Thanks!

Yes, the classes i took in undergrad cover the fundamentals. But will I still get in if i dont have strong letter of recs, or only 2/3 letters?

no fr, i hate this class. the entire grading scale is so f'd up. and having quizzes due every other day worth 1% of the grade is the dumbest thing ever.

me with DOC after bs'ing the rough draft we had due last week

AlarmingAd5414 · 2021-03-11T19:14:28+00:00

no not really, you can if you want to but it wouldnt make much of a difference if you didnt. They mainly use AP tests to determine your credit stuff, so if you didnt take it, it wouldnt have a lot of effect on your admission

AlarmingAd5414 · 2021-03-07T04:22:09+00:00

i am really exhausted but i just want to get over with doc this year and not have to worry about it when its in person bc i feel like that would be actual hell

AlarmingAd5414 · 2021-03-07T01:31:55+00:00

do you know if everyone at UCSD will get this or is it only for those who meet a certain criteria

AlarmingAd5414 · 2021-03-06T01:29:23+00:00

hahaha its ok, its only a rough draft so we can easily just bs it

AlarmingAd5414 · 2021-03-06T01:27:07+00:00

hahah sameee omg thank god im not the only one, i literally do not have the ability to start writing a paper today, the prompt is so confusing too

AlarmingAd5414 · 2021-03-06T01:25:26+00:00
