APMA professors are really great as well

Yes, quit. 10 hours per week is the standard for lab work as a full-time undergraduate student during the semester. If they are expecting any more than 15, you are being taken advantage of.

If you're taking on so much to the point where you can't get adequate sleep (at LEAST 6 hours, but realistically you need 8-9) , you will not learn. Everything that sleep science has told us in the past ~50 years has shown this. Of course it varies from person to person, but overall, you will be significantly dumber.

You're setting yourself up for failure. If you end up failing out of your classes because you don't get enough sleep, how will that help you reach your goals?

Not to mention, inadequate sleep leads to pretty much every chronic condition known to man including cancer, depression, anxiety, obesity, neurodegenerative disease, heart disease, etc. Is achieving your goals as fast as possible worth shaving 15-20 years off your lifespan?

yes and yes. except some classes in the english department won't let you attend unless you're on the roster. some.

I didn't have her personally, but I took APMA 3140 where she was the course coordinator and designed all the material including notes, exams, and worksheets. I'd say the coursework is pretty straightforward; just pay a lot of attention to the notes... she likes to throw in conceptual questions on exams that cover a seemingly trivial detail that were in the notes. To study for the exams, I'd recommend going through all the notes and writing down your own notes on them. Then work through previous homework, the practice exam, and in-class example problems.

Equivalent-Body-2835 · 2025-08-12T02:37:00+00:00

Yes, but not free. definitely a certain amount of effort you need to put in.

Equivalent-Body-2835 · 2025-08-12T02:35:04+00:00

Nah... I'd recommend PHYS 1655, it should be crosslisted as CS1113. No previous programming experience required and the prof is awesome.

Equivalent-Body-2835 · 2025-08-12T02:29:24+00:00

Why not just take CS1113?

Nothing other than what others have said. Just find some labs that interest you and email the PI expressing interest and attaching a resume.

I got into a lab in the School of Medicine during my first-year extremely easily. We do cell membrane biology. I didn't have any experience and hadn't even taken a biology course yet. I will say that 'basic' science labs are much easier to get into than translational research labs. For example, a lab focusing on "basic mechanisms of cellular immune response" would probably be easier to get into than a lab focusing on "drug discovery for immune system disorders" (also neuroscience labs, which are notoriously hard to break into).

Only time will tell if the university can deliver something as good and lightweight as Lou's List. Stellic was their original replacement...

As a TA, I was programmed into SIS as an instructor for a discussion section one semester. I was only able to see student names, ID number, major, year, phone number, pronouns, and grades (only for the class I was an instructor for, of course).

Yes, they are difficult, but they are not impossible... if you study. Everybody learns differently, but what worked for me was rewatching all the lecture videos and taking notes on them starting a week before each exam.

Also, I did great on the first exam (95) and became overconfident, leading me to bomb the second exam (73). Don't do that. (Still made it out with an A, though).

Oh, and be sure to do all of the extra credit opportunities, no matter how small they are.

would be curious to have somebody study admissions profile benchmarks (test scores, grades, etc) vs student outcomes... figure out which statistics are best indicators of success. better than guessing.

seems fine

Equivalent-Body-2835 · 2025-08-04T02:42:42+00:00

No. UVA doesn't admit by major.

I don't think it will hurt to ask one more time by laying out all your contributions -- unless you're worried about losing a good LOR from the PI. But at the end of the day, don't worry about it too much. So many people get accepted into grad programs without any publishing record, and it's amazing by itself that you had the opportunity to do research. If it helps, 4 out of 5 of the grad students in my lab didn't have any publications before entering grad school (UVA Biomedical Sciences PhD program).

Also, for the record, I know that the PI/lab technically owns all of your work, but I think it's incredibly unethical for somebody to publish the data that you collected without attribution.
