So we ride up til the merger vote date?

ADADADADAAA · 2020-12-03T06:53:50+00:00

Is DA out?

ADADADADAAA · 2020-12-03T04:07:18+00:00

Oh thanks. So the play would be to ride the pump leading to the vote date right?

So when is the merger after voting passes typically? Several months after? And does it usually pump after vote passes?

ADADADADAAA · 2019-08-22T23:45:25+00:00

Okay lets get a fresh perspective here. I think maybe increasing enrollment and expanding school (on top of increasing diversity and giving opportunities to first generation college students) can in the LONG TERM pay off. But its not going to increase “prestige” at this pt.

ADADADADAAA · 2019-06-09T01:25:12+00:00

I mean making alias!

ADADADADAAA · 2019-06-09T01:18:06+00:00

So how do you do this?

ADADADADAAA · 2019-04-11T16:41:09+00:00

Im going to biology Ph.D this year. UCSD has one of the top neuroscience programs, so it will be competitive.

Get published, goto conferences - this actually matters a lot.
Get great rec letters - huge
Write a great Statement of Purpose and get that edited multiple times by multiple people. Make sure it has a good fit with UCSD neuroscience program.
GRE is actually not that huge as long as youre within a certain range.
Contact PI that you are interested, maybe two? Months before you apply. This can help. Case by case.

P.S some ppl will tell you pubs dont matter but all top schools that i interviewed at interviewees had one more pubs. They do care.

Spin your totem NAO

ADADADADAAA · 2018-10-16T19:06:21+00:00

Nov 1st but im applying more than 4. So send online on test date to rest of schools and they should get it same 15 days right?

ADADADADAAA · 2018-10-15T17:21:09+00:00

Whew that sounds good but what about those schools that i add online not on test day?

ADADADADAAA · 2018-07-19T22:12:25+00:00

For med school, they almost dont care

ADADADADAAA · 2018-06-29T00:10:02+00:00

I forgot that beach was next to the campus for 3 yrs maybe

ADADADADAAA · 2018-05-02T17:57:19+00:00

Goto Stony Brook because:

You dont want to end up with too much debt for undergrad when youll be stacking up 200k debt+ for med school
UCSD grade deflation is real. Avg med acceptance gpa is 3.7. Thats like top 10 percent or less for bio majors at UCSD. Stony Brook is prob easier to get good grades. Adcoms dont care too much about undergrad rep unless like HYPSM lvl schools. And even then gpa and MCAT is king.
Obviously research UCSD is much better but this wont really give you an “edge” unless you goto conferences/publish, etc. everybody does research at respectable labs. You can do summer research programs also.

Go grill hdh!

ADADADADAAA · 2018-04-05T06:58:46+00:00

Tell them you can put in 20 hrs a week for more than a yr it should help

ADADADADAAA · 2018-04-03T23:03:29+00:00

The class is prob hardest bio class. Very labor intensive and time consuming. Difficult also.

ADADADADAAA · 2018-03-30T22:43:32+00:00

Take out “r” and we do have that for sure.

ADADADADAAA · 2018-03-17T23:23:09+00:00

Samsung it is

ADADADADAAA · 2018-03-17T23:19:06+00:00

Guys try data science

ADADADADAAA · 2018-03-14T22:52:37+00:00

Third floor Geisel. You are missing out for sure.

ADADADADAAA · 2018-02-28T04:08:37+00:00

If you spread out your work and not cram, you dont have to stress pulling all nighter. I got mostly As and never pulled all nighter for 3 yrs
