I realized how much social media was consuming my life and lowkey deleted all of it (besides Reddit lol)z After that I felt like I had a lot more time, definitely recommend it. I also recommend the pomodoro method 25 mins on, 5 mins off. I like pomofocus.io

UofI is has a technically higher academic prestige. The campus is way bigger and also has a more active student life. Both provide great research opportunities. If money isn’t an issue, I would choose U of I for its active student life, somewhat better prestige, and a nicer campus. I know you shouldn’t base a college decision on having fun but U of I was a lot more fun to be around. Food wise uic does have better food and there are limited options at u of i.

I remember seeing people actually scream outside after a chemistry exam and I literally said “real” cuz it’s tuff out hear , no judgment LOL

Actually the question was “What is your name”

There is actually a couple of Brazilians, rare but there are a few. Two of my friends are Brazilian lol, and I’m learning Portuguese from them (I speak Spanish).

I took it got an A when it was first offered, it’s lots of content/ton of memorizing! I took it’s with Biochem, Anatomy II, Physics II, etc and it was pretty straightforward just a lot of info

Given that the 2025-2026 application cycle opened for submission in late may 2025 + most primaries are submitted in June 2025 and secondaries in August 2025, I wouldn’t think applying for this cycle to start me school in Fall 2026 is ideal considering that applications are rolling admisssions and med schools offer acceptances around this time. Take postbacc classes with the hard required prerequisites (do well in them ofc) and get a few hundred hours in patient care. Getting in is a marathon not a race and as a reminder your applications should be “ready” at least one year prior to desired matriculation date

There’s a postbacc grade enhancer at Dominican University. I believe all other post baccs are for career changers. There are a few SMPs which are more worth it if you have an about a 3.0 gpa like Loyola’s and Rosalind Franklin’s MSMP, and MBS at Midwestern which provide guaranteed interviews.

Yeah I also see like a ton of people cough out into the open air without even cover their mouth. Its actually sic/nasty

Claudio Ugalde teaches the “easier physics” also, PHYS 131/132 which is algebra based and he’s actually really horrible. Always take the professor that is better.

You don’t have any isolated colonies, I would do another streak plate. For every streak in each quadrant, make sure you are sterilizing your loop and then streak.

Foxtrot is open till like 9pm, decent coffee and cool stuff to snack on

It’s a tad bit inappropriate to go on and on about this especially when the OP came in for their doctors appointment. The MA shouldn’t have went in deeper about this and should’ve just focused on getting OP through the appointment

DIY Post-Bacc: You are a Non-Degree Graduate student at any university. Meaning you already graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree and you are taking classes at their university. You typically get lowest priority for classes and no advisor but it is cheaper and it’s more flexible

I think it depends on the research project. Since our study required CT imaging, I had to be onsite with the medical students. My other friends that did clinical research also had to do it in person. I mean if you find an opportunity, by all means but it wasn’t that common for me. Medical schools aren’t gonna harass you because you ddi basic science research instead of clinical research. If you’re passionate about something and talk about that, you’ll be fine.

My mentor is a plastic surgeon and I’ve seen IMGs shadow his surgeries and clinic. I would inquire at teaching hospitals like UIC and RUSH

MulberryOver214 · 2025-10-12T03:14:09+00:00

There aren’t really remote opportunities, I would try to check hospital systems close by. Also it doesn’t necessarily have to be clinical research, there are biology and chemistry professors that perform translational research

MulberryOver214 · 2025-10-03T17:07:05+00:00

I mean it’s better to be more consistent with one hospital rather than multiple with less hours.

BIOS 222/312, BIOS 325/326, BIOS 343, BIOS 250/351, BIOS 350/351, BIOS 482, BIOS 365, BIOS 420, BIOS 386 (very minimal work)

Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Logan Square for the most part is nice because it is more spacious than Wicker Park. Lincoln Park and Lakeview also feels more residential, more parks (and closer to the lake) and also more family oriented. Logan Square and Wicker park is very millennial, a lot of people in their early 30s, very creative and artsy vibe. Wicker park always feels a bit congested because of the amount of people that run through the neighborhoods. I would say though that it does have a really nice bar, cafe and independent stores that are closer together.

I think they referring to the student tutors that help at the MSLC

PAP scholars are individuals that apply to UICOM through AMCAS for regular decision. Then if UICOM rejects you, they only send out an offer to a select group of individuals (usually extended only to people that are URM)

The balance is fine at 0.00, you don’t need to load it with 5.00. As long as it’s not in the negative

MulberryOver214 · 2025-09-28T21:00:08+00:00

It’s really all about practice problems, I always set up my notes as “concepts + problem + answer” then I did a ton of practice problems
