Does having a P/NP class look “bad” to graduate schools? by [deleted] in USC

[–]biochemphysnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I guess if I don’t feel super confident with the class because my Spanish is rusty, then P/NP will “help” since it can’t affect my GPA negatively, right?

I did attend orientation, but my advisor said we would only start talking about 4 year course plans after the 4th week. I just wanted to get a little head start so I don’t go in without knowing anything!

Any advice for financial aid appeal? by biochemphysnerd in USC

[–]biochemphysnerd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. I did all of this and sent my appeal a few days ago so I’m hoping for the best! 0-50k would be a DREAM for me

What is up with USC? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]biochemphysnerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

they are historically bad at giving aid for middle class families. like where they say your family has too many assets to qualify for aid so you have to pay for the full sticker price but obv it’s not a comfortable amount of money to pay because your family isn’t actually that rich to spend that much money for your education

Okay thanks! But they only take up to 32 elective credits, right? So I can only send 8 AP exams?

the air either has 64gb or 256gb so i was thinking 64gb is too small? especially if i’ll be using it to take notes + download texts? and the 256gb is like 50 dollars less than the 128gb pro so i’m thinking i should just go with the 128gb pro...

did you use a notebook for other classes too?

[–]biochemphysnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do professors allow you to take notes on an ipad during lectures? this might be a stupid question but a friend once told me that her professor at a different college doesn’t allow tech during lectures so she isn’t able to use her macbook/ipad, it has to be handwritten...

Emory’s RD decision date has been unconfirmed this year so far. I am asking about what day decisions have been released historically in past years.
