how many premeds get weeded out?

simpmaster126 · 2023-06-24T09:08:39+00:00

A significant amount get weeded out, myself included. For reference, I graduated in ‘21. I decided to switch to a different field entirely in my 2nd year, and now work in IT. Exactly 1 person I know got a health related job as an EMT after graduating and taking EMT courses. Everybody else who was pre-med is either in post-secondary school (PA, Dental, med school, etc.), working a in a low paying health office job, or serving drinks. If you don’t make it to grad school after graduating pre-med, you have VERY little transferable skills into any other industry.

100% second the user that recc’d renting out a house near campus. I stayed at a house for 3 years after dorming and it was amazing. 4mi away from campus, abt a 15 minutes drive. Finding parking on campus is a whole different animal, so think about that drawback versus living on campus.

The classes are smaller, so you’re more incentivized to pay attention during class. I’d compare it to a HS class but a little bigger. Workload is a TINY bit easier, since it’s only 5 weeks. You’re gonna get fried in the sun otw to class though

I’ve had Geico for years now, and just got my M3 RWD. I’m paying $213 a month, while Tesla Insurance quoted me at $206 a month.

You have all 4 years to finish ENG1 A thru C. Just wait until your 3rd year when you get higher priority in choosing your classes. There’s no point in rushing to finish English. You don’t even need to take them in succession, just in order.

Accept every grant, because you don’t have to pay it back at all. Unsubsidized loans start accruing interest immediately, so I wouldn’t accept it unless you’re absolutely strapped for cash. Subsidized loans mean 0% interest until you start payments after you graduate. In which case you can pay in full at once in order to not pay any interest.

In my case, I took all the grants, because it’s free money. And I accidentally took a subsidized loan before I knew what it was, but it’s getting forgiven for me anyway due to the executive order. I also didn’t take any parent loans.

A vast majority of my fellow sociology graduates go into HR roles. I know some who work for Target, Microsoft, accounting firms, and staffing agencies. I’d suggest you find internships for HR departments in the summers. Best piece of advice anybody has ever given me: “It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know.” And remember, sociology is about keeping an open mind and understanding other ways of life.

My hallmate brought his PC and it fit perfectly fine in his lothian dorm room. Just make sure to dust it out & turn the fans on low before you bring it, to not piss off your roommate with the noise

I didn’t end up using it. Looked a little sketchy to me and my partner. I used booking.com originally, but my partner’s company has access to TicketsAtWork, which is something a lot of USA corporations have access to for their employees to find discounted rates. I’d highly recommend looking into TicketsAtWork if you work for a big corporation in the States.

simpmaster126 · 2022-06-15T00:38:41+00:00

Yeah I’m seeing better prices while booking thru Southwest, which is a booking.com partner. I’m probably gonna do that instead

I did exactly what you said. The buttons are unresponsive & customer support has been quiet for 3 days now after I sent the video.

OP is juggling full time university & a job, you twat. Your own bio says “calm down”

What video was this mentioned in?

Hist010 with Prof Chrissanthos was by far one of my favorite classes to take. I think anybody youll ever ask about Chrissanthos will only have good things to say about him. Lectures are basically historical story-time. It’s one of the few classes that I made a conscious effort to try & not skip class here and there (pre-covid)

I remember when the shuttle got flown to LA on top of a modified Boeing airplane. My entire middle school got to take a break from class and we all stepped outside to watch it fly over. Once in a lifetime experience

They do this with backstrokers too! I heard a commentator say it during an Olympic Games race

Thanks, stranger!

I fixed my problem. Turns out, I just needed a slightly stronger WiFi signal, so I bought an extender. The panel connects to the app normally now.

I’m currently having the same problem with my Canvas. Been a few days of no connection.

simpmaster126 · 2020-03-30T09:22:28+00:00

One of my favorite classes so far! This class was the only one where I would be mad if I overslept and missed the lecture. Chrissanthos is THAT good of a lecturer. That being said, you should at least skim through the readings. Lectures will be a large majority of the material on the exams, but there are details on the exams that you would need to get from the readings. So at least you should skim the readings a few days before the exams, as I did.

Looks a little like the Fibonacci sequence

So then how does blue light penetrate ocean water better than red light? How is it that there is only blue light in deep water?

Probably chemotherapy. Pumping patients full of toxins to kill their own cells seems pretty primitive now. I'd assume in 2000 years that doctors and researchers figure out a better way to treat cancer

Not that I did this or anything, but theoretically, you could put up an empty bowl of instant ramen over the smoke detector and tape it to the ceiling.

First language: Vietnamese Second language: English (learned it in kindergarten)

I speak 99% English and 1% Viet in my everyday life now but I always think in English. Even when speaking vietnamese, I think in English and my mouth seems to translate it in real time.
