Has anyone stayed in the UniLodge single rooms. Was keen to know what the study environment there is like.

The purpose of gen eds are to help you explore other disciplines, that is to allow you to take papers that you may find interesting. I could tell you a easy gen ed to take, but you might end up not liking it at all; worsening your GPA.Hi guys, I am already enroled in first year biomed 2021 and I am having difficulties in choosing a Gen Ed paper that fits into my schedule AND is not tricky. I personally would not prefer doing the phil 105G paper as I have gotten an overview of it and it sounds bad. Any possible recommendations? Thank you so much for your help and I hope you enjoy the rest of your holidays
I wrote a bit more on the previous page about this but ECON 151G is pretty decent and very crammable. I managed an A+ on the final just by doing an entire sem's worth of stuff in 2 days (plus a little bit of work every week- I'm talking like 1hr a week).Hi guys, I am already enroled in first year biomed 2021 and I am having difficulties in choosing a Gen Ed paper that fits into my schedule AND is not tricky.

To be entirely honest with you, my advice is to stop winging it and cramming last minute. If you want to get into med you're going to have to put in consistent effort. Besides the short-term, you will need to learn to do that to retain the information you'll need to be a doctor.Life update guys… Semester 1 finally over and heading off to sem2! I have looked into all of your suggestions but unfortunately non of them fit into my schedule At the end I chose FRENCH 101 and managed to get a 88.67% with barely any effort other than cramming the night before my two tests. Managed to score a decent 80 something in both tests but severely winged my final oral test! Lucky for me this year we don’t have to do an exam so the course work counted quite a bit but I’m quite happy with what I’ve got!
Also I need life advice, I winged my biosci107 and got a really bad grade I.e. a B (I passed but a pass is not good enough for me to try for clinical pathways) non of my other papers are out yet and I’m not sure how I should continue living anymore. I have disappointed my parents hugely and I felt really guilty cause they got me an iPad for me to learn better in uni but it seemed like it didn’t help me much. I don’t help out a lot around the house either and I know that I did not give my all for these 3 core papers so I cannot confidently tell them I tried my hardest. I am now rotting in my life, no motivation to wake up and study for UCAT and had multiple breakdowns during the year but I still want to pursue med (I’m hopeless ;-. Any advice on sem2 and potentially UCAT will be greatly appreciated and sorry for making you listen to my rant.
First of all I think it is really nice that you have taken the time to reflect and congrats on doing well for French 101. I think that many others have been and will be in your place right now and you are definitely not alone.Life update guys… Semester 1 finally over and heading off to sem2!

Interview offers are given to everyone who has a GPA of above 6 across all 8 papers. I'm not sure about the personal statement cos I didn't have to do it (not that I would have time to during sem 2 with medsci being the biggest pain in the butt).Also regarding the winging my tests, I guess the intense atmosphere in the community made me feel like I don’t have a passion for med in comparison to other students who have a “med or dead” attitude, perhaps that really lowered down my self confidence in sem 1.
In addition, I am actually not quite sure of the medicine application process, haha sounds stupid coming from me who wants to do med. So I heard that I have to write up a personal statement and apply to the programme through the application portal (or sso? Idk). Is that true? Also when do the applications start? I originally and immaturely thought that I have applied to clinical pathways so that means I would get an automatic interview? Now I’m confused can someone please clear my confusion for me?
I can definitely feel how the "med or dead" attitude seems to present around. Especially with the anticipation of grades and the constant comparison. I think that just keep going with your confidence in semester 2 because at the end of the day no one knows who you are and what you have been through then yourself. Hence, don't let others affect your belief in yourselfAlso regarding the winging my tests, I guess the intense atmosphere in the community made me feel like I don’t have a passion for med in comparison to other students who have a “med or dead” attitude, perhaps that really lowered down my self confidence in sem 1.

That wasn't the case in 2019 at least. My friend applied to both med and optom and he had a very good chance for optom. However, he was rejected for optom and when he asked it was because he didn't put it as first choice and there were too many applications for optom that year.Also I think that your application to each course is treated as indepedent and as there are people who received offers for both Med and Optometry despite putting Med as their first prefence
Oh my apologies. Perhaps I might be mistaken and this is the case for people who get into med getting into both whereas without getting into med, as you said you might be disadvantaged for Optom if it is not your first preference.That wasn't the case in 2019 at least.

Idk about that cause I applied for optom and med and I got offers for both in that yearThat wasn't the case in 2019 at least.

That's really strange then because I explicitly remember hearing about what I said from my friend.Idk about that cause I applied for optom and med and I got offers for both in that year
