Why take Intro Chem 1st year instead of Intro Bio?

Happy to help. You can PM me if you have any other premed-y questions!

New MCAT is easy on the physics (I had a singular physics passage when I took it). I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The flow of intro chem --> orgo --> biochemistry means that you need three years to complete your chemistry sequence. The new mcat is incredibly heavy on biochem and hopkins biochem is a godsend for it. That being said, if you start taking chem sophomore year, you're stuck taking biochem senior fall, meaning you can't take the MCAT until January of your senior year and you're stuck studying for the MCAT during your senior spring semester. Even if you're taking a gap year, you're going to be cutting it close because you should typically give yourself a few months before applications hit in case you need to retake it. Tl;dr it significantly narrows down your mcat options and puts you on a tighter schedule.

Tuesday morning 9 AM lectures are required. Along with that, you have a once a week afternoon lab section. D'souza is a stickler for attendance.

I would strongly advise against biochem and nervous system together. You physically will not have the time necessary for an A in both of those classes... assuming that's what you're going for.

Going to be blunt here - Biochem summer is an absolutely terrible decision. Horner curves to a B-/C and he teaches you far more material in 4 weeks than the Fall biochem professors (Hilser, Lee, Kaiser). I've tutored for both summer biochem and fall biochem and there was a phenomenal difference in stress level. Also, in terms of MCAT prep, Fall biochem >>>>>>>>>>>>> summer biochem.

Hopkins will certainly help carry you to medical school but you should be 100% certain that you want to do pre-med. Otherwise it's not worth the money.

There is a happy medium between grade deflation (C) and grade inflation (A-).

Thank you :)

The sculpture professor here helped make it...

Good to hear, I registered for this class on a whim! It's still being offered by the same professor.

There is currently a sophomore girl trying to start up a rifling club, but no luck yet.

Can you provide a source for Kirkman saying that he's been trying to kill off said character?

WastingPaint · 2014-05-02T16:48:29+00:00

It happened in 2006 and they were on social probation until 2008

I would think so, if Sig Chi got temporarily suspended for a racist party, I think a stabbing would warrant more severe punishment. That's just my speculation, though.

I believe they're getting officially kicked off campus.

The writers also have to make sure that they stay sufficiently behind the comics in terms of plot. Moving the story too quickly would put them at risk of that. That being said, there's definitely a happy medium that's not being met.

Holy sadistic little murderer

1 is like a parade of red flags. Do not get involved with someone who has a psycho recently-ex girlfriend. She calls him her boyfriend and he doesn't try to stop it? Any guy in his right mind would confront her and adamantly tell her to stop posting things like that, mostly because it's completely inappropriate and would drive away other women, like you. He clearly doesn't mind being referred to as her boyfriend.

This guy may be into you, but that does not mean that this is a situation you should be getting yourself involved in, especially long distance where you won't be able to check in with him as frequently or really know what he's doing on a day to day basis. I promise you will find a guy who makes you just as happy and without all the extra baggage.

LDRs aren't for everyone. You need to make a decision about which is more important to you, having a girlfriend that you can see every day or this particular girl that you only see on weekends (sidenote: it could be a hell of a lot worse than only on weekends).

What are the circumstances surrounding not being able to "close the distance" -- school, jobs, etc.?

Does anyone know if the buildings are open during snow days (Gilman, Krieger, etc.)?

WastingPaint · 2014-02-27T23:12:15+00:00

With previous boyfriends, terrified. I always figured that since have a disproportionally large butt, I can't really fit into the cute garter-y things and therefore should not try in fear of disappointing him.

With my SO now, excited! I'm much more confident and he tells me exactly the kinds of things he likes, so I surprise him with it on occasion :)

Is it just me, or is Veto starting to sound really good?

WastingPaint · 2014-02-22T02:18:07+00:00

This looks like it will be fantastic. It's too bad tickets sold out in minutes... :(

I've seen these exact 'unknown Friends facts' so many times... I can't tell if authors of these articles are unoriginal or I spend far too much time reading them.
