so it IS true that all science majors think that they're hot shit and come before every other major at any given school.

i dunno know much about music majors except for the fact that coleman has to take 10 classes in one semester, but from what I know about pre-meds, they have to take really hard classes, in addition to the classes most other people take (English, history, etc.).

But instead of getting B's in those other classes, the pre-meds have to do well in them, since getting A's in the regular science classes is practically impossible. In addition, in order to get INTO a med. school, let alone a good one, pre-meds have to achieve at least a 3.5 GPA, on top of taking harder science classes. Couple this with research, labs, and volunteer jobs, the entire process of getting into a med. school is incredibly stressful.

Medicine, unlike some other majors, requires people to do well as you can't get into graduate school without doing extremely well. So, if you get into Princeton and get a 3.1 GPA in their pre-med program, you basically don't have much of a chance of getting into a med school compared with those who went to SuckADick Community College and got a 4.0 GPA.

I'm not saying Medicine is harder than any other major, as each major has its difficulties, but keep in mind there are very few majors that are as competitive in trying to get to the next level.

Yeah...bio/pre-med is a bitch. You should see one of my friends stress out about A test. To him each test determines his future of med school choice and his potential to be a nuerosurgeon. Coleman..participation*. This semester I went to almost every single one of my classes.

I skipped only 2 classes this semester. I was pretty proud of myself considering for every class you skip past 1 "freebie" your grade gets bumped down one FULL letter grade. Fuck that.

Yeah, I will not say my classes are harder or easier than a science major's classes. It's just impossible to compare. I can tell you a little about mine and see what I have experienced.

My friends are engineers and business majors. They stress out majorly for 3 days before a large exam and then party it up for 3 weeks until the next exam. I cannot do that at all. I leave my house every day at 7:30 and don't get back until 8 or 9 at night. I actually pack my lunch bc I'm too poor to buy stuff.

I have straight classes to 7pm usually with 1 hour break. And every single day, I have at least 1 type of assessment (quiz, exam, etc) for my classes. So I can't take a night and just not do anything because the next day I'm getting graded on something. it really gets stressful after a week.

And Blitz you're right, I do take a shitload of courses. They're all 1 and 2 credit classes that meet the same (if not more) than a normal 3 credit course. And for these classes, it requires hours of work outside of the classroom. Example, my piano class. I have to practice atleast 1 hour a day for that for a 1 credit class which has a possibility for a quiz every class period. If I fail piano, I can't move on in my major...there are kids that have been here for 6 years because they fail piano. Sad, but true. I had 12 classes this past semester.

So, i wouldn't necessarily say that my major is harder content from others. I would say that it requires the most time. It also isn't about HOW WELL or HOW MUCH you know about the material; it's about how well you can perform it or teach/convey it to others.

I think every major is hard in its own way (minus elementary ed majors like mentioned before ha). Literature majors may not have a bunch of finals, but I bet it's damn tough for them to find a job that would keep them happy or publish their own material in their future to keep them from eating easy-mac for the rest of their lives.

Got my grades... A, B+,B, C+, C. Im fucking baffled...that C should be a B. and that B should be an A...I emailed my profs earlier today and got one back from my christianity prof. telling me he doesnt discuss grades online, but to come in when the semester talks to discuss the B. MAKES NO SENSE...77 on first exam, 92s on the next 2. I wrote 4 booklets, yes...4, on the final exam and knew my shit. I had 3 freebie days for the course I skipped. I checked knightvision (online gradebook for our school) about psych (the C), and I had a 79.96 in the class...I didnt enjoy it and will take the B for it...not a fucking C that kills my GPA.

[Short Hand]

I can't complain, I graduated last year, currently working for a design firm, and working video shoots and photo shoots @ concerts, weddings and clubs around toronto all year long

[Unknown_Sniper]

79.96 falls in the range of a C+. Not all college profs will bump it that .04 to give you a nice B-.
I walked away with an A in my Practicum, B in my media regulations and law class , B- in my post production class, and a D in math which I was surprised I got considering my no homework/ study policy for that class. Overall a 3.14 GPA. Not too bad.
I don't understand why so many people get pissed about their GPA's. As long as you learn the shit a number doesn't matter.

I agree. I think if you graduate with the degree that's the most important thing. When you go in for a job interview, they're not going to take the dude with .04 gpa points advantage over you right away. Your personality will make the most impact.

rofl, (you should see the built motor coming along in her !) hey man, Its pretty killer !, I was present for the DaRude set for the Unity event @ the Docks/Sound Academy last night, 6500 packed capacity, on stage taking shots . Did my buddy a favor who is taking Photography @ Humber and got him on stage to take shots with me. . I am by no means at your level when it comes to photography though, I mainly take filler shots, small editorial stuff for the videos. and As a sign of good business I usually just hand them all over to the client, kind of an add on bonus to our shoots. My main job though is shooting(filming), and spotting for good shots. (basically TnA lol)

Even though the events do not pay well, the perks sure do, Being around the sexiest women in Toronto, VIP, and free drinks to kick .

most of my friends are music and music ed majors and life is a bitch for them. 6 - 10 classes a semester plus 11 hrs ASDEL (ear training) plus practices, plus recitals, plus attending recitals, plus attending 6 professional performances a semester. and those 6 - 10 classes include theory, lessons, gen eds, performance classes (band, chorale) etc.

Im a psych major, some of the classes can be hard, but work load is very small and i have a lot of free time and still get good grades

[KTOG]

I Fucking Graduated College Nigz!!!!! Woooo!

[Pyro]

I had 2 finals...2 days apart...

I did pretty good
