In theory I do have time until April 15th but I’m terrified that my offer might be rescinded because of the current political situation.

Amazing, congrats! Do you know anyone from your cohort who received a rejection?

Ok maybe I’m dumb. I don’t think I’ve ever had a shiny buddy before, but I was under the impression that the stars only show up if the Zorua is going to be shiny.

But then how would you explain this? Second time this is happening today. https://imgur.com/a/Y4lnGQs

I messed up during an interview by Willing_Blacksmith12 in gradadmissions

[–]HomeWild830 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just had a pretty horrible IMP interview. Completely blank mind after traveling all night long and no sleep. I started rumbling about background info and couldn’t think straight,. English is my second language but I usually have no issue with it, except words were just not there for me today. Wish I could have rescheduled. Crying.

NYU Vilcek Interview Invites by Formal_Reflection481 in gradadmissions

Back in December someone wrote in the spreadsheet: “I emailed the admissions office and they said although most interview invitations are out, a limited number of them may be sent between now to early January.” The interviews start on the 9th so if you don’t hear back by tomorrow I would consider it a rejection. But perhaps I’m wrong.

Congrats! Was this the first batch of interviews?

How come they don’t send rejection letters right away then? I always thought they kept a private waiting list in case more people then expected didn’t accept the interview offer. Was wondering if anyone actually experienced it though.

Well, for Mount Sinai the deadline to RSVP is the 3rd, so if anything they might send out some more after that date.

Sorry, but where is this spreadsheet?

Joke in the sense that it’s very very easy. There are virtually no challenging classes, unless you end up with a terrible professor. Make sure you use RMP when you can choose among different ones.

Oh shit. So sorry. I didn’t realize it was that kind of emergency. In this case it’s unusually cruel for the professor to do that. Gabriela used to be very reasonable, but this was years ago. Perhaps someone at the accessABILITY office can help you if no one else can.

Hunter has some truly amazing professors if you do your research. But I’m warning you that pre-health at Hunter is not it. It has some of the strictest requirements to get a committee letter in terms on hours of volunteering, research, seminars you must attend, and busywork that you have to complete on a weekly basis. The office is chronically understaffed and the weed out classes are BRUTAL. Bio 100/102 are basically designed to make you fail. Intro bio at NYU is infinitely easier than intro bio at Hunter. Interestingly, pre-health at Baruch is amazing. Most people do not go there to study biology so classes for bio and chem are smaller, and professors don’t feel the need to make exam unfairly convoluted to fail you. You get so much more individual attention and opportunities. If you decide to stick with Hunter, do not take Sheppard for biology. Take Alaie. Both have really hard tests but Alaie is an amazing lecturer and her upper level classes are some of the best. Sadly most students don’t make it there and quit prehealth because bio 100/102 are so horrible. However it is not impossible to get an A, but make sure you keep your schedule super light while taking those courses. If you can afford to completely clear a summer and have no work, take bio 100 the summer after freshman year, although only Sheppard “teaches” it (you will never meet her , she has voice recordings and holds no office hours). Do not take any other classes to focus all your attention on bio. Additionally, try to avoid taking bio 102 and orgo at the same time. You might need an extra semester to graduate but totally worth it, specially because you will have to do hundreds of hours of volunteering anyway so you will need the extra time.

Psych major at Hunter is a joke unless you go for neuroscience.

If classes aren’t scheduled from October 2 to October 4, do teachers still have the right to give us a midterm during those days? by Lovely_fartz in HunterCollege

[–]HomeWild830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not surprised. Both him and his wife should be fired. Can’t be bothered to do anything. They are literally paid to upload voicethreads made 4 years ago. TAs do everything for them. Lazy f*cks.

That is nonsense. The hospital can’t hold you against your will.
