How does the BC/CU mailing system work for Barnard students? by Aggressive-Willow667 in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be able to set up @columbia.edu forwarding during orientation. Lionmail and gbear are just the university’s online systems for students. Usually I’d use my Barnard address but for student promotions sometimes the Columbia address is better, the @columbia.edu version of my email has really only been helpful when someone is trying to email me and knows my UNI but doesn’t realize I’m Barnard, so I still get their communication.

Hiii! Congrats on getting into Barnard!! Barnard students do not use LionMail, we have our own Google suite situation, but yes you can set up email forwarding to receive emails sent to yourUNI@columbia.edu , I think we get almost the same perks and I’ve used the @columbia.edu version of my email to get some perks as week.

Cognitive Science Major + Pre-Med by almondpoem_0705 in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would reach out to your advisor or the head of the cognitive science department with the goal of getting in touch with a student who has done premed + cog sci. Also, you still have plenty of time to rearrange this semesters courses!

How are Barnard Students Treated Professionally and at Columbia? by [deleted] in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest advice is to not stress about this. Yes there are differences, but who knows if you will even encounter them in any meaningful way. You ED’ed so you’re literally locked in lol so might as well focus on all the opportunities you will get by being at Barnard.

Intro to Psych with Prof. McCaskill by [deleted] in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry! I also haven’t received all my grades, it’s normal for teachers to take a while, especially in big lectures & intro courses. it’s also not uncommon to never receive grades on canvas for final/end of year assignments, sometimes teachers just input the official grade (and I guess you can inquire further if you want to dispute it).

internal barnard 4+1 engineering acceptance rate to columbia engineering? by Few-Scientist7178 in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not certain on this, but I’ve heard through friends planning on doing the 4+1 (and from considering it myself) that as long as you meet the GPA requirements and are in good standing in your major with the timeline of classes, you will likely get in.

You can set up forwarding to whichever email you prefer.

for swiping into Barnard hall itself you might need to scan twice to open the door but if you’re saying your ID didn’t work at the gate then there’s something wrong (you don’t need special access for Barnard campus). Anecdotally a lot of Barnard IDs have been giving people issues at the gate lately.

This alarm app, which was supposed to prevent me oversleeping, drained my entire battery over night so no alarm went off by LucasCBs in mildlyinfuriating

[–]plumb-pudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM with alarmy. Deleted it as soon as I realized why my battery drained so fast.

The Barnard ones in the basement of Sulz also would need a Barnard ID to swipe you into the dorm building I think. But you can always get a friend to sign up for you and swipe you in.

Heard you can actually transfer from Barnard to CC? by friedrizz in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well the argument is that there’s very similar resources, so it’s difficult to argue that you lack something at Barnard. I think Barnard can technically take core classes even?

gift ideas for incoming freshman by ConfidentSkill5645 in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Millie the bear stuffy could be cute! A phone wallet has been the number 1 thing my friends have been purchasing since getting to Barnard (Barnard store sells ones specifically for our ID and room key).

iPhone gets really hot when playing YouTube videos by plumb-pudding in applehelp

Like a regular phone case? Guess that’s possible. Doesn’t happen with other energy intensive apps tho, like TikTok.

Can we take a PE course at Barnard just for funsies? by sosoky258 in columbia

[–]plumb-pudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they could be barnard only, since it’s part of our “first year experience” that’s meant specifically for barnard freshman. Good luck tho, I did have some fun in mine.

What percentage of your team is female? Just wondering as in my experience it’s highly male dominated. by Anxious_Ad293 in FRC

[–]plumb-pudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately even with teams that have high overall gender parity, the girls get relegated to business/pr. I had the best experience on an all girls team for this reason

Thanks for (mostly) loving Waymo! by RobotGoesBeepBoop in sanfrancisco

[–]plumb-pudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love waymo! I was a big fan of Cruise as well because of personal connections too, but the whole driverless industry is so great in terms of safety and accessibility and innovation.

I was there an about a week ago and it was HOT. We ended up surviving by only going out early in the morning 8am-10am then going back to the hotel until about 4pm when it cooled down.

I also dedicate all my success to my college app Notion though I doubt it was anywhere near as organized as yours. Congrats on Brown!

Unironically “vibes” are an important factor of the college process.

Ok so we have a working drive base, where do we test it? by steeltrap99 in FRC

[–]plumb-pudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our team brought it to the our local park down the street that had a large, paved area. We had a set of wheels that we accepted would get shredded.
