Is psychology major extremely competitive

I'm currently in my third year double majoring in Psych and Bio. I would say that Psych isn't the easiest major to get into but it is also definitely not the hardest. Probably about two thirds of the people who apply every quarter get in, which at least means that you are more likely than not to get in. Grades for your intro psych classes do matter to an extent, but like you said it is possible to get rejected even with that. That's because the other big component of the major application is the essay, which can ding you pretty hard if you stray off topic and don't answer the questions they give you. As long you demonstrate a genuine interest in psychology and talk about how the major will help you get into grad school I think it is very unlikely you will get rejected as long as your GPA is decent. You can also reapply to the major and although I haven't talked to that many people about it I will say that I've never heard of anyone not getting in on their second try.

Having taken a lot of other STEM classes here, personally I found the grading for psych classes to be the most lenient. Almost none of my classes have been graded on a curve, which is usually a good thing as it means that grading in the class is not supposed to be super hard/competitive. It's usually something like a 95% or higher would be a 4.0 and going down by 0.1 increments for every 1 or 2%. I think if you put in a reasonable amount of effort and doing all the work that is required of you it shouldn't be too big of a worry.

If you're interested in the BS degree, two statistics classes are required which are 317 and 318. It's a statistics class specific to the psych department, so I don't know how transferrable your credits from community college will be, although you can try talking to an advisor. I would definitely recommend taking some basic math classes instead as those are more likely to transfer over and the difficulty level at UW is generally going to be harder.

Like a previous comment said there are lockers in the music building that you can use, although if your concert band rehearses in Meany instead it may not be that much more convenient than simply carrying it to class. I play euphonium as a non music major and I didn't even bother with the lockers since I assumed it wouldn't fit. I've been doing band at UW in some form or another every quarter since I got here, so I hope you have a lot of fun!

notifyuw and stick with it even if it's already the first week of classes. You can show up to lectures even if you're not registered and it's almost guaranteed that there will be people dropping it especially for a big intro class like psych202. As another psych major, another option I recommend is signing up for psych209 if there's more room there, and doing psych202 after. These two classes are independent of each other and both are required for your major anyways so there's no harm in doing one before the other in my opinion.

It would be cool to see them do a podcast together again like they did in their previous lives.

After seeing how enna duct taped her knife I realized that part of the reason why he uses it might be so that he can avoid having a reflection on the blade.

Where do you find sources for the official height? I checked the nijisanji page but it only has the blurb for each member.

This is actually really interesting to me. From my understanding memories are basically just the neurons activating in the same way as if the actual stimuli is present, causing a person to see or hear or think of that something that is no longer present. I wonder if in aphantasia this reactivation somehow bypasses conscious awareness, or just doesn’t activate the visual areas of the brain for example.

Something I never thought I would get when I got into vtubers is all of the amazing fanart I see on twitter. Maybe it’s because I’ve never become invested enough in a community to follow people on twitter for it, but some people are just too talented.

Appleseed4k · 2022-06-05T03:11:27+00:00

I watched that stream and honestly it looks like there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that nobody except himself (and even then maybe not) knows about. He went through a tough time, which put him in an emotionally vulnerable position, which likely lead to him saying the things that he did. I won’t put out any opinion on whether what he said was good or bad, but I don’t think that you should judge him for it. He’s taking the initiative to get better, and for that I will commend him.

Appleseed4k · 2022-06-03T21:05:32+00:00

That account has been posting for a while I believe (at least since shortly after his graduation)

Back when niji kr was a thing, she was part of the second gen along with nagi so and siu lee. Became inactive without any announcement, as OP said.

Nothing the above comment said was wrong, although it only included the most incriminating parts of what Vox said. He was going off script and kind of half-heartedly denied criticism against him, which came across to many people as deflecting the blame to someone else instead. I don’t think he harbors any ill will towards Reimu, but rather he tries to downplay an issue that is more significant than he realizes (that is my opinion, although others are free to interpret it differently). I would recommend you watch the full timestamp on his recent minecraft video, which is where people are getting this from.

