AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student from the University of Victoria (Uvic) seeking information about potential financial support based on their impressive 8.8 GPA after completing their first year with a focus on physics. They inquire specifically about scholarships awarded solely on GPA and express concerns about the competitiveness of their grades relative to other students at Uvic. Responses emphasize the importance of contacting the financial aid office for accurate information, noting that scholarship availability varies by institution and that the office is equipped to provide specific guidance on GPA-based awards. The consensus is that individual inquiries to the financial aid office are essential for understanding available financial support options.

Hey I just finished first year at Uvic, where I took a pretty diverse selection of science courses with a focus in physics, and I ended up with an 8.8 GPA on a 9 point scale. I was just wondering if anyone could predict what kind of financial support, if any, Uvic would be inclined to offer me, assuming my GPA is my only asset.

Have you just contacted their financial aid office?
 
I guess I'm speaking specifically about scholarships which are granted purely based on GPAs. As in, how many other people have better grades than me at Uvic? Is my GPA negligible for their standards? I feel like these questions won't be highly regarded by the financial aid office is all.
 
That's exactly what the financial aid office is for. These awards and scholarships are school specific. Some schools have NO GPA-based awards, some have lots. We can't answer this question for you, the financial aid office can.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'
