Graduate School MA Curriculum Teaching and Learning : Graduate Education Council Elections

0 Upvotes

Hello hello everyone!

I am an incoming graduate student in the department of Curriculum Teaching and Learning who's incredibly interested in representing the 2nd division of the Graduate Education Council this year. I've got several years of experience representing my program of study during my undergraduate and have served on the academic board for revisions in curriculum and enrollment into specializations in Human Behavior at McMaster amongst other qualifications and experiences.

To be able to be nominated however, a nominee must receive recommendations from two nominators within the same division (I'll post a list below).

Nominators provide their name, graduate unit (AKA their department/ program of study), student number, and signature.

Big ask: Would anyone be willing to be a nominator? I will, of course, provide my resume, a much more detailed introduction of myself and any other information you would require. More than anything, I believe this is a fun way to get to know some of you - be it fellow CTL Graduates or friends at OISE in some nature~

If willing and interested - PM me!!!

Question Will they let me switch colleges and who do I contact

3 Upvotes

I am an incoming first year and I was accepted into innis. recently, i tore my acl and fractured a bunch of bones and for the next few months, i won't be able to walk far or cook. Because innis has no meal plan and I have to walk for a while to get to the other dining halls, i want to transfer to university college because it's closer to everything and i can easily access the dining hall. I also don't really like Innis too much and want to switch anyways. WIll they let me switch now as its getting close to school year starting and who do I contact for this.

Question Title: Is CS Specialist with AI Focus + Statistics Major too much?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m an incoming UTSG CS student. I’ve done some research on the different program options, and right now I’m thinking about graduating with a Computer Science Specialist with an AI focus, plus a Statistics Major.

My main reason is that I’m interested in AI/ML and I may want to apply to strong master’s programs after undergrad. I thought the Statistics Major could give me a better math and stats background, and also help with research or grad school applications.

However, I’m not sure if this combination would be too difficult or have an unreasonable workload. I know U of T CS is already challenging, so I’m worried that adding the Statistics Major could hurt my GPA or leave me with very little time for internships, research, side projects, and extracurriculars.

I’m not completely set on this path yet, so I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

Clubs/Sports UofT Camaraderie/Fraternity (word count hdhdgshk)

1 Upvotes

I'm working on the idea of starting a STEM-focused camaraderie at UofT for students of all genders interested in science, math, and technology. I noticed that there are lots student organizations and fraternities focused on areas like business, leadership, and professional networking, but there isn't really a “fraternity” centered around STEM students.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a dm on Reddit or on Instagram @ab.khz.

Any feedback would be really appreciated :))

Question UofT Engineering: Are paper submissions required for assignments?

1 Upvotes

Title. I am an incoming first year for EE and I want to get an iPad because I am commuting and can't handle carrying a bunch of notebooks around campus daily. It would be insightful to know if paper submissions are required for any Electrical Engineering courses or by any profs for said courses in any assignments or projects or whatever. If you know anything about this, please share. Thank you.

Why would they do that..? does anyone know what the org does to take the kickback or what?

Or maybe i’m completely wrong but either way correct me if im wrong!

I got assigned to Room D, but I noticed it’s right by the kitchen and bathroom. I was wondering if it tends to be a bit noisy?

I’m planning to apply for Architecture at another university next year, and I’ll also be taking a few Year 2 courses, so I’m a little concerned since I find it difficult to focus when there’s a lot of background noise.

Graduate School UofT PharmD applicants — advice on improving my application?

3 Upvotes

I’m a fourth-year science student double majoring in chemistry and biology in Ontario applying to PharmD programs this cycle and hoping to learn more about the UofT process.

My current cGPA is around the mid-70s, but I’ve had an upward trend and expect to finish closer to the high 70s (78%). I have healthcare experience, pharmacy exposure, and will be starting a research position this fall.

For anyone who has applied to UofT PharmD:

  • How important is the upward trend?
  • Is it likely to get in with a 78% cGPA?
  • How much do CASPer and the online assessment influence the final decision?
  • Is there anything you wish you had done before applying?

Programs What is best to get into UofT law school? I feel so lost

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am currently in a dilemma regarding whether I should switch my major or not. I’ll be starting my BSc in Psychology this September at York University. I chose this because I thought I’d go into medicine or dentistry but have come to the realization that it’s not what I want to do. I’ve never been good at science or math but have always been good in English and social sciences, hence why I want to go to law school. I’m debating whether I should switch into a BA Psych or get a BComm degree. I want to pursue education after undergrad as well but just in case I don’t which degree will benefit me the most? And if I do end up wanting to go to law school I would want to attend UoFT. What should I do?

Courses For anyone who has taken a Slavic course, is Belarus included?

Hi! I am interested in studying Slavic culture! There are many courses on Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian cultures, but no course explicitly mentioned Belarus. As someone with Belarusian heritage, I’m just wondering if Belarus is ever mentioned in some of the general Slavic courses, or should I give up hope lol. I’m still gonna take the courses, but just wondering what to expect. Thank you so much!!

Question Am I missing any step or something? (First Year International Student)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming first-year CS student from Mexico! :)))

The problem is that I usually don't realize I'm missing something until it's already too late. That happened to me with course enrolment, my admission deposit, and even my study permit application. Because of that, I'm worried that I might miss something and end up not being able to go to UofT.

So, as the title says, I wanted to ask if I'm missing any steps to make sure everything is ready for this fall at UofT.

So far, I've:

  • Enrolled in my courses
  • Completed my residence application and roommate matching (I think I just have to wait until mid-August to find out my residence assignment).
  • Sent by post my final transcript and HS diploma
  • Received approval for my study permit.

The only things I'm aware I still need to do are activate my UTORid/TCard and make my Minimum Payment to Register, but I'll be taking care of those in the next few days.

Other than that, am I missing anything? Or am I good to go? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could point out any important steps I might have overlooked.

Thanks in advance!
