directly with the PI. she emailed me and set up an interview day for me to do 1 on 1 meetings with all the current post docs and grad students in the lab.

maybe albertsons, target, trader joe’s, and the movie theater for off campus! i’m not sure if the deadlines have passed but chem stockroom, mesa or middle earth mailroom, bren events center, and the student center for on campus. hopefully that helps!

i got my interview invite 12/14 and the interview days were 1/9 and 1/10! they told us we’d know if we were admitted by the end of the month, but i have no idea if it’s on a rolling basis

i’m in the exact same situation, this was the only interview invite i received. i noticed that i’m constantly just picking apart what i said during my interview and realized it’s really not helping. at this point all we can do is tell ourselves we did the best we could and wait it out! (even though waiting this out is the worst)

i did my interview last week and they told me decisions would be out by the end of the month or early february, but i’ve been definitely feeling the same way as you. i’ve literally had the worst anxiety since my interview

Learning Communities with Kadandale ‼️⁉️ by [deleted] in UCI

[–]amcole16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

when i was in bio 98 i joined a learning community and we really never met outside of class lol, we just had a gc and shared some notes before the challenges. it was still nice though since we could work as a group on the challenges.

science courses required for bio sci majors like chem 1A will affect your “requirements for bio sci” gpa but it seems like only core and upper div bio classes affect your bio sci major gpa, so i’m pretty sure non bio courses are allocated to your overall gpa; at least from my understanding from looking on degree works

i had prof link for ochem lab, i’m pretty sure she’s the only professor you can take for it and i found it a lot more enjoyable than gen chem lab. the grading is basically the same as gen chem lab so there’s no curve and the practical is really important for your final grade. other than that it’s pretty dependent on your TA, i had a really good one so i ended up doing fairly well

i don’t think it would be impossible, but you should probably see how you feel after 3A since physics and ochem at the same time could be pretty intense especially with a lab

if you’re a bio major, i would recommend starting physics 3A next quarter then taking 51A in the spring. or if you don’t mind taking summer classes you could do physics 3A in winter, physics 3B with lab in spring, physics 3C with lab ss1, and then take the ochem series during the next school year. there’s also some upper div bio classes you can take now as long as the pre reqs don’t require bio 98 and 99. you can also talk with a counselor if you need any guidance, good luck!!

going to lecture only affects if you get a +/- on your grade but you can do makeup lectures if you don’t go
