So i’m working on my final thesis and I’ve used ai for some parts. I never did copy paste, I’ve mostly used it as a support to help me with the chapters in english (since it’s not my mother tongue) and to better organise my work. I’m getting very anxious for the plagiarism/ai check that my university does, is anyone ever been accused of using ai and faced serious consequences? like not being able to graduate in time or having to rewrite the whole thing?

I know I shouldn’t have use it in the first place, I have no excuse for that. I’m just trying to imagine the worst case scenario and see what I can do.

I was about to fill lu form and i want to start my
CA journey so is it would be hard to go college regularly and prepare for CA. Is it important to maintain 75%??

And and and as I'm taking the admission there and i have to give a entrance so is there any one who could just guide me about the procedure and Syllabus.

I’m curious if anyone who applied after January 15th has received any updates***—whether they’ve been accepted, shortlisted, or even invited for an interview.*** Just wondering how the process is going for everyone so far!

Tenho 19 anos, acabei o ensino médio em 2024, e ainda não sei qual faculdade fazer, me sinto bem perdida em relação a isso, sinto que não me encaixo em nenhuma faculdade, e que estou muito atrasada na vida enquanto muita gente da minha idade já sabe oq quer ou já está na faculdade, fora que nunca fui boa em nada na escola, sempre passava raspando, então tenho um pouco de medo de ter muitas dificuldades na faculdade.
As vezes eu só queria um conselho de alguém que se deu bem na vida, tipo “ vai por esse caminho, não tem erro” pq eu realmente não sei oq fazer.
Alguém poderia me dar algum conselho?

One of my friends got a zero on an essay that was worth 20% of his entire grade because he messed up a word in his citations. He used autocorrect, which changed one of his words in the citation. This was a general education class completely unrelated to his class, and now he has a "D" in this class, completely ruining his grade. Similarly, the reason he couldn't drop out of class was that the professor entered the grades at the last moment, and some of his grades were visible on Canvas the day after the final grades were released. Also, he is not the only student to face the same problem.

What is the best course of action on his part? He has sent an email to the professor, and the professor hasn't replied to it. What is the process of doing an appeal on an assignment with some external authority besides the professor? Is retaking the same class in the next or further semesters going to replace the grade?

Lastly, do grad schools/jobs/internships care if a student has a single D in a non-relevant class?

I, 19F, have been with my boyfriend, 21M for over a year and a half. We have been doing long distance since August because I moved away for college. My boyfriend is the sweetest person ever and he loves me more than anything, he has been there for me at my lowest and supports me in everything. My parents have always found something wrong with him since the beginning, first they didn’t like that he did not want to go to college (not something that bothered me bc college is a big financial decision and he still wants to do something with his life, he is one of the most hardworking people I know) though now he is considering going to college. Parents did not want him to become a distraction going into college (which they blatantly told him) and he truly was not. He always tells me the number one priority for me should be my studies and when we talk on the phone or facetime he always makes sure I have finished homework and studying. I returned from college two weeks ago and my birthday was last week, they are now upset that he did not come to visit me or bring me a gift, when in reality he asked me if he could come over to celebrate with us, but they are so strict to the point I feel uncomfortable when he’s here because of them so I told him no. He is not allowed in my room and we are only allowed to sit in the living room with supervision, i’m not allowed to go to his house without my brother accompanying me and we can only go out for 2-3 hours max. They always make it awkward and uncomfortable for me, and I always feel bad for him in these situations. He is so willing to comply with all their rules because he truly loves me and wants my parents to accept our relationship and support us, but recently they told me that I have to break up with him, or they’ll do it for me. They threatened that if I don’t break up with him I cannot continue with my studies, and that he will never fit into our family (they believe him and his family are lower class and uneducated because of their culture and background). They break my heart telling me all of this saying they know what’s best for me and that i’ll thank them one day, but I do not want to breakup with him, I don’t know what to do. I’m still dependent on them financially. I love my parents but I love my boyfriend and they don’t understand. Advice please?

