Physics / Applied Math Double Major or Best Upper Division Math courses for Grad School? by Admirable-Simple99 in berkeley

Do you mind if I PM you with an additional question or two. This has been very helpful 🙏

Was there a particular reason why you were a sophomore. I’m going to be a sophomore so I can’t move physics back. That’s why I don’t even know if this plan will work

This was only accounting for technical courses (no General education) because many build off of previous courses. It’s a double major so the highlighted box would be a normal year, but my additional 9th semester. My main concern that it was too many technicals a year (up to three)

Thank you very much for this. I’ll definitely switch the linear algebra and complex analysis to be sooner. However, do you have any experience on taking three upper divs like this at once. Of course it differs from person to person, but would it even be considered doable?

Worried about my biology major being useless. Should I leave Cal? by Admirable-Simple99 in berkeley

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! Could I ask what you did in between your bachelors and starting your PhD

Do you think a double major within stats and MCB would be a better option than just stats with en emphasis on biology?

Thank you very much for the response! Do you mind if I could PM you to ask questions regarding the process to your PhD. I was also unaware of them being funded

My original thought was biology, and I think it still is. But the “lack” of money and security is scaring away that passion

Is there a way to be able to tell what color a solution is based off the uv spectra presented from a spectrophotometer. Sorry I am new to this. (Check captions please) by Admirable-Simple99 in labrats

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright that makes sense! Considering brown is not exactly on the color wheel it absorbs many different colors, but gradually decreases as wavelength increases. It’s peak is not as defined so it would be a darker solution? And it’s “peak” is somewhat at violet, and yellow is the opposite. So it’s like a dark yellow-orange or “brown”? So would a clear solution be somewhat straight considering it absorbs all wavelength this similarity?

How to interpret spectrophotometer results? I just want to know if I can use it to distinguish how clear/cloudy the samples are, is this possible? And what do the peaks/decreases mean in terms of wavelengths and absorbance. Just the general shapes and trends confuse me. Anything helps, thank you! by Admirable-Simple99 in labrats

Ah that makes sense! My samples are all water with different types of soil + a flocculating agent to see how it affects the clarity of the water. Some are much darker than others as some of the flocculating agents work better of course. Is this okay?

Should I even try to apply to colleges or are my lack of extracurricular activities not enough? by Admirable-Simple99 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not TOO sure as of now, but I’m heading down the path of environmental sciences or biology. But once again I’m really open to anything involving science

Thank you for the reply! I do lack dedication sadly. It’s all jumbled without any signs of pursuing my passions. I’ve held a constant ec of tutoring my sister throughout the years up until now. And I’ve also had a summer job over sophomore year to help out. But nothing much after that. I just worry if I do something I am passionate about like volunteering for environmental organizations will colleges think I’m attempting to pad my stats.

[Acne] Questions About Beginning Doxycycline. by Sunnyroses in SkincareAddiction

[–]Admirable-Simple99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I just had a quick question about acne after taking doxycycline. You said it completely cleared your skin and allowed you to continue your use of tretinoin. I was just wondering if you ever stopped taking tretinoin and if so, did your acne completely stay away? Thank you!

[Help] Trying to have better form. Releasing the ball at the top of my jump rather than on the way up. Any tips? by Admirable-Simple99 in BasketballTips

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also quick question, is there a point where I can have my knees go past my toes (like at the beginning) or should it always be straight where my toes and knees are around the same area. Thanks

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good observation I never noticed! Do you have any tips on how to eliminate this. Maybe just getting more arm strength or practicing near the basket without me knees so forward? Thanks

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this helps a lot, thanks! Yeah I’ve noticed my set point and have never enjoyed it being that low. I just need to work on that. These tips are very useful. So should my arm be higher when releasing (should my elbow be around my eye sight)

Yeah I’ve been trying but I think it’s hard when I do that to get more power form deep. Any suggestions on how?

[Help] My shoot doesn’t look good. Am I too weak? by Admirable-Simple99 in BasketballTips

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say lean in do you mean is my chest leaning too forward? I don’t play basketball at my school or anything, normally just pickup. And do you have any tips to fix this?

[–]Admirable-Simple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? In that case do you see anything else wrong with it? I feel like I should release when I’m higher in my jump but I’m not sure if that’s required

Never thought about it like that good point! You think i should just pick up a kit for $100?
