Hi! I’m applying to MRU Nursing for Fall 2027. My counselor told me about a backup pathway where I can take courses, build my GPA, and then get into Nursing.
I’m confused because I see both UEO and Open Studies on the application. Since I’m coming directly from high school and haven’t done any post-secondary, would I apply for UEO? Is that the pathway to Nursing my counselor is talking about?she’s not responding at the moment so I’m really stressed
Any help would be appreciated!

So
I’m trying to apply at mru for nursing and it’s asking for mru if number ? Where do I get that now ? I have my gotten any mail abt that

Hello guys, I’m really stuck 😭 My university applications open October 1, and I did Grade 10 in my home country, Grade 11 in a different province in Canada, and Grade 12 in another province.
My counselor told me I have to contact both schools and have them send my transcripts directly to the universities because they won’t accept transcripts sent by me personally.
Has anyone been in the same situation?? How did you do it? I’m trying to figure it out and my counselor is helping me, but I’m so confused 😭 It’s genuinely making my head spin.

For MRU admissions, if you retake a high school course and end up with a lower mark than your original attempt, do they use the higher mark or the most recent mark? I know MRU calculates the competitive average using the highest Group A courses, but I’m specifically wondering how they treat repeated courses and I’m thinking abt redoing one course so what should I do ????

Hlo I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, but I haven’t really done enough research yet. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts on social media saying that religion was created by men because it mainly benefits or praises men, and that every religion puts women down. Since Sikhism openly teaches equality, it made me wonder what to think about all of this. I’m not trying to make it personal or target any religion I know some religions are criticized for not promoting equality in the same way. I was just wondering if there’s any research or evidence on this topic or any personal opinions..??
why Sikhism seems to place such a strong emphasis on equality compared to some other religions. Do you think it’s because Sikhism is a relatively newer religion and developed during a different point in history, when there was more awareness about equality? Or do you think those teachings were something unique that Sikhism introduced on its own?
The main evidence I know of is the line about women giving birth to kings and asking, ਸ**ੋ ਕਿਉ ਮੰਦਾ**** ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿ****ਤੁ **ਜੰਮਹਿ ਰਾਜਾਨ
How can she be considered inferior? as well as the teachings that reject the idea of menstruation being impure. Besides those, what other teachings or passages support women’s equality in Sikhism?

Hlo everyone,,, I’m 19 and I’ve been feeling really confused about something.

Whenever I try to reconnect with Gurbani or pray, I get this weird heaviness in my chesttt,, It almost feels like stress, and I instantly feel sad and just want to stop. I don’t really deal with anxiety but I had a similar feeling before when I was really stressed with school
I think it might be guiltt ,, I don’t pray regularly and sometimes I go months without it. Most of the time I only try to reconnect when I’m going through something so I end up feeling like I’m only remembering Waheguru when I need help, and that makes me feel selfish
For some context, I grew up in Punjab but moved abroad with my parents in my early teens. Looking back, I think that was the time I slowly drifted away from Sikhi. I had to adjust to a completely different environment and fit in,, I don’t blame anyone else, I think I just got disconnected over time.
I still like learning about Sikhi, listening to Katha, and reading about it, but actually sitting down to pray or connect feels so hard noww. Every time I try I just feel emotional and doomed like I could cry or quit after a few minutes.
Has anyone else gone through this? Is this guilt or is it something else??? And how do you reconnect without feeling so overwhelmed???? Tysmm

Does anyone know where I can take Punjabi 30 and Aboriginal Studies 30 online in Alberta?
I need to complete both in one semester and finish before December for university admissions.
I’ve heard Golden Hills offers Aboriginal Studies 30, but I have no idea where to take Punjabi 30 online. If anyone has taken either course or knows of a school that offers them, I’d really appreciate your recommendations tysmmm

I’ve always had medium-density hair not thick, but not thin either. After I was diagnosed with PCOS, I started shedding a lot of hair, and it became noticeably thinner. I have high testosterone and several other PCOS symptoms, so I don’t think my hair loss is only caused by testosterone.
My main question is: if you have PCOS and eventually get your hormones under control, is it possible to grow hair that’s thicker and healthier than you’ve ever had before? That’s honestly my dream. Has anyone with PCOS experienced major hair improvement after managing their condition?

What are the teachings of Sikhi about marriage? What does Gurbani say about love, relationships, and married life? What are the dos and don’ts according to Sikh teachings? Is dating considered a sin in Sikhi?

