AI Thread Summary
When applying to the University of Toronto for mechanical engineering, applicants have the opportunity to showcase their engineering-related projects through a supplemental application. This is particularly beneficial for those with average academics, as a strong supplemental application can enhance their chances of admission. An 80% average is considered acceptable for this program, especially if the applicant is in 11th grade, as the university primarily focuses on grade 12 prerequisites for admission. Grade 11 performance is only significant for early admission considerations.

Hey, just curious if there will be a chance to display a portfolio of some kind when applying to U of T for mechanical engineering.

My academics are ok, but nothing special (80% average) however i have a large portfolio of engineering related projects and creations i wish to let the university know about... Is there anyway of doing this?

Well there is, when you apply to the university they ask you to fill in a supplemental application, there you can tell them all about your experiences. (Assuming U of T is University of Toronto). I think a really good supplement with an 80% average should be enough for mech E.

But isn't it a little too late to apply now? Or are you in 11th grade? because if you are don't worry about your average because they will only look at your grade 12 prerequisites for admission (grade 11 counts only if your grades are high for early admission, around February) .
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
