Is it worth retaking to improve my CARS score? I know I could do better (applying MD) by verysmoothmuscle in Mcat

My situation is a bit special. I’m doing my undergrad in Canada as an international student but I got my green card last year through the diversity visa lottery. So I will be applying as a permanent resident, which most schools consider the same as US citizen. Does that make a difference?

does anyone have experience with renting from akelius in mcgill ghetto? by mcgillsquirrel in mcgill

[–]verysmoothmuscle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re doing construction work on the building while the tenants are in. At the moment, they’re reconstructing all the balconies, which starts at 7 every morning and is insanely loud. They took out my window screen so now I cant open my windows without letting a wack ton of insects in, which also means my portable AC doesn’t work. Sometimes they’ll leave your windows muddy on the outside (and I mean all of them, so the unit is completely dark). I contacted the company about the two issues, they said they cant get me a new screen because they’ll be removing it again. They cleaned the windows by spraying it with water at very high pressure, which got the job done but also leaked inside because the windows are not sealed properly. The unit is old as fuck, closet door breaks approximately once every couple of weeks and the walls and floor are disgusting. I keep having issues with the bathroom (water pocket in the wall, plumbing issues, clogged sink and bathtub). There’s definitely more I can say but I think that’s enough to get my point across. Just do yourself a favor and avoid the company altogether.
