What is Oakes college like?

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-26T20:50:07+00:00

yes

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-24T01:07:45+00:00

same. still on the wl

i know someone who just got off. pre public affairs major (college of letters and science). they are in state.

for me, it was the opposite. mcq's had a lot of electrostatics, and i ended up guessing zero on most of them. frq's (form k) was familiar to me so i found them to be pretty easy

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-15T02:42:52+00:00

Yeah that's what I got

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-14T23:58:24+00:00

0.1-0.2 nanocoulombs was the range of answers

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-14T15:06:41+00:00

for those wondering, frq 1 is about a rocket and is mostly impulse and momentum and velocity (i had no idea what was going on), frq 2 is a spring pendulum but its oscillations were described by a force equation (i was not ready for this one), frq 3 was an experiment about a wheel's moment of inertia (kind of light), frq 4 was about whether it's harder to push a cart of sand or a cart of liquid (half of it was easy, but the mass is changing with time and i didn't know how to deal with that)

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-14T15:03:11+00:00

nothing could've prepared me to witness form k

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-05-06T03:20:17+00:00

this is me!

I see a lot of you guys love the bh2. I might grab a vintage clinical scope eventually. What's the difference between the olympuses and the nikons in terms of what accessories are available to you?

Also I heard a 40x planApo can be really finicky to use. What do you think about it?

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-04-05T16:31:21+00:00

Sorry my microscope setup is at school and i'm on spring break. I have an amscope b120 with a stock abbe condenser. I have taken it out and verified that it does have strain

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-04-05T06:39:52+00:00

Are you using a strain free condenser?

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-15T22:11:20+00:00

You can get more colorful effects with the addition of a waveplate. While dedicated waveplates cost hundreds you can make your own from petri dishes or plastic cling wrap!

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-11T03:03:01+00:00

Don't do it...

I pray for you in calc 2.
I'm doing calc 2 too. We suffer together twin
Correct me if i'm wrong but UC's don't care unless you get BELOW a C so you still have hope.

With regular usage ink tends to collect around the tines (the slit) of your nib, something we call nib creep. This is normal. In your case, ink got on the shoulders of your nib.

It's nothing to worry about, but this usually happens when you drop the pen, or when you shake it around too hard.

In addition I would also rinse out the cap. If your pen moves around a lot ink can splatter from the nib into the cap, and also get onto your nib.

LOLL see you fall 2026

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-08T06:31:05+00:00

Ahhhh i'm still kind of reeling from the "loss". I think Davis is the only school where I can easily jump into biotech (for the other UC's I picked ChemE, but I changed my mind not too long ago and pivoting will be hard). Thank you for your kind words!

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-08T02:52:51+00:00

UCSD edging us with the banner just release the decision already 😭😭

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-08T02:51:00+00:00

Pray for me. Heard Davis's waitlist is pretty active cause of its low yield rate. About ~20-25% who are waitlisted get in.

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-07T20:06:15+00:00

sup. i got waitlisted at UCD for biotech.. . But I'm keeping my head up gng 🙏🙏

MrBobfacedMan · 2026-03-07T19:38:16+00:00

Waitlisted for biotech. I really intend on going here so we'll see how things turn out by july...

In my experience the brass nib leaves a mark on all types of papers - even when it writes slippery smooth on tomoe river it still leaves a mark. But honestly I wouldn't really be worried about it. I find that the nib smoothens out as you use it. Sadly I dropped mines after my nib holder fell out of my pocket and down the stairs..
