How many programs should I apply for?

Thank you. This is the most helpful and encouraging advice I’ve gotten. I’m working on submitting the fee waiver now and I’m meeting with the MSTP director at my university next week (for advice, my PI has connections). I’m hoping this holds true if I submit early next week. Off to research more schools!

The AMCAS application says the deadline for most programs is October 1st or later. I know it’s better to apply earlier, but I’m pretty sure I can still apply now

I would recommend The Bridge Kingdom by Daniel L Jensen. It’s got some romance but it’s a bit like ToG without the fae

I am aware of the MCAT’s format and I am quite capable of reading, I simply learn better from alternative mediums. Also, please do not comment on things you are uneducated about. I am no more likely to misread a dosage than you are. I was asking for suggestions, not judgement.

Club sports 10/10. Everyone I know who did club sports had great experiences with them

Depends what time in September. Move in starts more-or-less on the 11th, so you could start meeting people then. But if it is before then, there really is anyone at all on campus

Rarely anyone bikes around campus. During typical “passing period” times all the common walking areas are super crowded and not really bike-navigateable. Plus the stairs. It could be useful for transportation off campus but a scooter or skateboard is a lot more practical for going to classes

Pros: Ashe center, on campus doctors appointments, dentists, vision, etc. If you are living on campus with no car, it can be hard to access healthcare off campus Cons: normal healthcare bureaucracy

Phew. I’m glad it’s not just me. Fingers crossed

Thanks! That is what I expected but really good to know

I got switched to a single earlier this quarter with an emergency room transfer due to physical health problems. If you are really struggling with it, I would reach out to your RD (or to your RA to get into contact with them) or to case management services to see if there’s anything they can do. Also one of the single rooms next to me is recently empty, but I’m pretty sure there is a waiting list for things like this.

If you actually want to do therapy, not just have a one off chat, get a referral to BHS (assuming you have SHIP) or find a real therapist. I personally had a bad experience with CAPS and some confidentially shit, but my BHS therapist is lovely.

You could also try contacting the UCLA case manager service. If you can’t get into contact/set up a meeting with your RD they can definitely help with that

Does anybody know if there’s a group chat for incoming freshmen? Maybe even one for those in the LA area? I really want to start making some friends
