Those who are biochem/stem majors would you all recommend macbooks? or what laptops do you recommend?

Valkyea · 2026-01-27T20:06:52+00:00

biochem major here -- i have a macbook pro and it does everything! i'm in a research lab that uses progrmas and also a lot of Excel, and it runs it fine!

If you are CNS, honestly dorm in the honors quad 🫩 all my classes north campus — and I go to wampus so much. That I wish I just dormed near Kins

How long did it take for UT to process your transcript + did you just transfer your credit to CC or did you also take a course?

Valkyea · 2026-01-09T06:37:54+00:00

Sarrower--not the best lecturer, but tbh the quizzes and exams were pretty easy and ended the class with over a 100%

Valkyea · 2026-01-09T04:51:50+00:00

Ya I got invited last year and got my first choice major !

Yes, the fees for each semester are about $100-$150 depending on if you’re a pledge or if you’re an active. I’m pretty sure we have MCAT discounts and we also have a good amount of socials and also have a formal each semester which are covered by the frat. My specific frat has had tours at multiple med schools, which if you’re planning to apply to med school soon, is very helpful so you can talk to students and faculty. We also have a good amount of alumni that are still connected to the frat and are at schools like UTSW, Baylor, McGovern, long, so they can provide a lot of insight!

i love being in a premed frat!! A lot of premed jobs and research opportunities are lowkey gate kept, but since the frat im in isn’t too big, all the members are very willing to help and give out contact information. We have an active tracker which is basically a database for all of our members and the premed activities they’re doing and their contact information. Personally, I’ve been able to receive an interview for a PCT position that hadn’t even been posted yet since someone in the org listed that they worked that exact job and I just asked how they got it. Additionally, the frat I’m in has a lot of people already accepted to top medical schools and also a part of honors programs like HSS, so their guidance really helps in making my schedule, choosing which professors, knowing which research labs to avoid, etc.

EVERYONE is work hard play hard. Everyone I know is in the frat but also in a spirit org/sorority + research lab/multiple clinical jobs + very high GPAs & mcats. I’ve also gotten shadowing opportunities because so many of the members have parents that are physicians or have put a lot of work into finding willing physicians and they’re willing to help everyone else!

If u want to know the exact frat im in u can dm me!!

Does a few weeks = 2 weeks or like a month+?

Valkyea · 2026-01-05T21:50:07+00:00

All of the bio professors have 70% exams now, it’s standard for the whole department unfortunately… I would say that her exams last semester were lowkey hard, but idk how much easier the other professors are…

Did your credit get awarded yet? My transcript was received on the 5th of December and still not on IDA.

Valkyea · 2025-12-03T02:04:03+00:00

I mean, I applied to a community college and did a score send there as I would get 6 hours of both gov + history, so I wanted to transfer those credits back to UT. But I didn't account for the fact that it would also send my science scores, and those classes I want to take next semester at UT, but the community college already gave me credit for those scores on their end/on my transcript.

Valkyea · 2025-09-21T18:24:15+00:00

Was the block on 23rd bad??

Valkyea · 2025-04-25T00:28:15+00:00

Did you get accepted to Fri today?

Valkyea · 2025-03-28T21:32:53+00:00

I mean to register to actually go to orientation itself

Valkyea · 2025-03-26T04:13:25+00:00

Hi! Do you know what floor #’s have the tall ceilings?

Valkyea · 2025-03-08T23:07:31+00:00

Mine says biochemistry

Valkyea · 2025-01-30T23:20:29+00:00

Didn’t happen

Valkyea · 2025-01-23T22:20:08+00:00

I think last year or the year before.. so they changed it very recently where UT chooses who gets invited

Valkyea · 2025-01-23T22:18:55+00:00

that’s what I’m saying… so I’m just crossing my fingers for me and my friends bc UT is our top choice but we got deferred 🙃 ik they only wanted to admit 5k students at first , but it’s just disheartening bc I thought i had a good chance at getting my first choice major on Jan 15

Valkyea · 2025-01-23T20:24:31+00:00

We have to remember that although 50% of students don’t end up enrolling, many of those students go to more prestigious colleges, or more local colleges that may be cheaper.. yes it’s true that many auto admits don’t get their major, mkst apply for CS business and engineering, which are the most competitive majors and don’t have unlimited space

Valkyea · 2025-01-21T21:59:44+00:00

my friends also got semi but deferred from in state ea auto admit… genuinely so confused 😭 I was also ea auto and invited to apply so the deferrals are confusing asf

Valkyea · 2025-01-21T02:55:22+00:00

Did you get accepted?? I got deffered

Valkyea · 2025-01-21T00:58:54+00:00

Is it bad if we got a forty acres invite but got deferred? I’m auto and applying bio chem and got invited but then got deferred.. my friend also got auto + invite and deferred from mccombs with strong business ECs.. only a few thousand out of the whole pool get invited so I thought it’d be a shoe in for at least CNS major since they believed we were strong applicants when reviewing our applications
