86-88 is really high...

That does seem pretty high. Raise it anymore and you're starting to encroach on Health Sci territory.

But the high school curriculum now is a lot easier than it was seven years ago.
Finite Math (in my school at least) used to have a 65% average, while Data Management was a 75%.
There are also now two calc classes instead of having all of the material in one.
etc etc

Yeah, high school is definitely going into easy-mode.

I know! the cut-offs are crazy. I can only imagine what the cutoff was for the Health Sci students..
I do agree that high school is getting easy.. especially hearing how many people suffered in Calc 2 years ago.. and Now, being split into 2 courses, it's so much better/easier.
I don't think it'll stay for long though.. if this trend of high admission averages continues anyway.

I think Calculus 2 years ago use to have integrals. I didn't like how they removed that component. If anything, students need to see more integrals so they know what to use when they face a problem.

There is a chance that I might have a roommate. Weird. I think Res Admissions should be on campus during the weekend during this time of year.

I have had bad experiences with residence admissions in the past. I've come to the conclusion that you don't need to have any mental ability to work there.

This is my third time in residence and I haven't had a problem prior to. I just hope the other person just got their numbers wrong. I triple checked to ensure that I was in a single.

What do you mean? Someone says that they are in the same room as you?

Yeah, she's certain she's in the exact same room same floor everything. Maybe she's in the basement but I need confirmation because students often confuse 126B with B126 thinking it's the same thing. If the B is first then obviously it's Basement. But she thinks that she's on the first floor.

Well, you said it yourself that your room is a single. So that person is probably just confused.

I still don't know what residence I'm in. I'm in first year, and I've gotten no emails regarding me being put on any waiting list, are people still getting room assignments now? |
