Hello. I am an incoming gr12 student this fall. And my question is: Current students from Ontario Tech university I need the REAL experience before I apply be brutally honest 👀

FYI: This Post is a little long**😭😭**which includes the program I feel interest about and following up with some question. I apologize for the long post but I will appreciate all of your time and advise. Also imagine how long it took me to research, type it down 😭😭 Please READ TILL END🙏)

So I wanna apply to med school and I have couple of undergrad program in mind which are

-Biological Science

-Biomedical Science

-Chemical Biology

-Environmental Biology

-Health Science

-Human Health Sci

-Kinesiology

-Marine Biology

-Neuro Science

-Psycology

-Public health

1)I'd love to hear from current students about workload, professors, social life, co-op, research opportunities, etc.

2)How difficult are exams?

3. Which one needed supp app?

4)How competitive are grades and GPA? As this is very important for Med school.

5)How hard is research to get? Co-op, internship?

6. Which program good preparation for med school? Any other program with strong med school pipeline?

7. What do you love or hate?

8. And finally after this experience will you still choose Ontario Tech University and the program you are in?

Thank you for reading so far. I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much

Hey everyone,
I’m transferring to Ontario Tech this September for Electrical Engineering, and I’m trying to start off strong academically.
For current students or recent grads, what helped you get a good GPA (3.5+ or ideally 4.0+) in engineering at Ontario Tech?
I’d especially appreciate advice on:
How you study for midterms and finals
How far in advance you start studying
Whether you rely mostly on lecture notes, textbooks, past exams, or practice problems
How you manage 5 courses at the same time
How important it is to attend every lecture/tutorial
Which resources on campus are actually helpful
Mistakes you made that hurt your GPA
Anything specific to Electrical Engineering courses
Since I’m transferring, I want to improve my study habits from day one rather than figuring everything out after the first round of midterms.
Any advice from people who have managed to maintain a strong GPA at Ontario Tech would be really appreciated. Thanks!

What engineering major? Which industry, and salary?

Looking for some courses to boost my gpa. Any advice or suggestions r appreciated :)

Going into 2nd year for mechatronics. How much free time will I have for things like clubs and projects? Doing a full course load.

So as the title says im going into computer science at Ontario Tech this fall, what can i expect from the program? I know how to code and been doing it for a while (i know python and c#) but i'm also not the best at math nor did i really enjoy it at all in high school but i heard Calc 1 and Phys 1 are quite difficult. Also i did hear because this a commuter school there isn't as much of a social scene so whats that about exactly.

^what backpacks do you guys have?
i'm looking for something sturdy,multiple compartments, budget-friendly.

i'm currently looking at bagsmart bags so if you guys have them lmk how the quality is

I even thought it's not that late to register since the deadline is somewhere in September. I know that I'm cooked and it's my fault, my lesson. I didn't expect that they only offer 1-2 sessions per course (which is significant less than ones in my previous years). Btw I asked the advisor and she told me she will add me to the waiting list in case if there are extra seats; BUT it's not 100% guaranteed I will have the seat. There is also no specific time to know if more seats will be added.

Anyone know cases like this if eventually more seats will be added for people in the waiting list?
(Idk why even course's availability is so limited that I will have to wait 1-2 years to take. I don't wanna spend money on courses that don't relate to my major).
tks:<

Any one hear back about getting the PASS job?

1. When is it expected to get a response

2. how good are the chances of getting a job (in first year)

3. what are some recommended jobs?

As the tile. I'm in mechatronics but could I take more mechanical engineering courses? I understand there is some overlap between majors, however, is there a possibility I can take more mechanical engineering specific courses like vibrations etc etc?
