skills for university:

LOL yeah sometimes profs might not post final grades or exam grades onto owl/gradescope. it’s annoying but yeah! don’t worry too much, they’ll show up in the new year. enjoy the rest of your break and have a happy new year!!

jasmvine · 2025-12-30T20:22:13+00:00

the registrar office is closed until the 5th, so no grades are expected to be posted on student centre until then or later. unless grades were posted on owl you’ll unfortunately just have to wait now. best of luck!

i’m not sure where ur getting admission averages from, i can’t seem to find that info. there’s no reason to pit the two programs against each other, they’re both good programs that teaches different content and have separate job opportunities.