Hi everyone,
I recently had an appointment with an MRU Nursing admissions advisor, and I’m a bit confused about how the competitive average is calculated.
She told me they would use two Group A courses to calculate my competitive average: one prerequisite course (such as English, Math, Biology, or Chemistry) and one other eligible Group A course (such as Social Studies, a second language, etc.).
She also said that my other required courses (English, Math, Biology, Chemistry, etc.) still need to meet the minimum requirement of 60%, but it sounded like once they meet the minimum, they aren’t used in the competitive average. We then moved on to talking about CASPer.
Did I understand this correctly? Does this mean I mainly need to ace those two courses for my competitive average, while my other required courses can stay in the 70s as long as they meet the minimum requirements? Or do higher marks in the other required courses still improve my competitiveness?

How do you guys choose your career or future path? I’m honestly really confused🫩

I was just finishing my ApplyAlberta application for MRU Open Studies for Fall 2026, but when I got to the institution selection page it said MRU applications are temporarily unavailable due to system maintenance and to try again after a certain date.
I know it’s a bit late in the admission cycle, so I was wondering if Open Studies is still accepting applications or if it’s already full.
Has anyone applied recently or knows if there’s still space available?

Diploma marks are out how do I see my blended overall grade guysss

Are they coming out on July 17 or 21 ?

Hello, I wanted to talk about something I’ve been struggling with for a long time. I’m finding it a lot harder to fight my insecurities and the way I see myself.
When I was 16, I got diagnosed with PCOS, and that was also the time when I had terrible acne all over my face. I had to go to school every day with my face like that, and it was very hard. I felt like people were judging me, but the hardest part was how much I started judging myself. I would constantly criticize myself and make myself feel worse because of the things happening to my body and I have eczema since birth that makes me feel even worse,,,
Things started to change when I found my boyfriend or honestly, my ex. He made me feel loved and accepted. But even after talking for two years, I still wasn’t ready to fully open up about my insecurities because it was a long-distance relationship. I kept thinking that if he saw me in person, he would regret choosing me. We had such a strong bond for such a long time, but I still couldn’t open up about what I have on my body, my PCOS, or how much it affects the way I feel about myself. I think the fear was that he would see me differently and think I wasn’t complete.
Now that I’m 19, whenever I’m stressed, overwhelmed with my studies, or dealing with anything difficult, my PCOS immediately comes back into my mind. Sometimes I don’t even know if it’s the situation itself or if my brain automatically goes back to thinking about my insecurities.
I do want to date, but I have a lot of fear around it. I hate talking about my insecurities and PCOS, but at the same time, I want someone I can trust someone I can talk to openly and feel comfortable with. It is so hard to let somebody get that close to me, close enough that they can ask about my insecurities or tell me that they are completely okay and that they still see me the same way. The fear feels so huge, and I’m extremely sensitive to even one negative comment about my body. Because of that, I sometimes don’t even try getting close to people because I’m scared of being judged.
I keep wondering if I rely too much on other people’s opinions or if I’m struggling to love myself because I have this feeling that I’m incomplete. I worry that I’ll never be loved the way I want to be loved or that I’ll always be loved less because of my body insecurities. Whenever someone compliments me and calls me beautiful, my first thought is, “Have you not seen my symptoms?” or “Should I tell you?” Instead of accepting the compliment, I end up avoiding it.
I don’t know if I’m avoiding dating because of my PCOS, because I’m afraid of being vulnerable, or because I simply have too much going on emotionally. There are things I have been able to control, but there are also things that don’t feel possible to control, and that makes everything feel even harder.
I know I need to learn how to love and accept myself, but this is not how I imagined my teenage years ending. I never imagined spending so much time worrying about my body, my insecurities, and whether someone would truly accept me.
I’m just trying to understand myself better. I want to know how to handle these feelings, how to accept love and compliments without questioning them, and how to believe that I am still worthy of being loved exactly as I am.

Heyy so I’m trying to learn more about the different ways people get into nursing because I recently found out about options like Open Studies and transferring from another program which I didn’t know existed.
Besides applying directly from high school, what other pathways are there to enter a BSN/RN program?

Was Suleiman the Magnificent’s favorite son actually Şehzade Mehmed or Şehzade Mustafa?
Soo ik people say Mustafa was the obvious heir because he was so popular with the army and the public. But some pppl say Suleiman clearly favored Mehmed, especially since he seemed devastated after Mehmed died and built the Şehzade Mosque in his honor.
Is there any historical evidence showing which son Suleiman actually preferred, or is it mostly speculation based on his actions?

Is it okay to date or marry someone from a different religion, especially Islam? What are your thoughts on it? Does Sikhism have any rules about this or not
