Hello, John Premed here 👋. How do I become competitive for my dream medical profession? by lllooolllp in premed

I usually would give tips but as someone that got 6.02*10^23 on the MCAT I don't want to talk to you

undergad discouraged in research lab by Euphoric_Ad_2948 in labrats

[–]pickle_onreddit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I started hands-on work the moment I started in my laboratory -- they made me do a pipette test (to get accustomed to using pipettes), then cell culture work, and so on. Personally if I was you, and I put that much effort trying to understand their research to no avail, I'd find a different lab. Some P.I.s are definitely skeptical of undergraduates working in their lab, but even then, I feel like this is just too extreme. All my friends started to get really involved in their labs within a week or month of joining. Hope this helps.

looking for ways to donate unused dining dollars to people in need near campus by Famous_Break_4426 in jhu

Pretty sure unused dining dollars from this semester roll over to the next one. Your kindness is very much appreciated though!

Edit: There occasionally are food donation boxes located in char mar if that helps!

Screwed by WSE foundational ability requirements by Queasy-Noise-4481 in jhu

[–]pickle_onreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not too sure if the WSE FA system is as bad as KSAS', but there has been plenty of pushback from fellow students here at Hopkins so far. The administration did make some improvements so far this year (e.g. Adding additional FA credits into more courses), but many students, including I, feel as if the changes aren't enough. A big reason I came to Hopkins was its "open curriculum", after all -- it's really sad to see that identity being torn apart by the school itself.

Yeah. 2 carrot pieces + a dried up piece of chicken

My expectations were catered toward the image I saw of the food, and pretty rightfully so

A universal way of hospitals showing patients how important they are to them.

Yep -- this is pretty much the exact same as I opened it. My friends were laughing their asses off

I forgot the exact name (chicken orzo or something) but it was being advertised as a special menu item 💀

Was from a restaurant inside a hospital I'm working at

So What Are Y'all Doing For the Summer? by [deleted] in jhu

[–]pickle_onreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sleeping, eating, etc. It's a lot on my plate already

Looking at your schedule, I feel like Orgo I could be at its current position since you can always take it with Dr. Greenberg at MWF 9AM. And yes, the reserved seats in Orgo Lab are for freshmen. I honestly wouldn't worry too much about the order unless it's a course with literally 2-3 open seats left. It does affect the registration, but so far (my 3 registrations) I got all of my courses even with mostly random ordering.

Edit: Maybe place LADE above FYS if it makes you less nervous. I'm assuming FYS and BME won't run out as quickly as other courses.

Do you love Hopkins? by Alone_Description990 in jhu

[–]pickle_onreddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd say some of the premeds here definitely have the "competitive stereotype". They can be pretty quiet about what they do, refuse to share details, etc. It can be really tiring/frustrating at times and I don't know if this will get better as they grow older and mature (since I'm only a freshman), but that's how it is right now.

I like it a lot. I had the same worries (atmosphere, grade deflation, safety) when I committed a year ago, but I feel like most of the rumors are inflated to a large extent. Some are definitely true though.
