9jaPreMed Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Are you sure about not being able to take PHYS1420 if you take Grade 12 Physics? SC/PHYS 1420 6.00 Physics with Applications to Life Sciences A survey of physics in which many fundamental concepts are emphasized through applications to the life sciences. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, momentum and energy for linear and rotational motion; elementary kinetic theory and thermodynamics; static and current electricity; waves and physical and geometrical optics; elements of modern physics. This is a calculus-based course recommended for students unlikely to take 2000-level Physics courses. It includes a three-hour laboratory component, normally in alternating weeks. Prerequisites: 12U Physics or OAC Physics Very surprised. All my friends who took Phys 1420 said it was easier and it was a replacement/alternative for Physics 12U. Ill have to double check on that one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsdbja95 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 The first year chem department at York is a joke. Now that I have finished both CHEM 1000 and CHEM 1001 I can wholeheartedly say that they are ridiculously unfair in their marking, more so for CHEM 1001 I found. I submitted 2 out of my 3 quizzes for remarking and I was still not completely satisfied with the remarking. Some might say it is simply my opinion that the marking is unfair, so I'd like some support of any one else has encountered similar problems. Also, one question on my exam was given 1.5/6 FOR NO REASON. I got it changed and that boosted my final grade by one letter. Yes, I am glad that they changed it. No, I am not glad that I had to actively complain to get them to give me the mark that I worked for. That is all for my rant. Agreed. 1001's marking was brutal! I clearly wrote the right answer, TA just crosses it, writes something COMPLETELY wrong on top of it, and gives me a 0. Some TA's just amaze me... Luckily Ifa was awesome and gave me my marks :/ Who did you have btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 @bruhh: what are you using to study for the MCAT? I just ordered EK and Kaplan's books. I have all the stuff for the 2014 mcat to look at as well (a friend gave them to me). Concerned about the lack of full length practice tests.

I'm using EK for everything, but I will also be using Kaplan biochem and Princeton Psyc in addition to EK's biochem/psyc. I have the old EK101 and TPR VR workbook as well. I wish there was more new CARS practice material but I think the old stuff will suffice for now. Falling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruhh Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 No I don't think you can do that, unfortuantely. You can reschedule, but it will cost you (and the later you do it the more you get penalized). Falling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarloStanfield Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 This is kinda silly but does anyone know for AAMC ,when calculating the BCPM gpa (sGPA) if Calculus can be omitted since it's called "Math. for the Life and Social Sciences". I didn't do so well so I was hoping they'd see Social Science and exclude it does anyone know of someone omitting a science course for their app, I've heard that they're lenient when it comes to including courses that aren't strictly listed but what about the other way around ?

MarloStanfield Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Meh, I'll try to knick a date if i feel like I did poorly. tbh no matter what you'll feel awful about the MCAT afterwards but don't be discouraged and believe in yourself. I remember after the MCAT I just wanted to throw up and break stuff and for 30 days I was sitting in bed depressed at what a failure I was for fucking up but I ended up doing well so don't go by the emotions post-test. That's why imo the option to void at the end is one of the most evil things ever because I really wanted to void it and if I had, I would've voided a great score.

That's exactly why I'm doing it in September. Either go hard or go home! Treat the MCAT as if you can never take it then you can prepare to destroy it once and for all.

Treat the MCAT as if you can never take it then you can prepare to destroy it once and for all. Yup. I don't mind not knowing my score when I apply. We have no idea what cut offs will be like so we're applying broadly either way. Feel more motivated to study for it now, not sure why lol bruhh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm rewriting the MCAT as well. Registered for Sept 12. Sucks because my current score is a 12/9/13.. Damn verbal reasoning, oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsdbja95 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hey! this may be off tangent but the psyc program at york has this weird limit on how many psychology courses I can take. It works out that I will need 9 upper year non-psyc credits to graduate. I have looked into some kine courses & I know a few that are taking some English courses, but I wanted to know if anyone here had this issue and can recommend any interesting course or share what courses they took? My problem is the prerequisites, I dont have much room nor do I want to take many first year classes... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
