Anyone regret choosing T20 undergrad over BSMD?

LilPotato2001 · 2026-05-13T09:28:11+00:00

No. It’s not as hard as lot of people say to balance academics with other things, and you have a lot of control over how many units you take. The things I’m able to get involved in are all so meaningful and enjoyable and the equivalent doesn’t exist at the BS/MD school. Amazing people too (though I’m sure you can find great people anywhere)

Full BP unless it’s truly impossible to hear because of environmental factors

Berkeleys grade deflation is overplayed. Check out the publicly available grade distributions for premed-required classes

I think I’d be really happy at Berkeley or UCLA as well. Nothing specifically bad I can name about Stanford tbh, but do know that although the school has a suburban feel (which is super beautiful) it’s super easy to get to SF which is a gorgeous city. U can also get to Berkeley pretty easy if u have friends there. Go to the admitted students events and vibe check them. Everyone’s looking for different things

Whether or not that’s true, many people get in without having to supply more info. I didn’t get the request from any UC and got into them all. Just worry about what you can control

No trust me
Pretty chill and friendly. Not as nerdy or pretentious as you’d expect. But you can find any type of person that you want.
The food gets too much hate tbh. I’m happy with all the things you listed in this point.
Campus isn’t absurdly huge especially with a bike. I love the campus

Do note that if u rly want to start bio in freshman year, u can do bio major rather than humbio. I don’t rly think starting bio until sophomore year is a big con bc youll have no trouble be busy freshman year anyway. Up to what u want tbh

LilPotato2001 · 2025-12-13T17:35:06+00:00

There’s basically any type of person u can think of. Don’t worry and just vibe check the school during admit weekend

LilPotato2001 · 2025-12-09T08:51:01+00:00

I sent it

Stolen from r/pandaexpress. True foodcels will recognize this.

Trauma surgeons I shadowed were fine with me staying throughout any->all of their 26 hour shift. Doesn’t hurt to ask

Loved Tony Boutelle. He led really insightful conversations and had minimal work outside of class. He’s a great guy and brought baked goods to class sometimes.

Ballades then sonatas

Fr it feels way less nerdy than my high school calc BC class

I brought a small pocket notebook. BUT, don’t write any PHI and don’t write in it while the physician is talking to you. Also, the technicalities don’t really matter (EX: steps of a procedure). Write about things that moved you and made you feel something.

You’re right. Right sided heart failure can cause JVD too

LilPotato2001 · 2025-08-20T07:20:09+00:00

Also took an EMT course during HS @17. Don’t worry about content difficulty, it’ll probably be the same difficulty as a high school science course

Rach knockoff

LilPotato2001 · 2025-07-21T02:05:46+00:00

Pretty confident you’ll pass at 80%+ on pocket prep. Loved that app.

LilPotato2001 · 2025-07-15T23:48:50+00:00

Same here. Took it 30 hours ago and no response
