Re: OT - The News Thread
Let's just say it's a program that won't even consider someone with less than an undergraduate A average.
I'd ballpark kb at around the minimum to get into teacher's college and then that's only a reflection of how well he could jump through various hoops.

Re: OT - The News Thread
they let in one gentleman last year who i'm pretty sure is homeless.
unless he was just squatting in the R building, telling people he was in spt.
but gosh, looked and smelled the part and i'm about 99% convinced that i saw him panhandling on college one night. kind of bizarre.

Re: OT - The News Thread
Well, I've met a few homeless people over the years who would qualify as intellectually genius.
I do believe though that you at least need a fixed address for the application process. Mind you, the prices they charge nowadays for graduate school is likely to cause some to have to choose between rent and tuition.

Re: OT - The News Thread
Yeah -- forcing you to pay for the summer term (when they don't even offer much in the way of courses) is killer.
In essence I had to pay them to allow me to write a paper.
My experiences with the school are getting worse and worse, too (as if the strike wasn't bad enough).
Because of strike remediation I had an extra term to write my paper. I had to pay for it, of course, but provided I got all degree requirements finished by a given date (I did) I am supposed to get that refunded in full.
Well, the department is telling me that I got everything done, am in good standing, will get the refund and am eligible to graduate. Graduate studies is telling me they can't find the form confirming I completed all requirements on time so won't give me my money back. The registrars office is telling me I haven't completed all requirements so is saying I am ineligible to graduate.
Moral of the story? Don't go to York

Re: OT - The News Thread
When they started that full summer tuition bullshit, we had negotiated full GAs for the summer. Did they drop that? No doubt.
That's one helluva bum****, forcing students to pay when there's virtually no course offerings or any draw on resources. Chalk it up to the corporate lackeys taking over the universities.

Re: OT - The News Thread
well we still had our summer GAs, but that just covered tuition. a few dollars short, in fact.
still, considering that we aren't, as you said, draining any resources from the school (outside of a few hours of our supervisor's time), at least throw us a bone and register us as part timers (half the tuition). i guess that would be too much to ask, though.
what a joke.

well, you'd be in the completely wrong ballpark. mutliple scolarships, A average, got into teacher's college when it was extremely hard to do so.

Careful buttercup, those perpetual students usually end up as your boss somewhere along the way.

Heh. I'm actually pissed off that I didn't go back for an additional year to get my masters. And yes it would be to delay making decisions.

Re: OT - The News Thread
well that is dependent on the field, don't ya think?
I know a master's in any geological field is worth a ton of dough.....and it is a pre-req for many employer's out there....
Any undergrad degree in physics, math, or engineering get's a lot of respect from me as well.

Re: OT - The News Thread
My former best friend in highschool went to university to get his business degree (real right wing goof ball) after his 4 year degree or whatever he decided to geta degree in Biology.... then Anthropology, then sociology. WHY cuz the real world scared him. His also amazing plan when he did his first degree was to claim bankruptcy to not pay back his OSAP. Well when collection agencies got to harrasing his mom and stuff he decided to pay it back.
After all that the dick has 4 degrees and is a paramedic... not even a hospital ambulance one, one of those private company ones
I hate that douche.

the university lifestyle is very, very appealing and i can totally understand why people would want to hang on to it as long as possible. the longer you do, the more you lose touch with the real world though.
