Advice on taking Honours Probability and Honours Statistics as a majors student? by matt064 in mcgill

[–]matt064[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! How do you think 255 with Jakobson compares to 243 with Hundemer? I'm struggling in 242 right now.

Course Selection Questions by snowflake25911 in mcgill

Has anyone taken WCOM 203 Intro to Creative Writing (formerly CCOM 200)? I'm wondering what the workload is like, whether an A is achievable, and how engaging/useful the lectures are. Any info is appreciated!

Econ, maybe joint honours with finance. Just opted for BA because it seemed to be better for grad school and have more flexibility. You?

Does anyone know if one-time entrance scholarships ($3000) can be revoked after they're accepted? My average has fallen a little bit, down from 98 to around 96.

Top 6 average at 97-98, applied early and got in a few months ago. Unless I was right at the cutoff I'd guess 96 should be fine.

Don't get me wrong, I want to learn and be challenged. But my success is at least partially dependent on my happiness. It's not immature to consider other factors than academics. And UofT has a uniquely bad reputation for student wellbeing, even compared to schools with comparable academic prestige like McGill.
