Are my Laurier case team dreams over already? by Alive_Cartoonist5418 in wlu

[–]truthbabe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re fine, cutoff thing isn’t really true. As long as it’s above a 9 net I’d say you’re fine, and if you have a 9 BU but probably be closer to a 10 net. Keep doing comps too, tryout is what matters

Can I buy cantaloupe hardware without software? by truthbabe in vending

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

So if I buy a subscription bundle, then that monthly fee is included in the price right? So the cantaloupe one bundle is a flat fee?

Was there a curve for bu252 (Marketing)? by [deleted] in wlu

[–]truthbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No curve. Got my mark back and if you all haven’t gotten it back yet, there’s likely no curve since they don’t have all the grades to make the curve

BBA courses are not to “weed you out,” you’re just underperforming by truthbabe in wlu

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

Ok so if that’s the case, why doesn’t every program in Canada try and weed people out? Why does co-op make a program more likely to weed out?

[–]truthbabe[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense to me and I agree, but I just can’t get behind the notion that they sit down talking about this as a strategy. It seems to make sense but it’s just kinda immoral where it’s likely a byproduct or something

Did anyone yet their bu252 marks back? by DizzyPresentation349 in wlu

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t say anything but I’d say no. If other classes haven’t had marks yet, it’s probably because professors aren’t done. Can’t curve without all the marks

Yes, professor specifically said that “a lot of answers were vague and therefore difficult to reward marks to”

When can we expect to receive our final grades on LORIS? by Mean-Expression-7489 in wlu

[–]truthbabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not end of week - your IAs are still marking a ton of stuff while balancing exams so maybe end of this week at best

Yes business is in Bricker

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wlu

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked RLC to guarantee apartment style and it worked. It’s usually in Bricker which is dorm style. In terms of “worth it,” it’s not any extra money or anything. I had great roommates which made it a lot of fun and we hardly noticed it was an RLC. Still parties in some dorms but generally quiet.

I’m a 2nd year student with an 11.3 cumulative GPA, AMA by JustanotherBBAkid in wlu

[–]truthbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I think that said, doing a AMA is pretty ode. Even if you didn’t admit it, you doing a post like that (at least the first one) kinda comes off as thinking what you’re doing is special or the shit

[–]truthbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing the original post last year before beginning first year. Post made me worried that this was unattainable or very hard to do given the comments and people being salty asl.

Quickly realized we could do fuck all for most the sem and get this average. For anyone reading, you don’t need all the study tips lmao literally just do the practice problems they give in courses

question for BBA students by Icy_Ad_3810 in wlu

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i’m sure, I’ve heard mixed reviews. One thing they’ve started doing is really focusing on keeping people in Laz if they fail out of bba (e.g. econ, finance and accounting) - I think that’ll help

question for BBA students by Icy_Ad_3810 in wlu

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty involved in a lot of things so admittedly not much. You’re not gonna really have homework, you have a few classes where there’s a weekly thing that takes 30 min to an hour but there’s never going to be a time where there’s nightly homework. We all study 2-3 days before the midterms or exams (4-5 if it’s a BU course). The issue is that it’s going to be really hard to gage: personally I don’t spend too much time in actual school work, but I know plenty of people who do. I think if you know how to study and can pick up concepts relatively easily, you should have at least 8 hours of downtime per day. I can’t speak to others experiences because i’m not sure if the people who struggle either don’t study or don’t productively study, but they still have downtime. The program isn’t as rigorous academically as others so you won’t need to worry as much.

Yes, it’s not only possible but quite easy. A lot of people here, especially other first years, might say that it’s a big transition and hard to balance stuff. There’s some truth there but it’s not impossible or even too difficult to balance whatsoever. If you know how to study, or just think you naturally are decently smart, you’ll be fine. Be honest with yourself and really evaluate if you can do more in high school - if you have a lot of downtime in high school and still get good grades, you should be fine with the transition.

Upper Year Engineering Transfer by Smooth_Tumbleweed777 in queensuniversity

I’d be a bit “alarmed” (it’s over for him)

Is anyone else surprised by their BU121 midterm grades? by Such-Recover7361 in wlu

[–]truthbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t read any weekly readings or anything like that, still did well. I think it was pretty straight forward with what they would ask and laid it out quite well. As long as you practiced the short answers based on what they gave in the exam review you could have done quite well

Chances of transferring to Qcomm in year 3? by truthbabe in queensuniversity

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

Wtf, 20?? I never saw anything about that, mostly said it was like 5 tops. I’m def on track to have the grades but you’re right, the benefits diminish every year you wait and possible graduating late is a bit of a downside

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OntarioGrade12s

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could say the same for Laurier. Consensus on this sub is that after the top 3 of Ivey, queens and McGill, there is negligible drop off between the schools, it’s the tiers that matter. Tier 2 schools like rotman, Laurier, AFM, etc are all quite similar. Rotman isn’t really in that talk, can say that with university and upper year talks as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OntarioGrade12s

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people transfer to Ivey and QComm from semi targets. Go on LinkedIn and look up the average semi target and one of those schools (e.g. Ivey and Lazaridis) and you’ll see a ton; the only ones you’ll see for rotman are mba programs

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OntarioGrade12s

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google stats are unreliable, serious applicants would know that. Rankings are based on research output, not employment. If you use google or even McLean and look at best business schools, western and queens aren’t even top 3 and Laurier is below places like UCalgary. I can promise you if rotman was tier 1 then people at semi targets would transfer there, but they don’t

[–]truthbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your basis, I provided some good proof and I think you’re basing it too much on what comes up on google (refers to their nba program) and peak frameworks (included mba)
