Hi,

I am looking at potentially applying from another province now that we can apply for unsponsored seats.

I never took Organic Chem, because it is not a requirement for the Vet School in my province (which used to be the only one I was allowed to apply to), and it's a restricted/priority course at my uni. I have a full BSc., and two grad degrees, and I'm all graduated now... I took two general chem courses and both second and third year biochem, but I have no orgo.

I am willing to go back for a semester, but the only uni in the region (the one I went to) restricts their orgo courses - the one with no lab component is just priority access and sometimes you can get lucky and get into it after being on the waitlist, but again, no lab. The uni does not allow anyone who isn't a chem major take the version with a lab component.

There used to be a uni in my province that had an online orgo with a virtual lab component, but they no longer allow students to join it if you aren't in their own degree program.

Has anyone had this issue before and found a way to solve it or somewhere to take the course? I would consider online orgo courses from other places like the US, but I would need to enroll as a full time student for that semester. I have no idea how to fulfill this requirement.

Open to any ideas. TIA

Moving to PEI for the summer

Hey folks! Although I don’t attend UPEI (I actually attended UBC LOL). I’m moving to Charlottetown next month (mid june) for the whole summer. I’m from vancouver / going into my second year of university this September. But I grew up in a small town for the majority of my life before moving to the mainland. I’m a bit nervous moving to PEI despite how excited I am for what it has to offer, because I’ve heard the island mentality is quite strong and I don’t know anyone (apart from my homestay roomies). I am a very big outdoorsy person and I love just about anything and anyone. I love hiking, surfing, going to the gym, going to the beach (LOVE beach volleyball), baking, hitting up bars, and sidequesting. If you’re absolutely down to be friends, let me know your socials:) and let me know what might be the best way to make friends here!
