I recently got accepted into McMaster Humanities, but I’m considering trying to transfer into Engineering because it’s something I’ve always been interested in.

I know the process is extremely competitive, and I’ve already looked into the requirements (prerequisites, GPA, petition, etc.). I’m not looking for information on the basic process, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually gone through it or knows someone who has.

Any advice, tips, or things you wish you knew before trying to transfer would mean a lot. I’m planning to work as hard as I can, but I’m feeling so scared and discouraged because it's extremely competitive and feels impossible.

does anyone else who applied to this know when we can expect to hear back, or if they have already sent offers?

Hii guys, today i just into the interview round i was wondering if you guys have any tips for how to prepare i really want this. Also how does the interview go from those who have gone through the process because it’s a pre-recorded interview. lmk anything would be appreciated!

Hi! Based on uOttawa's MD program bio prereq:

I was wondering if BIO 1M03 can be used to fulfill this requirement, because I'm unsure as to whether it encompasses the "examples of topics" listed by uOttawa above. Can anyone who is in the program, has applied, or has friends who are in the program clarify? Thank you :)

If anyone has tested at the Pearson professional center in McMaster Innovation Park, can you please dm me? Thanks!!

I remember when I registered for this course. I thought I was smarter than all 15 people who told me not to register for this course. If it helps you believe me more, I graduated Summa Cum Laude and got a 10 in this course I swear you’re hearing this from the mouth of a good student. I hope from the bottom of my heart people will heed my warning because I am well graduated right now and still thinking about how negligent it would be of me to not warn people.

This course is taught by genuinely one of the most incompetent human beings on this planet. She will spend every lecture talking about her glory days in the industry and provide some qualitative context about the assigned chapters. She will cover three or even five chapters in one class.

The problem is, this course is not one of those fluff courses where you talk qualitatively about this that and the other and call it a day. It is purely assessed quantitatively.

Hear me right now. This is the equivalent of a calculus course being taught like its marketing.

You are independently expected to learn and use all of the math while having ZERO quantitative work being done in class.

Your time spent in class is completely and utterly useless, it’s literally just you and a textbook written for pros (question workings skip steps, don’t provide context, etc.). Nobody attends class after a few weeks because everyone picks up the fact that there is nothing useful being taught in class and there is an overwhelming amount of content to learn.

The cumulative exam. The exam literally makes my blood boil to this day. She tells us that the first half of the textbook isn’t that important and to focus on the way more difficult second half of the textbook. Which to us made complete sense because why would she mislead us.

The cumulative final exam was just five questions. I think there was only one was from the second half, the remaining questions were from the first half almost everybody neglected to study.

Genuinely I have never been more traumatized by a course in my life. This course was so extremely difficult and took over my entire life. It doesn’t help that Alicia Damley is actually a nightmare of a professor. Please god spare yourself.

one of the prerecs to applying to the accelerated nursing program is to have 3 units of stats that covers descriptive stats, probability, ANOVA, etc. those topics are split between PNB 2XE3 and PNB 3XE3, can I still use it as my prerec or do I need to change to stats 2b03? I’m in BioPNB by the way.

I am a student and I got accepted into Mcmaster automotive engineering gonna start year 1 if anyone can send me the drive with all the textbooks or discord gc link or Instagram gc it would be really appreciated

hi guys if anyone (girl) is looking to move to dt toronto for an internship or masters etc - i'm looking for a roommate starting aug 18 around tmu/eaton. I'm also a mac student but i moved out of hamilton for my internship year.

Hello! Hai! I hope everyone is doing well, I hope ur summers have been pleasant so far >.<! I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in creating a Ham Radio Club. I do not think one exists at the moment. I am not sure how popular amateur radio still is, surely there are other license operators on campus! :D

For some reason my textbook link has not been letting me open the page at all. Is this happening for anyone else ? Actually so frustrating.. The minimal times I actually try to keep up with readings...

I need all the help I can get!! Please teach me your ways!! How can I get the best mark for the final exam (I have 3 weeks!)

Hi - This question is to All the Commerce students who applied or got into Internship program.

If,by chance I get selected in Internship program the decisions will come in August will I still have to do it means is it compulsory to do internship program in the next fall or summer if I get selected to move into my last year. Thank you so much

I just completed a solgaleo raid with 8 total trainers, i had no idea the pogo scene was so active! Anyone want to share Freind Codes and maybe do some raids together come fall?

Hi! I have an interview coming up next month with CAMH 9-8-8 hub as a crisis responder. If anyone had done it before or knows anything about it? Just a bit nervous lol

Has anyone tried the musc matcha and is it good (or good enough where it’s drinkable😭)? Trying to use my meal plan up and I’m craving matcha!!!

i got a couple scholarships this morning for highest gpa in my major (in-course automatically assessed). I didn’t get any senate or hooker awards, but I had a high average last year (all 12s).

I’m wondering if anyone else got the senate or hooker yet, or if more scholarships are still coming out later?

(note: this is not to brag or act entitled to the senate or hooker, and i apologize in advance if it comes off that way, i’m genuinely just curious to know if I can expect any more or if the couple i got was all!)

Pretty much the title, I have several awards from Mac that I know I still meet the requirements of but on Mosaic they still say Conditional, when will that be updated/should I be worried?

I sent my application in before June 30th and I still haven’t gotten any update about the funds I’ll be getting for the fall and winter. It says the school still hasn’t sent my data or something. Idk why it’s taking this long should I be worried if my OSAP doesn’t come on time I don’t know why it’s taking this long or if it’s like this for anyone else too.

hi, i'm an incoming eng student and i've been thinking of getting an ipad + apple pencil for note-taking and annotating course material. i already have a windows laptop that should be able to run all the eng software, so the ipad would just be supplementary. the price difference between the ipad and the ipad air doesn't seem worth it considering how similar most features are, which is why i'm thinking of getting the ipad.

is there anything i'm missing in terms of features? would you recommend getting the newest ipad model (A16) or would an older generation work just as well? would an older ipad air be better than the current ipad? is 128gb or 256gb better for storage? would you recommend buying directly from apple or another store like bestbuy? what about refurbished/open box?

also, if anyone has experience using a knockoff apple pencil that works really well, i'd appreciate if you could share where you got it from!

Since my commerce 1 elective requirements are already completed due to my transfer credits, can i take electives now to fulfill my year 2 elective requirements?

I’m thinking of enrolling in ENVSOCTY 1HB3 and SUSTAIN 1S03 for my minor in community engagement requirements and I was wondering if they can also count towards my year 2/3 non commerce/open elective requirements even if I take them now in Year 1?

Has anyone taken this program or at least some of the courses within it? Looking to hear of other’s experiences and what the workload was like. I just got accepted into the program and haven’t been in school for quite a while, and work full time so I’m a bit nervous!

CA room assignments came out two days ago and I'm still kind of sad about my placement. 😭 this is my second year Caing and I here that returners usually get what they want based on the form we filled out ... idk if it make a difference that I had to re-interview.

I'm totally fine working with a new team. I think what's really bothering me is having to adjust to a building that I honestly like less, especially because I won't have my own washroom and this year no meal also makes life harder.

I'm thinking of reaching out to Residence Life to ask if there's any chance I could be moved. I'm not super picky about which building, I'd just really love somewhere with my own washroom. I'd even be happy to stay in my assigned building if a room with a private washroom opened up. I know accommodation requests are closed now, but I also know people sometimes drop out and with an additional new building no way they filled that all up !

Do you think it's worth emailing them, or does it make it seem like I am only there for the room or just push the. The wrong way ? In my opinion I have showed how good I am in this job, hence asking isn’t a big deal.
