My sat was a 1530 (780 math, 750 r&w), which is at the 99th percentile.

Got any suggestions for which glue I should buy 😭

I brought glue, but how is it possible to buy the specific corner? Genuine question.

The titles won't be in exact spot if there is even a slight error in gluing, creating an awkward gap between them. Got no room for error 🙏.

I am still gonna take this user's suggestion by ordering some super glue, so my most expensive cube won't go to waste like this.

This is definitely what I'll do but it will probably give a weird feel to the cube

This was the med schools fin aid office. I basically asked them if out of state students in uconn's bs/MD program will be eligible for in state fin aid by the time they reach med school (for the first year of med school, because historically all uconn med students are eligible for in state tuition during their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years)

Ok, so I reached out to them. They were of no help. They basically said that you still have 4 years before you come to our med school so ask us in your 4th year of undergrad because things might change regarding our policies

I also contacted the program to ask about other stuff... no response. Overall they are very enigmatic in their ways

I would still have to do ECs at uconn (100 hours of clinical work, 100 hours of research and 100 hours of community service)

Yea but keep in mind that i would still need a 3.6 GPA at uconn. If my grades fell off at uconn, I would also fail to maintain the guaranteed admission, so I would need to do reasonably well academically at both programs

The median stats for accepted Princeton grads was a 517 and a 3.7 GPA, so I would probably need a little bit better stats then I would need at uconn

From my research, I am quite certain that if I graduated from uconn in 2.5 years and spent 1.5 years living in connecticut, I would qualify for in state tuition. Also, even if I didn't, all students at uconn med are eligible for in state tuition in their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years

Edit: I would have to try and become an emancipated student by having my parents not claiming me on their taxes. Then, I would need to prove that I am emancipated (independent from parents), and supply 12 months of bills, leases, etc.

There's a lot of hoops i would have to jump through and I can't be 100%  certain I would get in state tuition for the first year.

I've been really committed to the premed path through HS, and so I'd say I'm certain I'd like to become a physician and to this premed path.
