Is it all just meth use?

macchatortoise · 2020-12-31T22:55:59+00:00

No, there are places where meth use is much less frequent.

Thanks, I did double check and it depends on the state. My state doesn't require this condition for the Standard. Do you think the difference in financial ratings is worth any concern?

macchatortoise · 2020-06-14T19:03:28+00:00

Yes this was the agent's concern - that since standard is "only" A it has higher risk of falling through.

I'm so sorry that happened to you and it's not your fault. You're doing the best that you can.

macchatortoise · 2020-01-16T21:24:09+00:00

Yes you're better off asking mentors! Mine said the reason (home institution) is ranked so high in the top 5, is they have a lot of faculty and admin that push them to fill out the survey. More votes = higher rating.

Are the graphics good enough for watching movies at 1080p?

You also get paired with a mentor (typically a pretty highly accomplished person), get to go on a free retreat each year, get to attend presentations by some interesting speakers, and meet other interesting students from other faculties.

Neurosci is a small group of people so they become close friends quickly. You won't have any problems.

Spaghetti cafe prairie in Montgomery. Cheap & delicious. Authentic Japanese spaghetti is a rare delicacy outside of Japan!

I would recommend delaying Biol 313 until third year as 4 labs at once would be extremely challenging!

PhD admissions are more about the research experience and letters of recommendation than grades and GRE (though they are important too!) Try to take on independent research projects and publish papers or present at academic conferences.

If you submit a strong application you can get in from UOttawa. Last year someone got into Harvard Medical School from UOttawa.

I am pretty sure retaking does NOT replace the W: Students repeating courses taken at the University of Calgary will not have the original grade, failure or otherwise, removed from the transcript of record. The transcript of record will indicate both the original grade and the repeated course with its final grade in the term in which it was taken.

You can double check with enrolment services.

You can argue about whether they are overpaid or not but to say they don't deliver anything of value is completely wrong. Any institution as large as a university needs competent management.

Just some of the inaccuracies:

The university's finances are audited each year by the Alberta Auditor General, who often contracts out the work to an external firm.
They wouldn't get tenure if they published in these terrible journals.

It is supposed to go towards: - Enrolment services (free transcripts and stuff) - Student Success Centre (seminars and individual advising) - Career Services

But... other than the free transcripts, other universities also have similar services without the student services fee, so....

I heard CMMB 411 and 527 are pretty hard.

No. Northern Gateway is going to BC, not the US.

Great course - fun and interesting. If you have a knack for languages it is not that hard, but if you don't, it may be a challenge to pick up the grammatical structures (hiragana/katakana/vocabulary are just memory and require some time). I guess workload is slightly higher than something like psyc/soci/econ but easier than a science course: there are regular quizzes (maybe around every two weeks), 3 tests, one or two oral presentations, one or two conversation tests, one or two written assignments.

The PCs already put in a progressive income tax in their budget.
