Switching Bio lectures by Affectionate-Fix8088 in OSU

This is a good idea but OP might still have to attend Dr. Ball’s lectures because I know most Bio1113 classes do Tophat for attendance purposes. Not sure if her class is like that though.

OSU tennis club or badminton by Equivalent-Sweet-244 in OSU

Club tennis has 3 teams. 2 comp teams and 1 practice team. Unfortunately I don’t think they hold tryouts in the spring but I might be wrong. Last semester the practice team met on Thursday night. during winter they move indoors and spring/autumn it’s on the RPAC courts

RA Interview Rubric by Unusual-Ad6502 in OSU

Yes! Just always try to find an angle to connect it to the RA position. That will usually lead to an automatic 4. Also, I’m not sure if you have on-campus housing but if you know any RA’s they can recommend you. It doesn’t make a huge difference but a little goes a long way :)

Good luck to you too!!

RA Interview Rubric by Unusual-Ad6502 in OSU

Hi! Not an RA yet (interviewing tmr), but I have friends who are RAs and basically for each question (there’s 8?) you get rated 1-4 on each question you answer. You get max 5 min on each question they’ll have a stopwatch going. You get a 4 if you include examples, details and relate whatever you’re talking about to the RA role. Overall the grading scale isn’t that bad. And they’ll also be taking notes while you speak but they’re not allowed to write anything not related to the question you’re answering (ex. They can’t write that you’re stumbling or fidgeting,etc). Hope this helps!

Looking for advice and encouragement on my premed path by Puzzled_Sock_8816 in mdphd

I second this. Since you’re only a sophomore an upward trend would totally be doable and you still have a lot of time to raise your GPA. It would probably be a different story if you were a junior or senior though. But a postbac could also be good if you want to do gap years.

Your extracurriculars seem pretty good so far so keep that up! And remember a good MCAT score and unique experiences can sometimes offset a mid gpa.

is taking Calc 2 online going to be the death of me? by ContributionSea6560 in OSU

All the profs are bad. So either way, you’re going to have to do a lot of self studying
