hii, i’m an incoming first year at uottawa and i’m going into the health sciences program. Are there any insta gcs for first years in general or health science students?

So i bought something off of amazon for a close friend, since they apparently “couldn’t buy it themselves since their card won’t work on amazon” so i bought smth for like 66.64 for them, and they told me they’d pay me back in 2 days when they get paid, which already kinda made me feel weird bc i knew they had the money and were not struggling financially at all. I asked them a week later to pay me back and they told me they would and asked if i didn’t trust them, so i dropped it there. It’s been 2 weeks no, but i’m lowkey annoyed i have to remind them again, as whenever they pay for smth i split the bill and transfer them the money IMMEDIATELY. This person is like a really close friend to me but idk this situation has kinda given me a negative view on their personality. I’d appreciate any advice or thoughts!

I’m really leaning towards Annex right now. Is that a good residence for first year? I was considering Hyman but then i saw someone say that residence usually doesn’t fill up and isn’t good for socializing, and i do want to meet more people and end up in a res where no one socializes and there aren’t ANY first years at all

honestly after being rejected from mac i’ve circled back to ottawa, which is where i originally wanted to go back when i was thinking about university in grade 10. So im fully believing the rejection is redirection thing rn as i feel happy with my choice :) (i don’t feel happy about spending an exorbitant amount on ouac applications just to end up picking ottawa anyways but that’s bc i was irresponsible so.)

hi! i just got accepted into uottawa for health sciences, and I do actually like the idea of going to uottawa because of the location and research opportunities i’ve heard about. Can someone please give me a very honest opinion on whether or not ottawa is worth it? because some people said it was ass and they had to transfer after first year. I’m also concerned about social life, is it impossible to make friends if you aren’t living on campus and would you recommend living on campus over out of residence housing?

I had been praying like crazy since ramadan, getting up for tahajjud whenever i could, found dhikr and even praying salat al-awwabin and salat al-Hajat to get into my top choice university. I just received a rejection today and honestly it stings, but it’s also beautiful because it’s made me realize i’ve reached a point in my spiritual journey to trust Allah’s plan and not be discouraged, because years ago I would’ve been absolutely DEVASTATED and this rejection would’ve completely broken my faith. Didn’t get into my top university but definitely came closer to Allah. Alhamdulillah for everything, rejection is redirection :)

mac could’ve done this earlier in the week but it is what it is 🤷

people are posting offers but my app is still pending. does everyone get in at the same time for mac or is it rolling until noon

the acceptances aren’t coming out until tmrw, most of the acceptances either have the wrong format of the date, the wrong date, or have view offer letters when offer letters take a couple of hours to come out.

is the health science round tmrw..

ppl lit started getting emails at 7-8am yesterday just put us out of our misery man

im literally not emotionally prepared for this senior year went by so fast and now apparently hs rounds come out tdy and i can’t sleep

Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka Antas-Sami'ul-'Alim. Al-Fattah, Al-Qadir, I ask you to help me get into mcmaster health sciences tomorrow and cry happy tears instead of sad ones. Ameen.

preparing for rejection 🙏🙏🙏 i was literally checking my email and portal every hour tdy for life sci and i literally have no hope or energy left

anyone know when the may round will most likely happen this year?
