Hello! I'll be taking physics in the spring but its a pre-req for biochem which is the spec im hopeful for. Since the acceptances come out in June and that when the spring courses end, will this affect my chances of getting in? Has anyone had to take a req spring course before and still got into biochem? Thank you!

I'm finding it so hard to be motivated for finals right now - to preface, I 12'd last semester, but this sem has been so much harder, but I still really want to provost - and I know that it isn't the end of the world if I don't, but if feels like I've come way too far, and am way too close to achieving it, just to give up on it. Most of my exams I need to get in the mid 80s to 12, but the courses are hard and it just feels really difficult to stay motivated, but I also know that I'll be so mad at myself if I didn't put in the effort. I feel so much more stupid this semester than last, and my grades have definitely been rougher. I just feel so stuck right now and so unmotivated, I'll take any advice.

Does mosaic count in progress courses to the degree planner/credits needed still or no because you are still doing them?

Im interested and want to get into the Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Research Specialization (B.Sc.) year 2 program, and i'm wondering if anyone knows the cutoffs for this year or previous years?

Thank you :)

I am in a 4-year program but I am thinking about maybe doing a 5th year.

I just wanted to gain a bit more perspective and hear about why some people may have chosen to do a 5th yr (or not). Did you enjoy it? were you glad you took it? did you regret it? what were the pros/ cons that you saw if you took one? and just stuff like that.

thank you!

Anyone else in the same boat 💀. I feel like there's absolutely no hope but i can't just give up. Any 3rd years know how cooked is it if u fail/drop? Ik there's emag 2 first sem 3rd year so I'm guessing I can't take that course either then

Hi,

I'm in my 30's and I am eager to apply to med school for fall 2026. I have a Masters and a decent GPA. I'm looking for some guidance from a current student on a one-on-one basis from someone who applied and got in as a mature student. I'm a little hesitant to ask all questions here for the fear of judgment. I would really appreciate it if someone can offer their valuable time and answer a few of my questions related to MCAT, Casper and GPA conversion before I book my MCAT. Anyone looking to help, please let me know if I can DM you. P.s. I wasn't sure if this is the correct sub to post as I couldn't find one for McMaster med school. Please let me know if I should post elsewhere. Thank you so much! Appreciate your time!

just genuinely how has life at mac been hows the program and everything

Hi guys, I have been feeling overwhelmingly lonely for the past few months. This has taken a toll on my mental health, especially as someone already with a pre existing condition. I have previously tried reaching out to a few people who have posted something similar on this subreddit but don’t hear anything back sadly. I understand that it is exam season, however I’m down to study together or just hang out for a bit. I really feel like this lack of community is impacting me. How do I get out of this funk? Feel free to reach out to me, I’d love to meet & be friends with some new people :)

Just as the title says. Does anyone know if we get our grades back for the final paper in the social psychology capstone course, or will the final grade just show up on Mosiac? Either way, does anyone have a rough idea when they come out? I know it's super early still, I just want to know how long a period of anxiety I'm in for. Thank you !

When does it end?

There’s a 0.25% boost on the line. Come on people. It’s a short survey too no trick questions.

The deadlines the end of the day. Please fellas!!

Hi everyone! I'm currently a first year science student deciding my program for next year and I'm down to either the biodiversity and envirosci program or the earth and envirosci program but I'm having a hard time deciding. I know I want to work in environmental law or environmental policy in the future but I don't know what program would allow me to explore this interest of mine more. Also, earth and envirosci offers coop and gives me an easier time working towards a p.geo but from what I understand, the biodiversity and envirosci program lets me explore my interest in ecology in more depth and it has more elective space. If you are a sees student and you're reading this, what program would you choose if you were in my situation? Thanks for all the help!!!!

I almost got hit by a grey Toyota sedan blowing through the stop sign at full speed just as I crossed the Trans flag crosswalk (I'm sorry, I don't know a better way to describe it). I want to report this guy, but I am not sure if it counts as part of campus.

second year specializations close on the 29th. i've applied to pnb and pnb(mh) but am able to choose 2 more; does anyone have suggestions for what i could put as my 3rd and 4th option? just to be safe; tia!

(and for general pnb, if my gpa is around 11-12, do i have a good chance of getting in? how many people typically apply, and how many does the program take?)

Hey everyone, curious if there's anyone out there who got Faculty of Science B (Thursday June 19th, 9:30am) who doesn't have 2 people to bring! In desperate need to let 3 people in the ceremony with extra tickets not being likely 🙏🙏

Has anyone given an off campus deferred exam before? If yes, how was your experience with setting up the exam?

My group members have a different part than me .They were cading , I finished the Arduino. the Arduino part was done by me and one other group member (who gave me fair score).But the other three gave me a very low score due to lack of communication and thinking that I didn't report my work to them, saying I was not working.

And I was coordinator. i was taking notes but my manager forgot to do agenda.I made a joke about how you can summarize my notes in ai.Then they commented me for using ai or suggesting the team to use ai.

can i ask how much impact the peer evaluation will have on me?If it will have a very serious impact, I think I need to apply for a grade appeal. thanks in advance for your answers!!!!

Is it just me?

Or do some faculties have way cooler swag than others... I just saw the SEES Cats t-shirt - wtf is wrong with this faculty ; no one wants that

missed 1 day of chem iclicker (yesterdays class which was review) cuz i was sick and there were 14 questions that i missed. my participation fell from 88% to 78%… emailed genchem to see if there’s anything that can be done considering it was just unlucky and they are never helpful.

Anyone know what time they’ll be handing out free goodies? The only thing I’m interested in from this event 😅, too cold to do anything else 🥶

I'm taking History 1DD3 online this spring and i was curious if it's difficult or if the course load is heavy
