drop your go to headphones for getting through the year.
- must block out the influx of yappers during the exam season (I have perfectly functional airpods 4s with anc but they unfortunately aren't enough for certain environments)
- over ear headphones
- must be comfortable for long hours of studying
i've been looking at the sony xm5s, bose quietcomfort ultra and beat studio pros!
for those who took it in the summer is the textbook a mandatory purchase, like are there assessments/software on there? i can't find much info on the brightspace and we don't have a working syllabus yet.
Hi everyone, I'm in a tough spot right now and would really appreciate some advice on this.
I'm currently sitting at a 3.68 and will be entering my fourth year. Yes, in the context of the average accepted applicant it is pretty low, but I had a very rough start in first year with a 2.64 OMSAS GPA 👍 Turns out I had undiagnosed autism and I was going through it because I had no idea what I was doing wrong. I got accommodations for all my exams and none of that worked so learning that was practically an eureka moment for me. After figuring myself out and asking myself if I really want to do medicine I took on two summers alongside the MCAT and research to do full time summer school courses and locked in for second and third year. I have had a 4.0 in every course since then, and I don't know what MCAT god blessed me to get a 527 w/ 132 CARS, but I thank them cause now McMaster is a possibility.
Am I basically putting all my hopes for Western? Yes. Maybe a bit for Queens, TMU and McMaster? Also yes. But I plan on writing the AEE for UofT, so my question is, how do I go about explaining my low GPA in first year? This also goes for other schools as well. There is so much stereotypes and stigma surrounding autism and I don't want my diagnosis to discriminate me in an already cutthroat process. If there is anyone here who was in a similar situation I would really appreciate any input.
