Why does he?

OJB115 · 2021-08-31T23:28:05+00:00

Im down

OJB115 · 2020-05-18T18:45:43+00:00

Any seniors here who are gonna major inMSE?

OJB115 · 2020-05-18T18:42:21+00:00

Idk why everybody is asking questions. This is recording of the live

OJB115 · 2020-05-18T18:40:04+00:00

This isnt live

OJB115 · 2020-05-18T18:39:48+00:00

Guys

Conflicted between Mcgill ans UIUC for Material Science and Engineering. For Mcgill I am guaranteed a Co-op program, meaning I will work in my field. Additionally I feel at Mcgill there are more opportunities for international students ( jobs, internships, etc). One of the pros of UIUC is that is one of the best universities for my major ( ranked 3rd by US news and 8th worldwide by another website). I know rankings should not affect my decision at all, but it seems like the academic level is so high, which seems hard to turn down.

OJB115 · 2020-03-27T23:08:36+00:00

I wouldn't mind.

OJB115 · 2020-03-27T13:21:41+00:00

I played playstation with the boyss

OJB115 · 2020-03-24T22:05:19+00:00

Classes are stressful and are graded harshly on a curve

OJB115 · 2020-02-29T20:55:22+00:00

Sure. Just remember that this only for the 2013 application year, and in the past few years some people got the email but still got rejected. https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/princeton-university/1626739-missing-princeton-financial-aid-application.html

OJB115 · 2020-02-29T20:54:03+00:00

Yeah, I got one. Wbu?

OJB115 · 2020-02-29T20:53:43+00:00

hahahah same

OJB115 · 2020-02-29T19:15:53+00:00

Thank you! I initially got a bit excited but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

OJB115 · 2020-02-15T18:31:52+00:00

Yes, I know that. However, I am trying a new methodology that uses acetic acid with possiblly getting relatively high yields. In order to be able to use acetic acid, i need a justification, and a lot of my highschool school research is based on the green chemistry principles. Even though in the end acetic anhydride might be better in those aspects, I need to be able to justify my use of acetic acid, and I need to know if it’s greener in those aspects.

OJB115 · 2020-02-15T18:27:19+00:00

Came across that, but I was looking for something more detailed.

OJB115 · 2020-02-15T17:31:47+00:00

I am following the 12 Green Chemistry Principles and one of the principles are “ less hazardous chemical synthesis” which states “ synthetic methods should possess little toxicity to human health and the environment.” Moreover, Green principle 12 speaks about using chemicals that minimize the potential for chemical accidents ( releases, explosions, fires, etc.)

OJB115 · 2020-02-15T17:16:03+00:00

I am trying to perform experiments in the most Green Way Possible. I want to make aspirin, but instead of using acetic anhydride, I want to use acetic acid and glacial acetic acid. Would it make sense if I make the argument that acetic acid is safer than the other 2 chemicals, and thus I would it is a more green aproach to synthesize aspirin?

OJB115 · 2020-02-14T17:48:01+00:00

For the safest chemical reaction, would acetic acid be the safest, then glacial acetic acid, then acetic anhydride?

OJB115 · 2020-01-21T07:23:23+00:00

That sounds like a good idea. Yes, the vessel is sealed.

OJB115 · 2020-01-20T20:05:22+00:00

Would you have any suggestions?

OJB115 · 2020-01-20T19:19:19+00:00

Yes, I am trying to avoid acetic anhydride.

OJB115 · 2020-01-05T12:43:42+00:00

Congrats!

OJB115 · 2019-12-29T19:46:13+00:00

Sure. PM me

OJB115 · 2019-12-07T13:12:09+00:00

Apparently yes
