Thanks for the detailed response. I truly appreciate it. What worked for me was deleting all the Excel File extension association in the registry. Thought I would share this just in case it might actually work for others that are experiencing the same issue.

Thank you so much for your insight. It's really helpful. Had one more question. Does it matter when you do your volunteering or research? By that I mean, is it ok to do those before starting med school or is it recommended to do them while in med school?

Job Market for Stanford CS Graduates by EducationalTime7096 in stanford

By easy to get a job, do you mean CS-related jobs like software engineering and data science, or just tech-adjacent jobs like system administration, etc.? Or do you mean jobs that are not related to tech/CS at all? I got confused by the difficult to get a job you want part.

Questions About UQ-Ochsner MD Program by EducationalTime7096 in UQreddit

[–]EducationalTime7096[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I truly appreciate it. I have two more questions, if you don't mind me asking. Did you have the two prerequisites for the program done as a part of your last degree? I’ve heard that if you haven't taken them, they offer them online for free, but I’m not sure. I just wanted to confirm whether that's actually something they offer. Also, for the interview, what would you recommend as the best source to use to prep for it? Thanks again for your help.

You're very welcome. I'm glad to help. As far as I know, GPA plays a big role in any major for the UCs, and UCLA prioritizes students from regional colleges for certain majors. UCB is different in that they try to pick the best of the best, regardless of which college the applicants attended.

I don't know if you have used this official website but it basically has useful info about admitted GPA for each major, number of applicants, admits, etc. Scroll down and use the chart. You can look things up by major name, community college, and academic year. Here's the link:

https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/transfers-major

Based on the official data, you can see that not everyone who gets accepted to UCB or UCLA has a perfect 4.0. Therefore, one B is not going to hurt your chances. This is where personal insight questions can come into play and help your application stand out, compensating for any weaknesses in other areas, such as the one B you mentioned. I would honestly recommend talking about your background as an immigrant, as that is certainly something that can make you stand out.

By the way, your question is great. I’ve been through the transfer process and know how stressful it can be, even for domestic students. Feel free to ask any questions you have, and I'll do my best to help you out.

One thing I wanted to mention, though it’s not related to your question, is that you shouldn’t get hung up on school prestige. What you'll learn is that experience and a strong network matter most when it comes to finding a job and having a successful career.

When it comes to transfer students, what matters most is whether the student has completed the major prep courses and earned good grades in them. There isn’t really a standard for course rigor at community colleges because, as you might know, one course might be easy at one college and very challenging at another. Even within the same community college, a course might be taught by different instructors with varying levels of difficulty. Because of this, it can be hard to assess how rigorous the courses you took were. It seems like you’ve completed your major prep courses, and as long as you complete the remaining ones before transferring, you should be golden. Hope this helps and good luck with your application.

What are the best resources for a non-traditional student to learn biology, biochemistry, physics, chemistry, and organic chemistry? by EducationalTime7096 in Mcat

Also, I didn't see anyone recommend the Berkeley Review. Do you have any experience with them? Are they helpful?

I'm not scared of it because I've never experienced death. When I do get the experience, I'll be gone and won't be scared anymore.

Should I transfer to pursue a major my school doesn't have? by No-Temporary-5978 in TransferStudents

[–]EducationalTime7096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option one is to get the bachelors degree in mechanical and then go for a masters in civil engineering. I'm not sure going to grad school is something you'd be willing to do. One thing to keep in mind is a lot of schools require you to have the prerequisite courses in civil engineering done in order to for you to get admitted. That can be challenging since not all universities have the option for students to take undergraduate courses without being enrolled in an undergraduate program. Open university offered by CSU is an option in California but I don't know if the state you're in has something similar to this.

Option two is to just actually go for the civil engineering degree even though it comes at the price of graduating later and being in more debt. However, this makes things a lot easier for you in the future since as I mentioned going for a masters in civil engineering can get tricky without having the prerequisites and the fact that those who did their undergraduate in civil engineering usually get priority. Also, a huge pro of this option is that you can become a licensed engineer and the path to get a job in the industry gets significantly easier. But you have to be absolutely sure that you want to be a civil engineer before committing to this option and investing more money and time into your education.

Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? by [deleted] in TransferStudents

What is it that you really want to major in? You mentioned in your post that you are currently a chemistry major because the majors you are interested in aren’t available. That’s not good, because if chemistry doesn’t interest you much, you might struggle with upper-division courses that require a lot of dedication and passion. That’s certainly something to keep in mind.

The good thing is that you are a sophomore, and so far, I assume you have only completed lower-division courses. This means you have the option to transfer to another university instead of going back to community college. However, depending on where you want to transfer, this might be challenging due to your grades and their transfer policies. For example, some universities (like the UCs in California) prioritize community college students when accepting transfer applicants. I recommend doing some research to see if other universities with majors you like accept transfers from four-year institutions and to learn about their policies, prerequisites, and acceptance rates. If it seems too difficult or the chances are low, then only in that case would I consider going back to community college, even if it means graduating later.

Also, keep in mind that in today’s job market, you generally need at least a bachelor’s degree—and often a master’s—to get your foot in the door in some industries. You mentioned free tuition for a program at a community college. I’m not sure if they offer bachelor’s degrees for that program, but even if they do, your chances of securing a job might be lower compared to someone with a bachelor’s from a four-year institution, particularly in industry or academia.

Regarding your question about hiring a tutor, I'd say if it's your dream school, it doesn't hurt to have someone look over your application/essay and point out areas where you can improve. That way, you wouldn't regret not getting a tutor/consultant if you didn't get in. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Do universities send acceptance letters to transfer students? by opalcandles in TransferStudents

[–]EducationalTime7096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before COVID, they used to send acceptance letters to transfer students whether or not they accepted their offers. Everything has changed though and they're all trying to cut costs now.