I want to study economics with the goal of studying finance. And i have to options(programs) the first uni has a European system so i can’t major in anything i study pure economics in my bachelor and then if i would like to have a finance degree i master in it, but they assured me that many of there students work in finance after their bachelor even tho they have an economics degree. The second one is more like a school of business and they don’t have econ they will let you choose your path in the first year wether it’s finance accounting management so there i can have a finance degree. I want your help with knowing which one is better from your pov and some tips to know what to look for when comparing them ( do i look at their alumni their subjects etc…). Because i really don’t want to end up with a degree that i won’t benefit from it.

Basically the title. I’ve gotten into the following programs with a 97-ish? average:
- UBC Vancouver Bachelor in Applied Science (June 1st deadline)
- Waterloo Honours Biomedical Engineering (with co-op) (June 1st deadline)
- McMaster iBioMed 1 (with co-op) [currently accepted]
- McGill Bioengineering (offer expired)
- uOttawa Biomedical Mechanical Eng (offer expired)
- Ontario Tech Biomedical Sciences (offer expired)

I’m still waiting on UofT to get into EngSci (I got waitlisted). The decision is really between UBC, UofT, Waterloo and McMaster. I didn’t wanna go to McGill because it’s supposedly a LOT of French despite being a bilingual university, which could hinder my work opportunities (unless I’ve been misinformed, please do tell me if I have been, I could talk to the admissions office and probably get my admission extended). uOttawa and Ontario Tech were my safeties.

I applied for biomedical engineering on a whim, thinking “oh you get to learn physics, chem and bio? sweet!”. I was NOT expecting to get in anywhere since I had just moved to Canada last year. I’m not even sure if I wanna do BioMed anymore; the courses look like I won’t learn a lot of physics as in-depth as I want to, aerospace has kinda caught my eye and I’m just overall a bit confused. I want to go into academia, participate in contests, do cool research and physics, but I also want to work, get a co-op term, earn money, and enjoy my life in wherever I’m going for the next 4 years. A substantial factor is also whether or not there’s a decent amount of stuff to do in whatever city it is that I‘m going to; I’m currently living in a small town in Manitoba and there isn‘t much to do, I effectively speedran this place in half a year lol.

People who are going to any of these universities/have an opinion on these programs or anything of the sort, please tell me your logic behind it. Which one would you choose, and why? I’m willing to answer any questions necessary.

Students what do you think is the best way to work hard in class without getting attention from teachers or anyone?
I mean like doing work in class without seeking attention or being noticed.

I’m an honors maths and cs major at nyu and I ended up with a 3.5 cumulative gpa for my first year. It’s so hard to get an A here. I know it’s my fault bc sometimes I got too lazy and forgot to do the homework so even if I get all As in my exams I still end up with a B+…

I want to do AI phd in the future, I just want to know does this gpa means I am saying goodbye to those top cs phd programs or is it still possible, I still dream about Stanford…

Also a quick question for those stem majors with 4.0 or 3.9, how hard do yall study? I feel like I need to lock myself in the library all day if I genuinely want to bump it up.

Öncelikle bu konunun bir reklam olmadığını, sadece liseli gençler olarak düzenlediğimiz bu etkinliğin daha fazla kişiye duyurulması amacıyla paylaşıldığını belirtmek isterim.

Kısaca: Biz 4 kişi HASBL CTF adında Jeopardy formatında olacak bir CTF düzenliyoruz, katılım linki en aşağıda mevcuttur.

Peki CTF nedir? CTF yani; Capture The Flag (Bayrağı Yakala), siber güvenlik alanında farklı kategorilerdeki becerilerimizi test etmek ve geliştirmek amacı güden bir yarışma formatıdır. Amacımız kategoriye göre verilen sorudaki açığı bularak cevaba (flag'e) erişmektir:

Kendimizden bahsetmem gerekirse biz sosyal bilimler lisesinde 11. sınıf öğrencisi olan 4 kişiyiz ve birçok CTF'e katıldıktan sonra; "Neden soru yazmayı da denemiyoruz?" dedik ve kendi CTF yarışmamızı yapmak istedik. Elimizden gelenin en iyisini yaparak bir şeyler yaptık işte...

