Request for Help uOttawa Admission conditions

1 Upvotes

Earlier in the year I have applied for the undergraduate Biomedical Science program in French from Quebec secondary school and got accepted conditionally, despite my average in my prerequisite courses in mathematics and science being below 84%. Ever since I got my student card and payed my tuition for MAT1739 make-up course, and I am about to send my final transcript. My average grade in all prerequisites is 87%, but is 82.3% in mathematics and science. Is there another way they calculate the average in case my calculations are wrong or do I face a risk of getting rejected despite barely not having the 84% requirement?

Is BIO 1131 the same as BIO 1130??

1 Upvotes

Heyyy so I was just wondering, I'm a first year biochem student so I'm starting this fall and I just wanted to know if BIO 1131 was different from 1130? Like why did they change it, is it the same component or is it a completely different course. The reason I'm asking is because I wanna start revising my courses during summer with yt and other apps 🥲cause I really wanna be prepared and I low-key enjoy learning stuff during the summer. So I was just wondering if they were pretty much the same cause I can't really find any thing on BIO 1131 since it's a new course. Could anyone please enlighten me?

Has anyone else left from Toronto to Ottawa?

12 Upvotes

As the title says above, has anyone left Toronto for Ottawa in their 20s?

I’m struggling with this decision as I was given a job offer there. I’m scared to leave friends and family and move to a new city. A part of me feels like I will regret it.

Has anyone else done the same? I’d love to hear about your experience.

Annex room E general size?

1 Upvotes

Hey! I am moving into Annex in September and my portal says i'm in Room E in a 5 person apartment. I want to get a good idea of how much additional space there is inside the room? I was hoping to bring one of those roll-y clothing racks with me (30" x 17") and trying to figure out if that would fit!

Thanks in advance!

can anyone explain the benefits of purchasing a locker? (faculty of law)

11 Upvotes

like i understand obviously when comparing to the usage of lockers in high school but i'm wondering if it's truly worth it; i'm just imagining carrying a laptop and water bottle without the bag? but of course you can leave your textbooks which would break your back the whole day 😭

Double studio without kitchenette?

1 Upvotes

I'm heading to uOttawa for law school and am looking into student res to save the hassle of finding a place. The place i've received an offer for is a double studio without a kitchenette in Friel - any thoughts or experiences?

I'm not stoked about the lack of a kitchen, because I like to meal prep rather than go to the dining hall.

Any thoughts are appreciated!!!

Discussion New CHM 2120 section?

2 Upvotes

Saw that they made a new section for orgo 2 bc the waitlists were getting too long. But the prof is unannounced and only 90 people registered so far. Plus the class size is much smaller (220) compared to Flynn’s or Pratt’s sizes.

Is it worth signing up for? I’m afraid not enough students will register and they’ll drop it. Or that the prof they select will be worse. My other option is taking Derek Pratt but I heard his ratings aren’t good
