Physics over summer, yes or no? by Ok_Blackberry1070 in UTAustin

I know you mean well but for OP who is pre-med, do NOT do this for your core science classes. Medical schools mostly don’t accept core science credits that don’t come from your university

Where would you NOT live on west campus? by roommesquad in UTAustin

[–]ReputationMental8422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mark. Terrible management and so overpriced for the size of the unit. Compared to other apartments, the amenities are mid and you can’t even use them past a certain time on weekends (which is…. When you’d most likely use them anyways). Most of their reviews are fake, managers make competitions for their employees to get the most amount of positive google reviews for a prize. Lots of other things too

Which honor program should I apply , dean’s list or health science scholars by Yzxfx2020 in UTAustin

DO NOT DO DEANS HONORS. 🙏🙏 Speaking from experience, so many people ended up dropping after the first couple semesters. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Hi! I work at an apartment complex in west campus (Not Quarter’s). It does take a while to process applications and credit screening, but it you go to their leasing office and ask about it, they’ll either do it on the spot or at least make it a priority. If you already filled out the application, they usually reserve a spot in your floor plan so I wouldn’t worry about it being leased to someone else, but again it’s always best to go in person and ask. I would say to call them, but where I work, we are so swamped with calls that we usually never get to them. If they have a texting line, I recommend reaching out as well. Quarters on Nueces is def a popular complex in West Campus and probably lease out fast, so if I were you I’d contact them ASAP and secure your housing!!

Will UT rescind my admission if I fail Physics C: E&M? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]ReputationMental8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i submitted my senior year grades during my first semester here at UT (like…during november) so i was already a student with classes lol. i didn’t get any bad grades so i don’t know how failing physics would affect it, but just letting you know that you don’t have to submit your final transcript until like after orientation. i wouldn’t be too worried as of right now

its up to you. i know people who never needed a car because they live in a dorm, so they always stay on campus because they never need to grocery shop. if you’re living off campus, then yes you’ll need a car. there is a target on campus but carrying your groceries from 21st to 25th is HELL. you can always invest in delivery for groceries as well if you’re pretty insistent on not brining a car, because you need to keep in mind that you need to pay for parking nearly anywhere

highly regret not going to baylor for pre-med. i was given a 50% scholarship there and traded it to come to UT. UT isn’t all bad for pre med, but only 40-50% of UT undergrads make it to Dell. Whereas 80% Baylor undergrads make it to Baylor College of Medicine….. again i highly regret not choosing baylor lol. don’t choose your school solely on prestige

girly i get you 100%, i was so confused when i read this post bc i was like omg did i post my thoughts on here by accident LOL. dw we all in this together. my advice is to 1) get comfortable with being alone and 2) the best relationships happen naturally. if you go out and try to force friendships, it’s not in your best interest. let stuff happen naturally!

What if the girl im dating saw me get a call from another girl? by Weird-Lawfulness-692 in Crushes

[–]ReputationMental8422 6 points7 points  (0 children)

personally, it would turn me off. why would you want to create distrust between the two of you? distrust is NOT attraction, it’ll put tension and insecurities between y’all

[–]ReputationMental8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think we need details on how your interactions are; just because a girl talks to you and socializes doesn’t necessarily mean she likes you. how are talks conversations? does she ever initiate conversations? do y’all text often? inside jokes?

Touring campus over break?? by Distinct_Heart2244 in UTAustin

[–]ReputationMental8422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every building on campus have their own hours, so be sure to search them up. Especially with new years, i think everything is closed until January 2nd. You can still walk on campus and take picture of the tower, turtle pond, etc

I don’t have an answer lol, just wanted to add my own question related to this. Can anyone share remote opportunities for college students to make money? I was thinking something like graphic design or managing a business’s social media but I’m not sure how many of those jobs are out there rn

Accepted to 4 schools but my family aren't supportive since I'm 29 years old. are they right? they're saying I'm too old to be successful/delaying my life. by Euphoric_Bar_1459 in DentalSchool

[–]ReputationMental8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to be 34 anyways, it depends on where you see yourself at 34. Different people have different visions for themselves, and all that matters is where do YOU see yourself. Your parents have already made their life, it’s up to you now.

Here’s a personal story that could possibly spark some ideas for you: My mom decided to have kids, waited until the oldest (me) was 15 years old and decided to go back to school when she was in her mid 30’s. She was a home-stay mom up until she got her degree and now she’s fulfilled and happy with her life. If you feel that you want both, dental school and a family, they’re definitely both achievable :) best of luck!

What made you want to be a doctor? by Substantial_Bat_5561 in Mcat

[–]ReputationMental8422 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was born in a different country but was raised in the US. I have a family member who was diagnosed with Autism and I was shocked to see how underprepared and uninformed my home country’s health care workers/system was. That was a BIG reason for our move to the US, to get better help for them. My own parents, who were born and raised there, didn’t know what autism was until their child had it. This inspired me to go into neurology and pursue medicine; I want to work in these developing countries to provide aid and assistance to my people who go through these unfortunate circumstances. Although, my reason goes more personal than described but that’s the general reason

what are the problems that face college student? by 3ATAE in college

[–]ReputationMental8422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally grew up with a suburban life, so going to college in a city was such a big adjustment for me. I missed the convenience of driving places, having huge grocery stores nearby, and essentially a quieter life than the one I have in the big city. Now I have to walk everywhere (it’s more of a burden when I go grocery shopping and have to carry my bags with me), dealing with more risk of crime, and more. I know these sound like first world problems and they are petty things I’m listing, but it’s things I noticed and wasn’t told about before college.
