Hi all! I might be relocating to North York (near North York General Hospital) and I know close to nothing about the area. I’m looking to rent and be close enough to walk or take a short commute on public transit to the hospital area.

My partner is also commuting west to Mississauga and I’m trying to make their life as easy as possible too.

Any recommendations for condos, neighborhoods, or general areas? What’s it like? All insight is appreciated!!

Just need to get this off my chest to a community who might understand 🥲

A close friend and I both applied to lots of programs (outside of med too) and I knew i wasn’t competitive for med due to some past unfortunate circumstances, but I wanted to do it anyway and at least apply once.

Naturally I reached out to see if they wanted to talk about the process/chat in general. I was super transparent about my position and let them know when I didn’t receive interviews to med etc.

They were pretty cold from the start and then i found out they’ve been lying the whole time about receiving interviews and moving through. They wouldn’t even tell me what schools they applied to! It’s so confusing because all I’ve wanted to be is supportive and communicate that I’m not here to compete.

On top of that, finding out that they have significantly embellished certain areas of their identity on their app is off putting as well. I’m not sure if I’m surprised though, the things I’ve heard about people lying on their applications/AI-ing everything seems to be insanely common.

If anyone has been through something similar I would love to hear what you did. Good luck to everyone awaiting an acceptance!

I'm starting to put together my final thesis manuscript for my MSc, and idk how people leave all of their writing to the last minute! It blows my mind.

I've seen people here and in my program say they waited until the month before to start from basically 0. I've had my draft going since I enrolled, and I'm still grinding all day to polish it. People amaze me.

Also, that post about hating your thesis as you approach your defence has never been more real rn lol.
