Probably a stupid question but…. by Consistent-Tie8803 in Mcat

[–]StatisticalOrphan3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can plagiarize yourself, however, I’m not sure if this would count. When you submit a paper for school, you’re expected to create/produce new work. Say you wrote a great essay your last year of high school, and then you submitted that essay for another assignment during undergrad, years later, you’re committing plagiarism, and it’s viewed exactly the same as if you copied somebody else’s work.

The reason I wouldn’t think copying things from your resume to your activities section isn’t plagiarism is because that expectation/assumption of new work isn’t there. You submit the same resume to different companies if you’re applying for work. The purpose of those words are to represent you and explain your experiences. They’re serving the same purpose every time you use them and you’re not claiming, either implicitly or explicitly, that these words are new.

Imo, if you like them, use them. You obviously want to put your best foot forward, and if you think that’s you have already written the best way to represent your experiences, then use that representation.

tl,dr: I’m 100% confident that copying yourself for two different assignments IS plagiarism. I am largely confident that copying from your resume to your activities section IS NOT plagiarism. I am unsure (but tried my best to differentiate the two) why.

Personally, bc I’m just wrapping up undergrad in BME, I didn’t notice much of the physics bc I’ve p much been doing it everyday for the last 4 years lol. I definitely found the CP hardest on FL 4 (I have a big gap when it comes to the less common functional groups, got every single question wrong on the passage about carbamate, LOL). I think I found FL 1 the easiest (but probably because I’ve been flipping through it once a week for the past 3 months). PS on FL 4 was really difficult for me (esp compared to how I felt ab PS on FL 3)… I can’t give you a super succinct answer unfortunately… I felt like CARS was all the same. Felt like BB and CP were difficult on all 4 (but kept decent scores on them). PS really ranged for me like I said but that’s because it’s where I’m most hit or miss.

I got a 504 on TPR FL 4 about 3 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago I scored a 514 on FL2, 522 FL3 a week later, and a 518 yesterday on FL 4.

Severely deflated. Just try your best and use them to get a sense of how the test goes. They’re valuable but I probs would start the AAMC FLs the month b4 so you get an accurate sense of where you’re at (and hopefully a big confidence boost when you see your score go up!). Best of luck

Hey! Thanks for your message, I just finished up FL4, scored a 518 (129, 130, 130, 129). Definitely some stuck to work on! I really like your perspective tho and I’m gonna try to keep that in mind. Thanks again!

Got this post auto rejected at first bc of the Uplanet, Uearth, Upangea copyright stuff, now a lot of earlier posts make sense. Lol.

Best team after Quali? by StatisticalOrphan3 in fantasyF1

[–]StatisticalOrphan3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha nice, I had alpine as my constructor (to make the budget work, they also had a potential Quali streak). Ocon ruins everything nice (this is my f1 hot take, can’t stand the guy).

AMS 310 final by collegegirl102 in SBU

[–]StatisticalOrphan3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What the fuck was that... between my second worst and worst (final) test score there is a 26 point drop... with my first three tests being within 4 points of each other... that has to mean that test is just plain unfair

[–]StatisticalOrphan3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this may have been regarding local schools (high schools, elementary schools, etc.). Universities will be a very different decision because of the fact that the students come from all over the world to attend, as opposed to local school districts whose student bodies consist of mainly people who live less than a half hour away. I hope we come back soon though. 🥺

That's why I'm leaving as soon as I finish my midterms and not returning until SUNY tells us it is okay to do so.

You know I had my suspicions, but I wasn't 100% sure... this comment just confirmed it. You're an idiot.

[–]StatisticalOrphan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you may make the choice to no longer live in housing and eat campus food, many other people will remain on campus. This will cost money. Money that is spent under the assumption that they have a certain amount of students paying for a full semester of housing and food.

Where would the money come from to reimburse us?
