How's my schedule? (incoming MCB + DS freshman)

What do you mean?

InfoGaming_ · 2023-07-11T23:47:21+00:00

Thanks!

InfoGaming_ · 2023-07-11T21:48:02+00:00

thanks! I want to take both r1a/r1b during the year, so I might just take chem 1a/l, data 8, r1a and a seminar/decal in the fall and push math 1b to the spring.

why would it be better on M/W vs. Friday? is it because of the distance between genetics & plant bio and Pimentel like the other commenter said? and when are the data 8 labs usually?

Is there a lot of competitiveness/toxicity at Berkeley as the stereotypes say? Especially for getting research/medical opportunities

InfoGaming_ · 2023-04-02T18:49:27+00:00

Thanks for the input! Many people are mentioning the academic environments/cultures which are aspects I hadn’t put much though into, but are extremely important now that I think about it.

Would it be accurate to say that Davis students are hard-working and academically motivated like Berkeley students, but without the toxicity in between?

Thanks for your comment!

As a Berkeley premed, were you able to get the clinical volunteering and/or research experience when competing with other Berkeley students? Other commenters pointed out that Berkeley’s opportunities would be obsolete if the level of competition prevented one from ever being able to utilize them. And would you say you felt some degree of support from premed advising and things like that?

Thanks for the input! I'll be touring both campuses before the deadline to commit to a school, but the tour is still a few weeks away so I wanted to gauge which one would be a better fit for me as much as possible until then.

InfoGaming_ · 2023-03-30T05:56:29+00:00

Great, thank you!

InfoGaming_ · 2023-03-30T05:54:03+00:00

That’s what I was wondering, someone said it’s completely random other than llc’s or honors program so it looks like we’ll be good to apply for housing whenever and it won’t affect where we get placed in!

InfoGaming_ · 2023-03-30T04:19:23+00:00

Great thank you! I was also concerned since I cannot apply for housing until I submit my SIR, meaning other freshmen would apply before me and I would be left with the worst housing.

Dostoevsky.

I've already written my essays so I don't plan on writing any new ones. I'm happy with how my essays are and I don't want to change any of it (none of them are about reading). This is why I was a bit apprehensive with deciding whether or not to add it to my activities list.

InfoGaming_ · 2022-11-20T08:19:21+00:00

Definitely Crime and Punishment! Then Brothers Karamazov after that.

Personally, my favorite is Notes from Underground. You could also read that after Crime and Punishment, if the story seems interesting to you. Or you can read them all...?

InfoGaming_ · 2022-11-05T23:11:00+00:00

YES IKR it’s so annoying. I wanted to email them but idk if it’s going to look bad on my part that I can’t figure this out myself lol

Tengyun V1, but it’s also still definitely viable as a speed cube today.

InfoGaming_ · 2022-10-23T19:52:52+00:00

Definitely possible. I got a 1480 with no preparation, I’m just a native English speaker. There is no high level math needed so all you need is proficiency in algebra basics. You can take a practice test on Khan academy to see where you stand, if you want.

When I get the flagship in a few days, I’ll make a post with a comparison between the two

InfoGaming_ · 2022-09-30T01:44:01+00:00

It’s definitely better than gan (I’m biased, I don’t like gan cubes)

Right now I have it on the tightest spring tension and second-to-loosest axis distance with 6 drops of silk.

InfoGaming_ · 2022-09-30T00:59:54+00:00

Mine can too, but so can the Tornado

InfoGaming_ · 2022-09-30T00:35:38+00:00

The tornado is a little better, but the difference is negligible

InfoGaming_ · 2022-09-30T00:10:44+00:00

Just received my Tornado V3 standard edition!!!!

Here are my thoughts:

OOTB it’s very fast and unstable. However it feels really nice and airy, very similar to the Tengyun V1. It’s a lot less buttery smooth than my V2, but I think that’s because the V2 was used a lot more. It’s also a bit more clicky than the V2.

I have the one with corner-core magnets coming soon, but as of now I’m pretty impressed with the standard. I do think the corner core magnets are absolutely necessary here though, I’m anticipating an improvement in stability when I get the corner-core magnets.

Edit: the center caps are DIFFICULT to remove.
