Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around finding graduate schools in Canada that offer programs related to meteorology and other relevant sciences. Participants explore various aspects of the application process, including GPA considerations and program availability.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks a list of Canadian graduate schools, expressing concern about their GPA and the timing for applying to graduate programs and taking the GRE.
- Another participant provides a link to a non-exhaustive list of Canadian graduate programs in physics, noting uncertainty about meteorology offerings.
- A different participant suggests that physics departments may not be the only option and mentions a specific case where meteorology was part of a natural resource sciences program.
- This participant also highlights the importance of GPA for graduate school applications and funding opportunities, indicating that some universities may focus on the last two years of study rather than cumulative GPA.
- Another suggestion is made to consider Space Science programs, with a specific mention of York University and its relevant offerings.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express varying opinions on the importance of GPA and the types of programs available, indicating that multiple competing views remain regarding the best approach to finding suitable graduate schools.
Contextual Notes
There are limitations regarding the specificity of program offerings in meteorology at various universities, as well as the varying GPA requirements that may depend on individual institutions.
