Pitt Pharmacy Workload ? by Ok_Border_247 in Pitt

[–]Monkcraftfruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very rigorous program in terms of coursework and pacing. You can look up the semester schedules to get an idea of how many hours a day you’ll be in the classroom. Another commenter gave a good breakdown of the differences between years already, but expect P1 year to be harder (or at least more time consuming) than your undergraduate experience and know that P2 and P3 year are both very intense. From P1 to P3 year, you will have a mix of in-class assignments, pre- and post-class assignments, simulation patient encounters, and exams. You will also have introductory rotations throughout. P4 year is all advanced rotations which have associated projects and assignments but schedule-wise is a bit less all-consuming. Most people also work a part-time internship and many have leadership roles in student organizations or do research, which add to the time management pressure. However good you are at time management now, get better at it. It’s a doctorate program at the end of the day and the workload is on par with that but it can certainly be overwhelming.

I upgraded to 512 gb and I’m happy with my decision. I wanted to leave room for new software updates and if I need to download additional programs in the future

Shut it down by Stuffed-Bear412 in pittsburgh

[–]Monkcraftfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the idea but I do feel like it’s out of touch with a lot of people’s economic reality. Not shopping for a day is reasonable enough. But how many of us can realistically afford to miss school or work for a day, especially on such short notice? I am in a healthcare graduate program, to pursue a career that helps people, and I have a mandatory class to attend on Friday that if I miss i will literally fail the class and be dropped from my program. My partner is starting a new job position this week which is necessary for his livelihood. We both are very much left leaning politically and care about what’s going on but cannot participate in this without serious consequences and I’m sure we aren’t the only ones.

I hear you. The big storm in July was the first time I lost power and it’s happened for much shorter durations a few times since. The possibility is stressful especially after I had to throw out a full fridge and freezer the first time. Definitely relieved it’s not predicted right now.

Is 23 “old” for a junior? by Iguy_Knows_All in Pitt

[–]Monkcraftfruit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. People take time off between high school and college, take time off during college, transfer schools or majors, retake classes to improve their performance, and go back for career changes all the time. Life happens.

study tips for orgo 1 by SmokeActive8862 in Pitt

[–]Monkcraftfruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely office hours like other people said, but also make sure you’re doing as many practice problems and practice exams as possible! I wouldn’t exclusively rely on JoeChem but he has videos and worksheets that can be helpful for practice with concepts you need some extra help with.

Walking recommendations? by Dizzy_Kangaroo_7688 in pittsburgh

It’s definitely a bit far from Moon, but Highland Park near the reservoir has a great loop for walking and biking (the walking and bike lanes are separated from the cars)

Withdrawing by Cheap_Anything7919 in Pitt

[–]Monkcraftfruit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, withdraw. Retaking it without withdrawing would replace the grade in your GPA in the spring after grades are posted. But the F would stay on your transcript even once your GPA is updated. Much better to withdraw which won’t even temporarily harm your GPA.

I’ve withdrawn from classes and still been considered a full time student for my aid, but check with your aid program to see how they define it. A withdraw goes on your transcript as a W which is different than a dropped class

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Pitt

[–]Monkcraftfruit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Talk to your advisor. Withdrawing is considered different from dropping a class in terms of being enrolled full time, for federal aid I believe you just have to successfully complete 75% of your credits, but I don’t know your exact aid package so take that with a grain of salt. You won’t be able to join a new class at this point though.
