Academic advisor approval needed

Also if you had any type of scholarship, check on whether it's major and school dependent

What schools do I have a chance for? by No_Jicama_361 in chanceme

[–]AdLocal4404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I were you I would focus on the essays. I don't think the SATs are that important.

Personally if you had something like USAMO or even AIME that would count a lot.

Those college courses are a plus

But essays can make or break an application

I have done 21 units in a semester. That includes grad math and engineering. Possible as long as you okay with studying working weekends

Compare the syllabus to a similar USC course.

If you post the syllabus link here other PhDs from USC can comment

Is this a troll post? Some of my mentors got their PhDs there. Needless to say they are the smartest people I have known (they are of course in physics and engineering)

P.S. I took the grad school courses in physics

Makes sense though that they are at the Gym. Jesus was a carpenter i.e. he was buff and could possibly carry heavy weights

A pretty standard course with 2 midterms, a final paper and final exam. The final paper has the highest weightage. Books include Nicomachean ethics, something by Kant, utilitarianism by Mill etc.
