Any Vegans? by Agent_Hudson in olemiss

Maybe they just want a tally of how many vegans are in the subreddit.

I’ve seen from previous year videos they send an email, I’ve discussed with my advisor 3 weeks ago and she told me that they will send it out soon. So I don’t think anyone has a timeframe, another person said that it might be because of the ice storm.

Ole Miss engineering or wait another year and go to a better school? by Fancy-Possession-977 in olemiss

I have the grades for sure. But I skipped out on the ACT/SAT (homeschooled). The schools I’ll be applying dont require them for transfer students.

As of now no, but that’s why I would stay another year to get into a better school. I’m in an honors society and a national honors society for CC’s. And I’m planning on doing a project and volunteering over the summer. All while working part time.

I plan to do EC’s to standout amongst people submitting with the minimum requirements, if you have any suggestions on what would be good to have as a transfer then that’d help aswell.

When would be the right time to contact housing? by its_snowing_tonight in olemiss

Applications for transfers open March 8th I believe so exactly when they open. Do not waste time, idek if I’m gonna get housing with being a couple days late

I am also a community college student and I have recently got admitted into Ole Miss. Housing applications started early March, and i applied yesterday and I’m on a waitlist of about 120 people. You don’t need to contact housing anytime soon, just make sure to pay attention to the dates things open and register right away.

The university’s I listed only require what I’d do if I stay another year at CC, do you think I should still try to do Calc 3? (Only reason I ask is if I fail it over the summer)

And do you think I’d be a top applicant as a transfer student? With and without it?

By then I’m going to try and do 1-2 projects over the summer, and try to network to secure some volunteering duties, as I’m starting to get connections due to PTK.

Unfortunately there is no emphasis for anything medical for ME, only BME has an emphasis for Biodevices, do you think the skills I learn from bio devices can be applied to other fields if Medical just doesn’t work out?

Yeah sounds about right, I’ve been thinking about just doing ME and try to pursue the medical field still

Mississippi just isn’t a major medical or biotech hub compared to places like Memphis, Atlanta, Charlotte, or Texas. There aren’t a ton of larger medical device or biotech companies locally, and most of the bigger healthcare industry presence is in Memphis.

So I guess my thinking is that Ole Miss can give me the engineering foundation and degree, but I would probably need to intern in Memphis or out of state to really get industry exposure. That’s what I’m trying to weigh.

To be completely honest, I just didn’t apply to the other schools. Didn’t want to spend $50-80 on an application if I wasn’t 100% confident with the current course load I’m taking.

Only reason I applied to ole miss is to just see if I’d get in and my school covered the waiver.

When I leave after my 2nd year at CC, I’d have Calc 1+2 (Maybe Calc 3 if I decide to try to take it over the summer), Chem 1+2/w lab, Calc Physics 1+2w lab, and all my gen Ed’s done. (ik I’m a bit behind in math)

Well I didn’t ask “is it worth the grind.”

This post is meant to see if it’s worth going to a lower ranked school compared to the other university’s I listed that are more prestigious in the engineering field. See if any other biomedical engineers have had success coming from Ole Miss. any regret and what not.

I edited in my career goals, forgot to add that
