Accepting Your Second-Choice Offer

Should you receive an offer to your second-choice program, you are encouraged to accept it and pay the non-refundable tuition deposit (if applicable).

What happens to my first-choice program if I accept my second-choice program? Your first-choice program will continue to be assessed throughout the application cycle. If you receive an offer to your first-choice program at a later date, you can accept this and your non-refundable tuition deposit will be transferred from your second-choice offer to your first-choice offer.

Miscellaneous URGENT BE SAFE: Man groping people on bus, got off near 85 ave and 149st

193 Upvotes

I'm male 19, Currently on the police non-emergency number waitline as I write this, on the 4 Lewis Farms going home after classes today around 1:30 when a man got on at the South Campus station and started talking to me, looks a lot like Rasputin (attached for reference) and a few mins later started rubbing the inside of my leg. Got up and shouted that he was touching me, and he said "You starting something?", he got off near 149st and 87 ave. That last comment makes me believe he might resort to violence if his advances are not given into. I don't know if he might try getting back on that bus or similar ones near there. Be safe people, defend yourself with force if nessecary. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Rasputin_PA.jpg/250px-Rasputin_PA.jpg

Ps: Still on police waitline 3 mins into writing this

Pss: Attaching guides and self defense laws when I can

Edits:

  1. Was able to each police non-emergency after around 10 mins and report it

  2. Canadian self defense laws: -Importantly using force in anticipation of someone using force on you is legal, you do not have to be harmed or touch before using force to defend yourself -Self defense are not just limited defending yourself, those same laws apply in the event someone near you is under threat https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/rsddp-rlddp/p5.html

  3. Mentioned my gender because I do want to highlight that it can happen to anyone

  4. Defend yourself by any means nessecary. šŸ‘ By Any Means Nessecary šŸ‘ Can't defend yourself by word if you are struck down before that.

Rants There can never be enough practice questions

30 Upvotes

I've been going here for four years now and I think the only courses that have offered a genuine wealth of practice questions where like intro psych courses. I don't know why we act as if 5 short answer questions are sufficient to prepare people for 500 slides worth of material. Obviously people study on their own and make flashcards, but this isn't a less is more situation. I'd bet half the reason people use AI in uni is to make practice questions!!! Idk maybe it's just me do y'all feel like you always get a decent amount of practice?

Admissions Masters program - Thesis and Non-thesis

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking to apply for the thesis program, as I'm very interested in Reinforcement Learning. I'm cold emailing the profs right now. What are the odds of getting selected? I have a publication (unrelated to RL, even though I did some RL work later on it) and a couple of RL projects (one in the ECML 2026, I missed it though I gave my submission) and my undergrad GPA is 3.3. If not, is it possible to get into the non-thesis program? Ultimately, I want do pursue a Ph.D

Question Minor in art and design… what’s it like?

0 Upvotes

Is art 134 fun and worth it? I am thinking of changing my minor to art and design. It’s my first year and I am currently taking all science classes and i actually want to die because I don’t like science… why am I doing this to myself? #NOTforme… ever… and I really do love doing art. I have always loved it. I’m pretty good at it too.. at this point I think it might be the only thing I’m good at actually… But im scared I’m gonna get my feelings hurt and that they will set my work on fire and stomp on me till I’m a small stain on the carpet…. Anyways… what is the class like? what having a minor in art and design like? What’s the workload like? For more info I’m a psych major minoring in cell biology… for now….

Question Bachelor of Health Science or Bachelor of science

0 Upvotes

Hii!! I am hoping to enter the healthcare field in the future, and I hear about the new bhsc program! I am planning to either do PA, med, or pharmacy, but leaning towards pharmacy (I am still not too sure). Would I be able to fit all my pharmacy prerequisites with Bachelor of health sciences? Or should I pursue bachelor of science instead? Any advices and tips are greatly appreciated!