Etkinlik detaylarına geçmek gerekirse:

Kategoriler:​

• Web: Açtığınız Instance'da zafiyet bulup flag'e ulaşmak.
• OSINT (Açık Kaynaklı Bilgi/İstihbarat): Soruda verilen foto/video, sosyal medya hesap adı vb. ortamlarda kanıt inceleme ve analiz ederek flag'e ulaşmak.
• Cryptography (Kriptografi): Şifre kırma diyebiliriz basitçe. Kod ve/veya verinin mantığını çözerek şifrelenmiş flag'i okunabilir hale getirerek flag'e ulaşmak.
• Reverse/Reverse Engineering (Tersine Mühendislik): Derlenmiş bir yazılımı yada makine kodunun bazı programları kullanarak nasıl çalıştığını çözüp okunabilir hale getirme ve flag'e ulaşmak.
• Pwn (Zaafiyet/Sömürü): Hedef olarak verilen sistemin güvenlik açıklarını bularak sisteme sızıp yetki yükseltme ve flag'e ulaşmak.
• Forensic (Adli Bilişim): Dijital kanıtların (log, disk görüntüsü, wireshark vb.) inceleyerek flag'e ulaşmak.

Kategorilerin tanımını yaparken ben bile kötü bir şey yapıyormuş hissiyatına kapıldım ama emin olun öyle bir şey yapmıyoruz kesinlikle

Hi everyone, I finished IB in Nov 2025 and I’m applying to medicine in Poland as an international student. I’ve applied to Warsaw, Silesia, and Wroclaw, but I keep hearing completely different opinions and I honestly feel really lost 😭

I’d really appreciate brutally honest advice from current students/graduates about teaching quality, support, dropout rates, reputation, and especially employability after graduation. Money itself isn’t the biggest issue for me but I’m more worried about whether these degrees are respected enough to work/get licensed in the UK, US, or elsewhere, and whether banks/employers take them seriously long-term.

Any honest experiences or advice would genuinely help so much. Thank you!

So for context I’m turning 20 in 2 weeks and am a first year studying a BSc in Physics. I actually am retaking first year because of personal issues I had in the second semester of last year and I did want to come back but now I’m second guessing my decision and feeling guilty about it. I genuinely do not care about the stuff I’m learning about but I feel like I can’t leave because of the amount of money I’ve wasted these two years with student loans and uni fees etc. My first exam of the spring semester is tomorrow and I am definitely not prepared for it (I can retake this exam this isn’t why I feel like this) but whilst I’ve been revising for it I’ve come to the conclusion that none of the content interests me in the slightest. Ik having a physics degree would be beneficial for getting a good job and that’s part of the reason I came back to it but I’m finding it hard to be motivated to get a degree I don’t like just to get a job that I most likely won’t like either. Idk if I’m just being lazy or whining and I’m sure other people don’t like their degrees but idk what to do. I like science but I don’t know if I actually like physics and this feeling will pass or I just want to like it to prove something or like the idea of it.
I feel like all of my friends are happy with where they are and what they’re doing and I just don’t feel like that. I don’t want to be left behind. I have accommodation for next year which I’m really excited about as I’m currently living at home and commuting to uni which isn’t ideal but the thought of studying the same stuff next year is not nice lol. I just want to study something I’m passionate about and be happy doing it but that’s seeming less and less likely nowadays so idk what to do.

Anyway sorry for the rant I just need some unbiased from people who aren’t my parents. Thank youuuu

Hi everyone, I'm a 2nd year engineering student at an american college and i just want to ask/talk about somethings and ask if anyone has any advice. In my first year i actually joined as an architecture student and transferred my credits at the end of my second semester to switch to engineering. I feel as if i did the right choice, but now as my second semester of my (first year in engineering, second year credits-wise) is coming to an end and grades are coming out, I've noticed that my grades have been lower than ever. Most of my final grades are out, and I seem to have failed (or almost failed) 2 courses.

I'm really stressing out and my current GPA is not the best, but I've never failed a course before. This semester alone I've already dropped one class (linear algebra) and seem to be failing a couple more. I don't know if I'll be put on academic probation, or if my scholarship will be revoked, and I also don't think i can bring myself to tell my parents either. I'm feeling very lost in navigating this situation and I would appreciate some guidance or advice from anyone in this subreddit.

I'm not a frequent poster, so i apologize in advance if I do not answer any comments promptly.
