I'm going to my second year of life sci and finished first year with 12.0 gpa. This morning I got so excited seeing the email for in-course awards just to see that I only got the provost medal with $0 scholarships! This is very discouraging and I don't know what to do. I extremely need bursaries and scholarships and I have contacted registrar's multiple times and they just say that I have to wait. What should I do??

Hey! I'm moving into bates residence soon and I've got a couple questions from me and a friend. If anyone who's lived there before could lend some advice that would be so awesome. 😅

Which direction does room 325 at bates face?

Being an older building, are the shower pipes very loud?

Is a fan included in bates? In the what-to-bring poster from mac it mentions that fans are included in residence with no AC, is this true of bates?

Thank you!

Incoming international first year for humanities this fall - already loving the campus! Can't wait to start!

While I was there they were doing some filming on campus so had to avoid some areas but can't wait!

does it count as overload if i take 3 courses in spring and 1 course in the summer? or is it 2 courses max per semester?

Hello,

I got into mac eng and uoft electrical eng, and I chose mac eng because my parents wanted me to go there, and I heard that their co-op is comparable to uoft's.

However, long after the deadline to select programs, I read on here that oscarplus is pretty much useless for eng.

Did I screw up? I was wondering if any upper year eng students can give me their prespective on this matter.

I just started my 16 month engineering coop this summer. I used to work part-time as a research assistant with a professor before this, and he wants me to continue working for the upcoming academic year as well. The hours are short and flexible, so they don’t interfere with my coop work hours. For anyone who has similar experience, were there any issues you faced or steps you had to go through? Do I need someone’s permission? Will the coop office approve of this?

TIA!

Hi I failed eleceng 2ci4 in my second year of computer engineering and the prof for 3ej4 said I can't take the course.

does anyone know of other options and if i can still graduate within 4 years?

bro a 54% avg is diabolical this course sucks

I recently got accepted into McMaster Humanities, but I’m considering trying to transfer into Engineering because it’s something I’ve always been interested in.

I know the process is extremely competitive, and I’ve already looked into the requirements (prerequisites, GPA, petition, etc.). I’m not looking for information on the basic process, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually gone through it or knows someone who has.

Any advice, tips, or things you wish you knew before trying to transfer would mean a lot. I’m planning to work as hard as I can, but I’m feeling so scared and discouraged because it's extremely competitive and feels impossible.

does anyone else who applied to this know when we can expect to hear back, or if they have already sent offers?

Hii guys, today i just into the interview round i was wondering if you guys have any tips for how to prepare i really want this. Also how does the interview go from those who have gone through the process because it’s a pre-recorded interview. lmk anything would be appreciated!

Hi! Based on uOttawa's MD program bio prereq:

I was wondering if BIO 1M03 can be used to fulfill this requirement, because I'm unsure as to whether it encompasses the "examples of topics" listed by uOttawa above. Can anyone who is in the program, has applied, or has friends who are in the program clarify? Thank you :)

If anyone has tested at the Pearson professional center in McMaster Innovation Park, can you please dm me? Thanks!!

I remember when I registered for this course. I thought I was smarter than all 15 people who told me not to register for this course. If it helps you believe me more, I graduated Summa Cum Laude and got a 10 in this course I swear you’re hearing this from the mouth of a good student. I hope from the bottom of my heart people will heed my warning because I am well graduated right now and still thinking about how negligent it would be of me to not warn people.

This course is taught by genuinely one of the most incompetent human beings on this planet. She will spend every lecture talking about her glory days in the industry and provide some qualitative context about the assigned chapters. She will cover three or even five chapters in one class.

The problem is, this course is not one of those fluff courses where you talk qualitatively about this that and the other and call it a day. It is purely assessed quantitatively.

Hear me right now. This is the equivalent of a calculus course being taught like its marketing.

You are independently expected to learn and use all of the math while having ZERO quantitative work being done in class.

Your time spent in class is completely and utterly useless, it’s literally just you and a textbook written for pros (question workings skip steps, don’t provide context, etc.). Nobody attends class after a few weeks because everyone picks up the fact that there is nothing useful being taught in class and there is an overwhelming amount of content to learn.

The cumulative exam. The exam literally makes my blood boil to this day. She tells us that the first half of the textbook isn’t that important and to focus on the way more difficult second half of the textbook. Which to us made complete sense because why would she mislead us.

The cumulative final exam was just five questions. I think there was only one was from the second half, the remaining questions were from the first half almost everybody neglected to study.

Genuinely I have never been more traumatized by a course in my life. This course was so extremely difficult and took over my entire life. It doesn’t help that Alicia Damley is actually a nightmare of a professor. Please god spare yourself.

one of the prerecs to applying to the accelerated nursing program is to have 3 units of stats that covers descriptive stats, probability, ANOVA, etc. those topics are split between PNB 2XE3 and PNB 3XE3, can I still use it as my prerec or do I need to change to stats 2b03? I’m in BioPNB by the way.

I am a student and I got accepted into Mcmaster automotive engineering gonna start year 1 if anyone can send me the drive with all the textbooks or discord gc link or Instagram gc it would be really appreciated

hi guys if anyone (girl) is looking to move to dt toronto for an internship or masters etc - i'm looking for a roommate starting aug 18 around tmu/eaton. I'm also a mac student but i moved out of hamilton for my internship year.

Hello! Hai! I hope everyone is doing well, I hope ur summers have been pleasant so far >.<! I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in creating a Ham Radio Club. I do not think one exists at the moment. I am not sure how popular amateur radio still is, surely there are other license operators on campus! :D

For some reason my textbook link has not been letting me open the page at all. Is this happening for anyone else ? Actually so frustrating.. The minimal times I actually try to keep up with readings...

I need all the help I can get!! Please teach me your ways!! How can I get the best mark for the final exam (I have 3 weeks!)

Hi - This question is to All the Commerce students who applied or got into Internship program.

If,by chance I get selected in Internship program the decisions will come in August will I still have to do it means is it compulsory to do internship program in the next fall or summer if I get selected to move into my last year. Thank you so much

I just completed a solgaleo raid with 8 total trainers, i had no idea the pogo scene was so active! Anyone want to share Freind Codes and maybe do some raids together come fall?

Hi! I have an interview coming up next month with CAMH 9-8-8 hub as a crisis responder. If anyone had done it before or knows anything about it? Just a bit nervous lol

Has anyone tried the musc matcha and is it good (or good enough where it’s drinkable😭)? Trying to use my meal plan up and I’m craving matcha!!!

i got a couple scholarships this morning for highest gpa in my major (in-course automatically assessed). I didn’t get any senate or hooker awards, but I had a high average last year (all 12s).

I’m wondering if anyone else got the senate or hooker yet, or if more scholarships are still coming out later?

(note: this is not to brag or act entitled to the senate or hooker, and i apologize in advance if it comes off that way, i’m genuinely just curious to know if I can expect any more or if the couple i got was all!)
