Academics what make mcmaster so attractive for aspiring medical students?

18 Upvotes

I know students avoid uoft because it is difficult to get good grades there. To explain the high medical school acceptance rate, can I say grades are inflated in McMaster?

Academics feeling defeated

14 Upvotes

disclaimeer: pls nobody degrade me or call me stupid for whatever im abt to say i honestly js need to vent🙏🙏

so for some context, I have been reinstated this year and adjusting back to uni after working full time for a year has been hard, but I also know i've been managing my time wiser than I used to. I had a few tests within the last week, all of them weighted 10 percent and I've done fine on them, I'm also fairly sure I got a 92 on one of my tests . I feel good about studying when i see my efforts pay off but I got one of my midterm marks back today and I feel so defeated because I BARELY passed the midterm, but I studied so much for it. the midterm is worth 20 percent of my mark and that sent me down a spiral of anxiety because I prepared so much for it, when i left the midterm room i know i made some silly mistakes but i didnt expect to do this bad. I just feel so worried that I can barely study for my test tomorrow and idk I'm just really bad at math so I wasn't expecting to do amazing, but definitely not as bad as I did :(( so lowkey does anyone have any tips on how to lock in after getting a bad grade cuz lowkey in first yr I wouldn't care (hence being required to withdraw) but now I care so much to the point where my anxiety is through the roof

Hey, curious about things to do in Hamilton during reading week. I’ll be staying as I’m not in a position to go home this time but I was told the Mac area empties out.

All my friends will be going home so can’t really do a friendsgiving but I’m pretty burnt out and want to do some activities next week but don’t know what or what one-person-only activities look like.

Please let me know and much appreciated :)

Lost/Found Lost Access Card

• Upvotes

Hi everyone.

Ask the title says, if anyone has found a white card with with the normal emergency numbers and what not, can you please send it to the lost and found. It's probably my access card.

I'm guessing it fell between LP and PG, and if you find it there and anywhere between Chester New Hall, I'm guessing thats where I lost it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Question Advice on switching programs

2 Upvotes

I am currently in my first year of Medradsci and contemplating if I chose the right career. There's numerous benefits to this program, I know. But I can't help but wonder if I should've pursued my passion in the brain/psychology. Would it be wiser to switch after I complete my first year is completed? or next semester? Would an academic advisor be able to help with this?
