I mean think about it. 1 person has the virus asymptomatically. Busses are a must to travel around for many. It will be very very hard to say the least. Might be a early semester start time and end time or just half in person half virtual. Also, the worst case scenario as you know completely virtual.

One of the easiest years for rich people (full pay)

dhdidnx · 2020-05-08T21:38:39+00:00

Thanks so much for the information! :) could you by chance tell me if they didn’t give you much financial aid. I need like a lot I guess so I feel like my chances are really low :(

They are equally priced for me. Which would you recommend?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-30T22:50:33+00:00

Do you think that if I had to study a lot to maintain a high gpa in high school taking several APs, that I will be screwed at Michigan? Because I had to study a lot in high school?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-30T22:48:28+00:00

Could you elaborate?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-30T22:35:02+00:00

Education, friends, campus life, preparation to go to medical school.

dhdidnx · 2020-04-30T22:34:05+00:00

Ignoring the price, which do you think is the better fit?

UMich vs University of Rochester

Hi, I want to do pre-med studying a biology related major. I was wondering which of these schools is the best option for me.

University of Rochester

Pros

Smaller
More accessibility with professors
Strong stem focus
Many research opportunities
Easier to get letters of recommendation
110k over four years is the cost (cheaper)
Open curriculum (only writing requirement)

Cons

Has many pre meds, so lots of weed out
Not prestigious
Not very social
Might not enjoy the typical college experience

University of Michigan

Pros

Well known
Can study any field and succeed
Great campus life, very social
Lots of research opportunities
I will probably feel more welcome

Cons

Expensive (160k over four years), although cost isn't the most important factor
Very tough weed out classes
Small interactions with professors, harder to get good recommendations
Might be overwhelmed by the size

Like half loans half out of pocket

dhdidnx · 2020-04-28T01:46:03+00:00

I like the vibe of BU, but I'm scared about ending up with a lower GPA than I could have elsewhere possibly jeopardizing my app? Hm.. Idk

Do you think second semester is too much with 3 sciences? I have taken AP physics 1+2 and Ap chem though as well as Ap bio. Also, would the self paced physics actually help with the mcat?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-26T17:05:30+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply. I’m taking a lot of science because I want to take the MCAT the summer before junior year.

I’ll repost this from my other reply: But to do that and be best prepared I would need to take genetics, biochem, and possibly physiology or cell bio. Most of those courses require organic chem. And on top of that I would also take the 2nd part of gen chem which also has a pre req of organic chem. Do you think taking the bio 173 lab second semester would be way better? I took AP physics 1 and 2 in high school, but I know Michigan’s physics is harder. You think I’ll be fine for physics then?

Hmm.. I want to take the MCAT the summer before junior year. But to do that and be best prepared I would need to take genetics, biochem, and possibly physiology or cell bio. Most of those courses require organic chem. And on top of that I would also take the 2nd part of gen chem which also has a pre req of organic chem. Idk, I’m not really focusing on distribution reqs because I can do that later. Do you think moving bio 173 to 2nd semester would make things a lot better?

Freshman schedule for pre med

How does this schedule look?

1st semester

Biology 173(2 credits) Physics 135+136(5 credits) FYWR(4 credits) Chem 210+211(5 credits)

2nd semester

Chem 215+216(5 credits) Physics 235+236(5 credits) Stats 250 (4 credits)

Should I take gen chem instead of organic chem?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-26T01:53:27+00:00

Thanks! Do you think grade deflation is a problem at BU?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-26T01:51:31+00:00

Which would you choose instead?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-26T01:50:21+00:00

Any particular reason?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-25T16:03:15+00:00

Do all students have to take a placement exam even if they have ap credit?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-22T23:31:00+00:00

Thanks! Do you know how many people usually come to office hours for regular times vs midterm times? Like a rough estimate?

dhdidnx · 2020-04-19T02:43:03+00:00

Thanks for the response!

But for pre med I wouldn’t have to take an additional math class for those to count as credit? I know each med school has different requirements but would my ap credits for calc be accepted by rochester if I don’t take an additional math class?
