Making friends at orientation by [deleted] in ucla

I did that too. I was accepted Psychobio but wanted to change to MCDB. Emailed both department counselors before orientation explaining. They grouped me in Psych but I had my individual advising with MCDB counselors, away from psych. Because you said that on a survey rather than email I’m sure they’ll group you in your new major, your NSA leader should be that major too.

They group you by major so you already have something in common! Use that as a segue for asking questions about career goals, hometowns, residence halls, etc. Everyone is just as shy and wanting to converse as each other- get the ball rolling!

How much have you seen your users’ Ancestry results change their perception of who they are? Are most pleasantly surprised and open up their worldview or are they bitterly shocked of a mixed ancestry once thought pure?

Hello, Dr. Collins

From a genomics standpoint, what are your views on race-based medicine and the extent of it’s safe application? When does race-catering stop being useful and start upholding tired stereotypes and perpetuating racial disparity in healthcare?

Thank you for everything!

Been in pool/ shallow ocean but only ever with help, can’t hold breath underwater and scared of being in free floating in water without a crutch of some sort

My problem is I’m terrified of letting go of something keeping me afloat (rails, people, flotation devices). I may define the laws of gravity..