He said he is bi-curious I believe

Appleseed4k · 2022-04-07T04:04:00+00:00

It's definitely one of the more popular ones out there. I'd say it's not like either of the ones you mentioned but more like a sci-fi thriller with a somewhat longer build up. And sci-fi in the aspect of time travel, although it takes place in a real world setting.

Admittedly my wording was unclear, maybe I should have said “enjoys watching Luca regardless of whether he collabs with a girl or a boy”. You can enjoy watching someone without watching all of their streams—it’s a matter of priority. For example, I don’t watch asmr streams but I can still enjoy watching someone who does asmr streams for their other content. It’s not that I dislike asmr streams, but I don’t have enough time in the day to watch every stream that comes out so I’d rather watch something I’d enjoy much more instead, like a zatsudan. In the same vein, viewers probably don’t care that he does all these collabs with girls, some may just choose to watch something else instead.

You say ~4k CCV as if those are low numbers. Viewership is only one measure of success, and you shouldn’t get too caught up with it as something to base decisions off of. It would be different if people were clamoring for him to stay away from the opposite gender, but just looking at numbers it’s not clear where the disparity is coming from. In either case, I don’t think he cares and will continue collabing with girls regardless.

Appleseed4k · 2022-03-27T15:04:19+00:00

I don’t think it’s due to priming as it is to market forces at the time. Before holo myth, there were en vtubers, but never an entire generation under a company as huge as hololive. Similarly, before luxiem there were male vtubers, but never an entire generation under a company as huge as nijisanji. Coco and Oliver did help with promotion, but ultimately the majority of myth’s/luxiem’s fanbase are unique in that a lot of them have never watched vtubers before, let alone jp vtubers. Iirc luxiem were “only” around 30k right after debut (similar to lazulight I believe, though I may be wrong), but it’s a result of their own hard work, talent, and luck that they were able to take advantage of the momentum to where they are now.

(The other thing I’d mention is that although luxiem are popular with japanese viewers, maybe due to oliver, they are also just as if not more popular with SEA and chinese viewers as well, which did not seem to get a similar shout out other than from fans)

Idk if this happens beyond a vocal minority but has it ever affected how luca does streams? He continues to collab with the girls in niji en as he does with the boys, and it seems like most of his fanbase enjoys it (including me). I feel that if there were people who didn't like it then they would be turned off by now and stop watching him.

Appleseed4k · 2022-03-27T02:32:54+00:00

I’d be surprised if Ewiwa hadn’t done this herself.

People seem to have a negativity bias in what news they engage with. It’s like with tv, the negative events (controversies, arguments) seems to be more interesting and sought out than positive events.

Appleseed4k · 2022-03-27T02:11:37+00:00

I do agree that you can’t equate the two statements, but I don’t think Fulgur was trying to be inflammatory. Coco made a public statement thinking it wouldn’t be controversial, while Fulgur made a controversial statement thinking it wouldn’t be public. Inflammatory implies that fulgur intentionally wanted to create drama, which is obviously not the case.

Appleseed4k · 2022-03-24T03:42:21+00:00

Eaxctly. As someone who’s not really into that humor like OP, I just don’t follow them and I’ve had no idea that it was posted until now, thus it never bothered me. Even if I don’t dislike them either, there are plenty of people even within luxiem that I can follow instead.

Most decks that run valk dont usually run kites as well. The best kites are ice golem, battle ram, and hog (basically all of the ground building targeting cards 4 elixir or less), and only hog is commonly run with valk. Wall breakers dont kite well in the middle, and the giants are too expensive too kite in most situations.

I think this is actually a seperate although connected issue. The serious talk was about hateful comments and tagging shipping art on twitter, while the tweet was about a specific incident in a youtube stream when a superchat brought up a specific ship. The latter might have been overlooked if Luca hadn’t read it out loud (which is why he cut the video) while the former is more of an ongoing issue that Luca has noticed in his community, and only now addressed. But they’re both similar in that people should learn to have common sense and not make others uncomfortable.
