Anyone know if POLI 200 level courses are open for students with 1st year standing? I'm debating whether or not to take more than one summer class to obtain the required amount of credits for first years to move onto second year standing in Arts. I emailed poli undergrad but they're hella slow at replying

Could you guys give this page a like/follow? I'm helping a dietitian with this nutrition month thing and she wants me to generate as much traffic as possible. If you comment on FB/reply to tweets you get entered to win an iPad, too

Be aware of the condense nature (I.e assignments/tests will occur more frequently relatively) and the longer lectures/classes.

Hey guys,
Just need some advice right now, I am really stumped as for my major. I'm in first year science, and want to major in either Statistics or Math. But from what I've heard is that straight up math doesn't get you anywhere in terms of job prospects, but at the same time I think statistics is too "focused" in one area, not that it's a bad thing, it just narrows down my options later on in life in terms of career. I really love math and stat, but idk what I should do, what do you guys know/think is better? Just need some advice..

Oh, and also, being a first year, my registration date was SO late, so by the time I went to sign up for the summer semester of CPSC 110, it was full..... Is there any other way I can get into the class?

Sorry still a UBC noob, any help appreciated, thanks!

First, no such thing as a major that does not get you a job. Job prospects depend on how well you prepare yourself for a specific industry through your academic and relevant work experiences. I know tons of people who have majored in arts with only first year econ courses and still got hired in Fortune 500 companies. On the other hand, I also know people who have majored in engineering and still ended up jobless for a very long time.

With that said, you should study what you are motivated in. If that is statistics, then go for statistics. If its math, go for math. If its both, then do a double major. It is actually not that crazy as it seems, as stats and math courses compliment each other very well. After second year, if you find that either math or stats is not what you're interested in anymore, then you can drop either one and continue with the other. For myself, I was at the exact same crossroad except it was for physics and math. In the end, I decided to do both .

Majoring in math or physics is like a double-edged sword. The advantage is that your undergraduate degree is really open-ended, you have a lot of choices about potential careers or graduate studies. The down-side is that you're not highly specialized in any specific industry, and you have to compete with others that are specialized in the field you are hoping to enter. For example, if you were to apply for a job at an engineering firm, you would be competing with people that have engineering backgrounds. This would apply to IT, business, accounting, or whatever company or industry that you are planning to enter. At the end of the day, none of this is impossible. It is just dependent on how well you prepare for that specific industry. Networking, internships, learning multiple computer languages, passing professional exams like acturial, cfa, etc... are some of things that my friends have done while majoring in Math.

Lastly, CPSC 110 is a huge class with over 100 people. There is no reason why they wouldn't let another student in unless the labs are absolutely full. You just need to email the prof or the computer science undergrad coordinator. Taking few comp sci courses is a smart idea btw.

Wow didn't know there were UBC-ers here, and a UBC thread here.. Nice to meet you all, though, btw

Crazy how the job industry works nowadays. Even though it's sad to hear it, it is more or less true, a degree doesn't even guarantee a job anymore, it's all about related experience, connections, etc.

I actually went through that phase myself, started really liking physics, and math, wanted to transfer to engineering, but nah, ain't feeling it there lol. Thanks for the advice, I will definitely try that.

I'll try that as well, I don't know if they'll let me in, I hope someone drops out, which is highly unlikely cause they need the course that's why they register in the first place. Yeah, compsci is req for my degree, even though I don't really like it.

Math will get you places.

Option 1: Get in phD and become a prof. Set for life.
Option 2: Get a Master in Quant or something like that. Investment banks love those. I have a friend graduated top-of-a-class in Math at McGill and she could work for any bank she wants. Also set for life.

etc.

Rest assure that specialization like Commerce, Engineering will only carry some people so far. The notion that firms prefer those people with specialized degrees is a myth whether or not schools trying to tell you otherwise to sell those degrees

You already have the upper hand that you love Math and Stat. Most people don't.

Begins studying 2 days before POLI 100 midterm = 72%
Begins studying 1 week before PSYC 102 midterm = 50%
Begins studying 2 weeks before POLI 110 midterm = 38%

I don't understand

No idea whether it was scaled or not, it might have been I have to check.
