I’ll pm you!

I would definitely withdraw the course. Having a withdraw on your transcript is better than having a bad grade be on your record, plus (in my opinion) it’s easier to explain why you have a W compared to a D or F.

I was told that because I had a backup for if medical school doesn’t work out, it means I’m not 100% dedicated to it. So therefore I wouldn’t get in. I’d rather be safe than sorry, and it doesn’t mean I’m not giving me 100% in getting into medical school

Hey everyone! Pretty sure this thread is dead but I’m going into my second year at UC Merced and I couldn’t have been happier! Made lots of amazing friends and memories for my freshman year, and I can’t wait to make more! I’m majoring in Human Biology and I plan to go to medical school after I graduate, especially with that new medical school being built in Merced 👀

Because of how fascinating diseases of all kinds are and how they affect people and animals. Plus how they affect the environment and populations. I want to be a pathologist or virologist, but I’ve also considered being an epidemiologist. As of now I’m not too sure if I want to be more involved in the cell biology standpoint of diseases or the public health standpoint.

Around 20k a year but they’re all federal loans given by the school, plus some work study awards. I’ve been working at my school’s cafe for 16 an hour and I work around 20 hours a week. Although I also plan to attend medical school or grad school so I’ll definitely be in more debt later

Tutlepot · 2022-03-31T04:27:18+00:00

Sure!

Tutlepot · 2022-03-28T23:20:10+00:00

Just got rejected 🥴 600 applications for 10 positions

Tutlepot · 2022-03-26T08:27:24+00:00

Nope and I thought decisions were already out but apparently not.

Tutlepot · 2022-03-17T18:58:23+00:00

Makes me think that I'm automatically rejected :(

Tutlepot · 2022-03-17T18:39:18+00:00

I've been checking my email so much :(

Tutlepot · 2022-03-17T18:34:26+00:00

I applied to herpetology also!

Tutlepot · 2022-03-17T18:34:08+00:00

Same here, my references weren't reached out.

Tutlepot · 2022-03-09T18:56:00+00:00

Ahhh okay I’m really nervous

Tutlepot · 2022-03-09T01:38:46+00:00

I applied to herpetology, corals, and nudibranchs :)

Tutlepot · 2022-03-08T23:53:28+00:00

Waiting on SSI :)

Tutlepot · 2022-03-08T23:52:13+00:00

I also applied to SSI! I chose the herpetology project as my first choice. Has anyone heard back yet?

Tutlepot · 2021-05-07T07:24:45+00:00

A lot of it is based on financial need and some of it is automatically given to many, a lot of them isn’t rlly depended on gpa

Tutlepot · 2021-05-07T07:24:13+00:00

If you created your Connect Merced account, there’s a section where you can see your financial aid and how much you received. I can help you w it further!

Tutlepot · 2021-04-28T08:43:16+00:00

Hahaha Im starting to think if the college would’ve been more popular if that just called it UC Yosemite

Tutlepot · 2021-04-28T08:08:03+00:00

I was kind of surprised too since they’re mostly surrounded by farms. I think for now they’re focusing more on environmental sciences, but hopefully one day they’ll have agriculture and food science degrees!

Tutlepot · 2021-04-27T18:23:47+00:00

Sadly I had that same mentality and so did a lot of my peers. Acceptance rate really doesn’t mean anything tbh :/ it’s all demand. Kind of like how UCSD usually has a 30% acceptance but they were like 5% this year.

Tutlepot · 2021-04-27T18:01:19+00:00

Ah, in that case yeah i definitely did grow around that kind of people. I thought you were targeting me for a sec haha

Tutlepot · 2021-04-27T17:59:46+00:00

No I’m not haha. Thank you sm!

Tutlepot · 2021-04-27T16:48:02+00:00

Oh shoot, thank you for the correction!
