It's my dream school but i'm a person of colour, and whenever I mention wanting to go so many people have negative things to say. Is it just rumours or should I be genuinely put off ?
Hello everyone,
I will be starting university in the health sciences program this fall, and I have a few questions I wanted to ask the students already in the program (or anyone with information)
I saw that there are 6 mandatory courses in the first year, and you get 4 electives. My goal is to go to med school, so I would like to keep a good GPA all four years. Which electives should I take that are fun and informative?
I also wanted to ask how the professors were. From what I have heard, they are not very nice and are super strict. I also saw the recent incident that happened in one of the health law courses.
How is the Health Sciences with Biology program? As I mentioned, I want to go to med school, so do you think that if I do this program, I would benefit in terms of MCAT prep, or would it most likely just hurt my GPA?
I live about 2 hours away from London, so I will have to likley live on res or get a place neaby, anyone doing either if its possible can you share the pricing?
Thank you, and I will see you guys this fall!
does western have a theatre club? or public speaking? I really want to participate in a club like that in university to help build my confidence (+ theatre is really interesting to me!!)
I am terrible at both comp sci and physics, and don't know which course will be easier to get a good mark. Which course would be better: Computer Science 1026A/B, Physics 1202A/B
What would you guys choose? Moreover what would provide a more secure future?
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!
I suck at chemistry and I’m worried I might have to go into the field of foods and nutrition at western. Is it terrible and do they reteach, I haven’t taken Chem since grade 10.
Hi all. Got a final grade of 89.46, and the final grade given was a 89 flat. Has anybody been successful in asking for a round-up? Would it be reasonable to ask my prof?
lol I think as one of the students who took that exam where the prof believed everyone cheated.
I personally actually did not cheat. I stand by that. But final grades are posted and I know I did not bust my ass studying for final grades to be posted and I get below a 50??
This whole process was terrible and I am so upset with how western handled this whole thing.
Edit: DONT POST YOUR GRADE HERE!! I don’t want anyone to get into trouble and get their identity tracked down. But wishing everyone the best! I, for one, hate how the university also completely neglected student well being here. ESPECIALLY for those of us who actually did not cheat (cause surprise! I had a feeling this would happen).
is it cuz its easier?
Its so over, they denied me entry into engineering from cs idk what to do anymore
Two of my marks are below a 70 (68 each), but my cumulative average is an 82. Would I still be able to graduate with distinction?
My professor emailed us weeks ago saying we should have gotten the feedback for our essays. So, I checked every folder in my email, and nothing. He left a note saying will be graded by the end of the week, so I didn’t stress.
I took the final, got a bad mark on it, but all my other class grades were good, so I expected to receive around a 70 on my essay.
However, I looked on my student portal at my grades, and saw I am at a failing grade of 43%, because that essay, worth 30%, is still not graded.
I’ve emailed him twice more, and nothing, I reached out to my academic advising, who agreed it seemed like he simply forgot to grade it.
Anyone have any suggestions for next steps? Thanks.
Considering doing teachers college at western because of student life that my undergrad completely lacked. But i'd be 25 then however and i do want a good program. so how is the teachers college, and how is student life at western in your mid-20s? Should i just commute to uoft cuz im from the gta. Would i feel like im generally surrounded by 17-22 year olds? I wouldn't do hoco or frats and stuff that undergrads do--but I'd probably go out to restaurants and bars often and partipate in campus clubs. is the dating scene still good for older students there?
did anyone get their final calc grades back?
Probably going to Western next year and have not been rejected from Ivey Aeo yet but I was wondering if theres anyone here who got into Ivey from second year. If so, what was your program, average, clubs you did etc? Replies are much appreciated
Hi everyone! I’m going into my second year of Med Sci and I honestly have no idea which specialization I want to choose for third year. A lot of the modules seem really interesting to me, but I don’t want to commit based only on the surface-level descriptions of the courses or what I think I’ll be learning.
If anyone is currently in third-year Med Sci (or has already completed it), I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience with your specialization. What are the biggest pros and cons? What are the courses and workload actually like? How manageable are the grades/GPA, and is there a research thesis or major research component involved?
Any insight or advice would be super helpful especially anything you wish you knew before choosing your module. Thanks!
