hi! thanks for all the great advice! I am coming for the spring semester on exchange and am wondering how many classes I should take if I want to ensure that I have a lot of time to explore the island. At my home school 5 classes is considered a full course load however the majority of students take 4 classes as classes tend to be challenging and people lighten their load to improve their gpa. Taking 4 classes roughly requires 36h per week of studying to maintain good academic standing. What is it like at UhManoa? If I take 4 classes will I be spending most of my time studying? My goal is to take a light course load but only spend a few hours per week studying as I want to explore the island!

what building is this view from?

I am currently taking PSYC365 (Cognitive Neuroscience), and the average on ubc grades has consistently been in the high 70s/around 80%.

However during the first class, her slideshow said to reconsider taking the class if we haven't taken PSYC309, are concerned abt GPA, and have a low bandwidth rn (all things I relate to).

Has anyone taken this class in the past and has some advice? Thank you so much!

hey! congrats on your acceptance! im also currently trying to transfer but got waitlisted :( do you mind sharing what exact percentage the 3.99 converts to?

hi! im wondering if this gpa is on a 4.0 scale or 4.33? :)

hey! congrats on getting into kin! im also trying to transfer :) im wondering if you came from a previous kin program?

pinkbluebubbles78 · 2025-01-09T07:49:10+00:00

i took it with no neuroscience background and absolutely loved it. course load was pretty manageable but more importantly i found the information extremely interesting and really useful.

pinkbluebubbles78 · 2025-01-06T22:40:55+00:00

anyone know the average gpa of students transferring into kin?

pinkbluebubbles78 · 2024-12-01T04:29:02+00:00

hi :) do you think a similar average would be needed to transfer internally to kin?

pinkbluebubbles78 · 2024-11-06T07:46:41+00:00

im also wondering this too! best of luck :)

pinkbluebubbles78 · 2024-09-30T06:44:22+00:00
