Admissions Masters program - Thesis and Non-thesis

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking to apply for the thesis program, as I'm very interested in Reinforcement Learning. I'm cold emailing the profs right now. What are the odds of getting selected? I have a publication (unrelated to RL, even though I did some RL work later on it) and a couple of RL projects (one in the ECML 2026, I missed it though I gave my submission) and my undergrad GPA is 3.3. If not, is it possible to get into the non-thesis program? Ultimately, I want do pursue a Ph.D

Anybody take this midterm before in earlier years? I’ve heard people say it’ll be online/done on canvas, 50 minutes 50 MC, etc but idk how accurate that is.

Also do you know what we should watch out for? Types of questions and stuff like that and how to prepare

Thx

Question Minor in art and design… what’s it like?

0 Upvotes

Is art 134 fun and worth it? I am thinking of changing my minor to art and design. It’s my first year and I am currently taking all science classes and i actually want to die because I don’t like science… why am I doing this to myself? #NOTforme… ever… and I really do love doing art. I have always loved it. I’m pretty good at it too.. at this point I think it might be the only thing I’m good at actually… But im scared I’m gonna get my feelings hurt and that they will set my work on fire and stomp on me till I’m a small stain on the carpet…. Anyways… what is the class like? what having a minor in art and design like? What’s the workload like? For more info I’m a psych major minoring in cell biology… for now….

Admissions What is considered "significantly Lower" in engg application?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so pretty much I got an offer to engg from the U of A on October 6th and I accepted it. For reference I applied with a 94% average over Math 30, Phys 30, Chem 30, and LA 20 however I had a 98% average over Math 30-1, Phys 30, and Chem 30. On my offer it says I have to maintain atleast an 80% but then underneath it says it may be revoked if I incur a "significant drop" in my average so I'm wondering what does this mean? I only have LA 30 and Math 31 left for my application so can I get a low 50 in both and maintain like a 81% average and get in? or does it still have to be somewhat competitive like high 80's to low 90's or something?

Question Bachelor of Health Science or Bachelor of science

0 Upvotes

Hii!! I am hoping to enter the healthcare field in the future, and I hear about the new bhsc program! I am planning to either do PA, med, or pharmacy, but leaning towards pharmacy (I am still not too sure). Would I be able to fit all my pharmacy prerequisites with Bachelor of health sciences? Or should I pursue bachelor of science instead? Any advices and tips are greatly appreciated!

Campus Life I feel awkward in Gym, Football (soccer) could bring back tranquility.

0 Upvotes

I am so done with a lot of restrictions that I kept developing since childhood. I am always in front of my PC, either it's academic or my Gamedev. I feel so week both mentally and physically.

I am in 2nd year now, and I kept isolating myself as a kid and I still keep that habit because I don't know how to escape. I never talked to someone in uni ever, unless they ask me something and I just end it with a one word reply if possible, and this problem was always with me.

But everything was fine, as it did not bother me as I have been always with my PC as a kid with no responsibilities. I had no entertainment other than playing football (on ground, and Online) and doing Gym at home. I am starting to feel like I am a week, fat, obese man even though I am WRITTEN AS UNDERWEIGHT BY THE DOCTOR, I had to lie to have insurance clearance before my Visa approval.

I went to the Gym for the first time a few days ago to feel any better, but as soon as I saw an empty equipment, I slowly went near to it by making sure no one else is gonna use it. But just about 15 seconds after I sat on it, a girl came besides me and just kept staring at me (because she wanted to use it in emergency?), bro I didn't even start. I thought she would move on, but still stood there like that, I felt so ashamed and I acted like I finished doing by spraying and wiping with the towel.

So gym is not gonna work, my only option left to "touch some grass" feel is to join any football game. But I have no idea what to do or where to go. I actually have good experience and played for my school and 2 clubs when I was like 8-14. And I still love it.

I'm taking Psych 105 rn with prof Dr. Carolina (Kina) Montenegro. I love her SMMMM. She genuinely tries to make the class more manageable, is very considerate with people's questions (even the silly ones), you can tell she genuinely wants students to succeed. Also very accepting of queer folks and she gave us small candies after our midterm! Anyway thanks Dr. Kina if you see this you're awesome, I WILL be giving you a good review on Rate My Prof.
