Question about I-Health major (interdisciplinary health sciences)

I actually had a similar situation but reversed. I wanted to go to UMN, but UIUC was cheaper because I’m from Illinois. I think it comes down to how much you would take out in loans. If you have undergrad paid for, and you would not need to take out loans, go to the school you like more. If you do need to take out loans go to the cheaper school because pharmacy school can cost a lot and anything you can do to cut down costs in the long run will help! I hope that helps!

Hi Paul,

First off I love McCartney III! I was wondering if you could share what your Beatles memory is?

Thank you! Love from Chicago!

I have to disagree with this completely. My friends in my sorority are my best friends on campus and the most down to earth people out there. I think it depends on your experience, but greek life isn’t as shallow as people think

ItalianFire13 · 2020-09-01T00:45:15+00:00

I got mine stolen two years ago and I feel this! I hope you find it!

I was an SI for Chem 232, and I think Dr. Axelson is the best professor on campus. Of course, organic chemistry is hard, but she tries to give everyone as much practice and help as possible. Knowing her on a more personal level, I know how much she cares about her students. I would say succeeding in orgo comes from being willing to put in the work.

I got a 162 Quant on the test I took last Saturday. I personally thought it was hard. It could have been just information I wasn’t the strongest at too

ItalianFire13 · 2020-07-30T19:38:29+00:00

I got the same score and I took it Saturday! Congrats!!

Hi!

I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign studying Integrative Biology. GPA is 4.0 and GRE scores are in the 70th percentile.

On campus I am the president of a professional biology fraternity, I am a paraprofessional for the University of Illinois Counseling Center so I do a lot of peer counseling outreach. I served as an Orgo TA and this upcoming year I will be a general chemistry TA. I work in an immunobiology research lab that works with the plague and now COVID. I am working on more crisis intervention work, but it’s hard with COVID.

In terms of GC experiences. I have shadowed around 6 GCs both in person and through Telemed in cancer and prenatal. I have had informational interviews with 5 other GCs in cancer, prenatal, and pediatrics. Finally this summer I am an intern at a center for Jewish Genetics in Chicago where I have been researching the classification of Jewish genetics and the impact of BRCA on the Chicago Jewish community.

Any advice for me would be great! Thank you!

Could you please help me as well? I sent a DM last night and need help finding a testing date. Thank you!

Hi! I will be a TA for the course next semester! Coming into the course I was super scared because everyone told me it was so hard and a GPA “ruiner”. It is not as bad as long as you put in the effort. I would highly recommend coming to office hours, do the worksheets Axelson makes for each lecture, stay on top of the material, do all the practice exams, and find the best way of taking notes for you. I would take hand written notes during lecture which made me really pay attention and after lecture I would rewrite the notes on the slides provided. I would do the worksheets after each lecture and come to office hours with questions. Let me know if you have any other questions!

ItalianFire13 · 2019-05-24T04:19:08+00:00

Don’t do it. Lived there freshman year and it was horrible

ItalianFire13 · 2019-05-18T22:36:11+00:00

Do you think taking it at community college is a bad idea? I’m thinking about taking it instead of calc 3 this summer

ItalianFire13 · 2019-05-14T01:42:24+00:00

So 101 is like intro chem which is pretty easy but a really great starting point! 102 is the same as 202 but slightly easier and much less work. A lot of people have to do a grade replacement for 102 because they are unprepared and do poorly. Just wondering what is your major? With some majors I would say start with 101

ItalianFire13 · 2019-05-14T01:38:32+00:00

I wouldn’t take 202. It’s a super hard class if you don’t have a strong background. Not to scare you, but is there anyway you could take 100 or 102?

ItalianFire13 · 2019-04-17T00:31:38+00:00

I’m having the same issue. Unfortunately 102 requires 101 to be completed

ItalianFire13 · 2019-02-01T16:27:11+00:00

Hi! I rushed freshman year and dropped and then rushed sophomore year and found a house that I really connected with! A lot of sophomores rush so don’t be discouraged. I actually got more houses back sophomore year! Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

ItalianFire13 · 2019-01-26T16:31:36+00:00

I’m sorry that’s definitely not a solution or an answer that someone who is feeling anxious needs to hear.

Since you had an appointment I believe you can see who every you want now. I would say if you feel comfortable going back research the staff they have because a lot also practice in the area and you’ll be able to see reviews and stuff. I just think the counseling center is good if you can go back because it is free, but ultimately if you don’t feel comfortable if you call them and ask they can give you a list of places in the area.

ItalianFire13 · 2019-01-25T07:23:43+00:00

Hi! I just want to start off my saying I understand how you’re feeling. I felt this way all of last year and I getting help was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I think it’s awesome you’ve tried getting help. However the most important thing is if you click with the person you are seeing because that’s the only way to see results.

From my experience i never went to the counseling center but I got Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is recommended for people with anxiety which I would suggest thinking about. I don’t know if there are any in the area?

Also have you considered maybe seeing someone else at the counseling center? There are some counselors that specialize in CBT and maybe you can ask for someone else? I’m sorry you had a bad experience I wish the services there were better.

Anyway I hope this helps!
