in a typical hypothetical case suppose that two people apply to med school where one majored in psychology at the undergraduate level and the other as an engineering major. the psych majored pulled off a 4.0 where the engineering major only got a 3.0.

why is it that the psychology major will get accepted into med school whereas the engineering student will not?

i mean, are the admissions officers at medical schools these gpa-obsessed mindless rigid automatons that cannot comprehend the fact that some majors are harder than others?]]> English 206 - 19th Century Lit. http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2366/english-206-19th-century-lit Sat, 04 Aug 2007 15:16:51 +0000 vik_lane 2366@/forum/discussions
Unless it's one of those "little tidbits plus a couple of stories" texts, I'm thinking it would be cheaper just to buy them separately at a used bookstore on Commercial Dr. or something.

Also, has anyone read North and South? I couldn't find it at Chapters.]]> > http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2414/ Mon, 13 Aug 2007 16:31:30 +0000 regina 2414@/forum/discussions

I ask because lately I feel a whole lot less needy when it comes to emotional relationships. I find myself looking ahead to what I want and am trying to accomplish in life more so than just worrying about being single/feeling like I need to be with someone. I feel like it's a whole new level of maturity.

I think that there is a time when we all start caring a little less what people think about us, and start looking out for our own happiness a bit more. Have you noticed yourself go through this, and about when did you/ do you think people do?]]> How do you keep your life organized? http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2383/how-do-you-keep-your-life-organized Wed, 08 Aug 2007 03:20:31 +0000 Mike Jones 2383@/forum/discussions How is the studying going? http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2387/how-is-the-studying-going Thu, 09 Aug 2007 16:00:32 +0000 Simon604 2387@/forum/discussions what are GPA boosters http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2401/what-are-gpa-boosters Sat, 11 Aug 2007 18:36:30 +0000 Sam 2401@/forum/discussions Fall Enrollment Dates http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2124/fall-enrollment-dates Thu, 07 Jun 2007 02:44:15 +0000 Malakaiii 2124@/forum/discussions

Unforunately i could not get into sfu during the fall of 06 because i had 69% in english and requirements was a minimum of 70%. So in January, i rewrote my english provincial and improved my english grade to 78%. In the meantime, i went to college for the spring semester and took an english class and a total of 15 credits with a pretty good gpa. I applied to sfu for the summer semester using my new transcript.

I was accepted into the summer semester and casually went on thinking everything was going normal. About a month ago, i received an email saying i have not met the english requirements yet. I was confused because i had 78% and had previously taken an english course. I went to the office and they said i needed to give them my transcript AGAIN in order to correct my grades. So a week later i gave them my transcript. I then noticed my registration date for classes was AUGUST1st... the latest time because i apparently have '0' credits right now. I didn't think much of it and accepted their mistake thinking it will be fixed soon. So now after two weeks i currently still have ZERO credits and an unfulfilled english requirement. It may not seem like much but since i had a late reg. date, i was stuck with scraps and found myself checking gosfu every hour. Then i noticed when i found openings, i could not take ANY business courses or ANY writing course.

I went to the office again to ask them why my grades have not been updated after more than 2 weeks. My transcript is last priority since they are more concered with the first years and it will take at least ANOTHER week. So i am stuck here with 0 credits watching my courses repeatedly becoming closed and the inability to register into any classes that i want. My goal is to have a joint major in business and computing science and i do not want to waste my time considering i am already behind.

Any suggestions or opinions of what i should do?
I am currently enrolled in math152, econ103, chem121, and cmpt125. The chem there is just a filler since i am unable to get into any other classes.]]> Grand Theft Auto IV http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2378/grand-theft-auto-iv Tue, 07 Aug 2007 21:27:40 +0000 Kevin M. 2378@/forum/discussions
Grand Theft Auto IV First Look

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more anticipated, or scrutinized, game than Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV. The release of the game's trailer in March saw the 50-odd seconds of teaser footage poured over like evidence in a CSI episode, with fans (ourselves included) rabidly dissecting it frame by frame. To further stoke the fires of anticipation, Rockstar Games recently hit town and did the previously unthinkable: They gave us a look at a work-in-progress version of the Xbox 360 game. Whereas years past have seen us getting access to GTA games when they were much further along in development, Rockstar, confident in how development is going, raised the drape and let us get a look at GTAIV months before it hits. Our guided demo showed off a tiny bit of the city and gave us a taste of what Rockstar is cooking up for what is arguably the most anticipated game of 2007.
