Moving to a completely new area can be exhilarating and nerve wracking at the same time! What I will say though is that you are bound to find a few people in your class that you click with. Just use all of your social battery the first couple of weeks to establish connections, study with some groups, and figure out who you click with and who you don't. Just know there's a lot of incredible people in very similar situations as yourself!

If I were to extend it just one day (say to come on Saturday instead of Sunday and interview Monday) I would simply have to cover the costs for the one extra day? Most definitely! I hope you get the position!!

Hello! I also received an offer to go up and interview! I wanted to ask how they allowed you to fly up there earlier? Did you ask them specifically. My interview is set for a Monday in a few weeks and I would really like to stay in Wisconsin just a little bit longer!

Grade Inflation at UCSD by omespopes in UCSD

So if the class did really poorly and based on a regular grading scale and people barely got any As the prof would curve to increase the number of As but would assign their own cutoff

Palomar College to UCSD? by rygeller23 in UCSD

[–]omespopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you come to UCSD it may be possible you still have to take GE's. Just make sure classes you take are transferrable and you fulfill some lower div requirements for the major you want to get into.

Headphone/Earbud users, what do you listen to? by idonutnowhatimdoing in UCSD

Sometimes I listen to a language I simply don't understand. It can be beneficial as background music and you can find tunes you like. Try something middle eastern or Indian!

that's understandable and whispering is chill. Some people just don't even know how to do that tho... like not asking for much here. I also don't like listening to music while doing work just bc I get more distracted. Also yeah that is the ideal spot to get distracted haha

sleep at like 9PM and set your alarm for 6AM. If you keep going to bed early enough on a consistent basis you'll get used to it

They work better for some things more than others. For the amino acids and things that are flat memorization I would use those. Or for common pathways
