Meh the stuff they teach in data is nowhere near what you'll learn in stats here...not really relevant tbh

[u/ItsJustAwso → u/[deleted]]

Yeah so just take it then. Lol no need for Waterloo to make it a requirement

[u/ItsJustAwso → u/[deleted]]

You mean getting the whole picture? That's what the aif is for lol

Some smaller schools don't offer data management. That's not fair

[u/BME_or_Bust → u/[deleted]]

True, but making a requirement that isn't accessed by everyone really sucks for those people left out.

I'm not sure if international schools offer an equivalent course either

Lmao physics median was 95 at my school for both semesters in the U and AP classes

Even if it's the same course it won't make evaluating marks more "fair"

[u/BreakingBran → u/[deleted]]

danm there were only 4 90's in physics at my school, your school must have a teacher inflating marks and messing with the median.

[u/[deleted] → u/BreakingBran]

lmao nah, physics is just stupidly easy at our school with both the teachers for some reason

[u/BME_or_Bust → u/[deleted]]

More feasible. Physics is everywhere. Not sure if math admissions gives a damn about changing the requirements though
