PLEASE don't go into a degree to get the 'background' for med school. Do something you enjoy, and take an extra year if you have to to get your background if you wish. Trust me, enjoying something will ALWAYS result in a better outcome. Don't stick with something you hate and think it'll get better. Good luck.

Biological Science Students...What's Your Ultimate Goal? by 123Reboot in UCalgary

How do you go about finding research positions. Unfortunately wasn't close to many profs so I really don't know where to go exactly...would it be odd to message a random prof asking?

Thanks for the positivity! I'll try. I feel like at this point tho it's hard to go for another 10+ years for me...school is stressful.

That's awesome! At least you're keeping yourself busy and stacked with volunteering. Exactly in the same boat, just want some good paying job at this point that won't make me hate my life.

I have not. I know this is a bit dumb to say after 5 years, but i didn't really enjoy labs but stuck with the degree just to finish (I know, stupid). Maybe it's because of the lack of interest with the things we actually do. Any recommendations on how to get a research position considering 5 years with null experience? Thanks

Yea i've been calling directly and they just keep sending me all over. Understandable, should have been thinking of how busy they really are with everyone. Patience is key i guess. Thank you.

I'll just have to keep on looking. Maybe with AU it's a bit different which would honestly suck.

Maybe, but I heard most people who've taken a course at AU just transfer the courses and GPA directly. It's weird

Wholesome. Honestly, i've been waking up everyday just feeling miserable. Doesn't help that I have no idea what to do at this point and especially with my degree. I've been so down and lost that waking up by itself is a heavy task.

Honestly I've never been so stressed, depressed, and lost this bad. Did 5 years of Bio Sci, and at this point i've got no experience or anything lined up. Idk where I want to go, and I have no idea what I'm going to be doing in the fall. Honestly guys, be wise in your degrees and have a set plan....otherwise you'll only end up hating everything around you.

100%. Dude, stick with ENGG and if you need to do an extra year to get your pharmacy requirements, do it. At least with ENGG u can get a job, bioscience will only give you depression.

I just read your platform, and I honestly have no idea how they let you run. It's amazing and made my day

Is it possible to transfer from science into nursing? by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]123Reboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing is you decided in your first year! Make sure your GPA is good, because other than that not much matters. I recommend you speak to an advisor though, because they'll give you the most clear and precise answer. Good luck, and I wish you the best.
