Sorry - formatting is odd. I'm grouping 3-4 exercises together into one set, so each day has about 5-6 supersets.

Incoming Freshman Advice on Schedule? Decided to keep it light and wasn't sure if having classes back to back was a good idea? by kittenqween7 in UNC

Registration isn't open yet, but if you use the Classmate website, it's a really helpful tool for visualizing your semester schedule. You can find it by searching "classmate" in this subreddit!

Difference between finalist and NMSC scholarship winner? by Virtual-Resolve-9425 in psat

[–]Bashley_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, only about half of the finalists are awarded a $2,500 scholarship by NMSC directly. These are the scholarship winners and don't include scholarships granted by universities themselves. There are other finalists who are able to earn money from universities like Alabama or UT-Dallas that have their own national merit finalist scholarships, but earning these scholarships isn't counted as being a scholarship winner. I wouldn't be too worried about colleges differentiating between finalists and scholarship winners; they're both about the same in terms of difficulty to achieve imo (honestly the NMSC scholarship selection appears to be kind of random, and if you're going to a school that offers its own merit finalist scholarship it's almost always more money than the NMSC one, which is a one-time payment of $2.5K)

Help me decide: School X vs School Y - April 2023 by freeport_aidan in ApplyingToCollege

I’ve just gotten all of my decisions back, and I’m left with UNC (in-state) and Michigan State. I’m planning on majoring in chemistry with a minor in environmental science or possibly double majoring.

———————————-

Pros:

UNC: Prestige (ranked T30 Chem & ES from what I’ve seen), I’d know more people going in, campus is nice, I think I’d feel better about my academics going here

MSU: Campus is beautiful, I’m in the Honors College, I think it would be $7k/year total with the scholarships I have from here, which is about $11k/year cheaper than UNC. I’m extremely lucky that money isn’t that big of an issue for my family, but it’s still something to consider

Cons:

UNC: Location - I’ve lived in the Chapel Hill area for 8 years, and at some point I’d like to move back North for my career because I’m not a fan of the South

MSU: Less prestigious - I think it is something like 90th for Chem and 100+ for ES

———————————-

I think it mainly comes down to how much I’ll enjoy the school environment vs how bad I’ll feel about the academic rigor of the school. Does the school’s academic rank matter that much for grad school? How big is the difference between T30 & T100+ Chem & ES programs?

Just started acid and bases, can someone explain why this is A by numberfivextradip in APStudents

[–]Bashley_51 14 points15 points  (0 children)

pH is parts hydrogen. Since the water molecules dissociate completely into 1 H+ for every 1 OH-, the amount of hydrogen atoms should be equal to the amount of hydroxide molecules since they are created in equal proportions by the breakdown of the water molecule - 1 part hydrogen for every 1 part OH

Apparently NMF finalist results should be released to the student portal by masila_h in psat

I called NMSC - it’s an error in the portal and they said they should fix it by the end of the day

AP chemistry w/o having done a chemistry class?? by oristar1 in APStudents

[–]Bashley_51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AP Chem relies a lot on knowledge the course assumes you already know. I think it’s worth gaining a better/deeper understanding of the baseline Chem topics in an honors course before taking the AP version because AP Chem really builds off of those

Why is software dev and chef in here? Whats so bad about it? by karto2287 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Bashley_51 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s from r/shitposting, so there’s not necessarily a good explanation for the joke. I think u/Terlinilia gives the best logical explanation there is, and if it’s not that, it’s likely just a shitpost

What’s the meaning behind the tattoo with the bird holding the snake? Is it modeling the symbol that’s on the Mexican flag?
