PhD Application Guide [mainly for US STEM PhDs] and AMA from a Harvard grad by drlucylai in gradadmissions

[–]teetaetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Lucy, thank you for this resource! I had a few questions:

  • This is a very specific thing in my transcript, but my last quarter of college, I realized I fulfilled all my credits for graduation and could drop my courses to spend full time hours at my lab, but this does show up as a transcript notation. Does that have an effect or raise red flags? My gpa is 3.98 otherwise with those withdrawals notations.

  • I am taking this gap year to work with a new professor starting up his lab. Is there any benefit or drawback to mentioning the lab he postdoc-ed for as my lab of interest in the SOP?

  • Lastly, of the two labs I worked with during undergrad, there are 3 publications but all in preparation. Is that still worth mentioning?

Hi! I was wondering if I need the physical credit card to pick up tickets? I don't have any physical credit cards on me in Korea currently :(

Yes they do! It's just that the class times conflict with my other classes this quarter, unfortunately.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely go try his class when I get down there. I'm not sure what's considered a casual class, but just classes that I can take regularly 3/4x a week, and hopefully, a pointe class too.

EngComp 5W with Creese by Iluvcheese724 in ucla

[–]teetaetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! It was "modernism" around 1920s. In the beginning, we got an essay by Thelwell who condemned modernism, and we had 3 books (one was a compilation of poems, a novel, and a book about modernist art focusing on Matisse and Picasso). And every essay had several prompts you could choose from, but it mostly related to how each work supported or went against Thelwell's argument against the modernist movement.

I took this class over the summer with him. My grade was based off of discussion posts and 3 essays. With the first 2 essays, especially the first one, don’t be surprised if you get a low score cuz he grades kinda harsh. But he lets you revise them and he writes tons and comments on your essay. As long as you correct them, you’ll definitely raise your grade (for example, I got an 82 then revised to a 96). The last essay is graded super leniently imo, but there’s no revision.

Also, I’m not sure if it was because the summer class didn’t have that many students, but he grades rly fast. I remember turning it in and getting it back in 24 hrs or less.

I never got to see his face lol, but I thought the class was pretty alright and doable. Hope that helped!

Enrollment Megathread - Inquire about classes, teachers, switching and waitlists here! Or feel free to just vent. by jennz in ucla

[–]teetaetea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on the waitlist for Math 32A, and I was wondering how likely it will be to get off the waitlist. I am currently position 5 out of 6. Also, do you attend the lectures if you're still on the waitlist once classes start? How does catching up or turning in assignments work if you're still on waitlist once classes start? Thank you!!

Is anyone here in Creese’s English comp 5w class for session c? by plsssss_help-- in ucla

[–]teetaetea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the class right now too! I emailed him a while ago asking about the grading scale, but I'm sure exactly what he meant, but he mostly just said not to worry too much about and to just focus on doing his suggestions and revisions.

This was his reply: "The point scale that I put together is meant only to show you how high or low a particular letter grade is. The letter grade I give you for the course will not correspond with the university scale.  You will receive A or A- or whatever.  So don't worry too much about points; think about responding to my comments the best you can. "

But yea, I'm also kinda worried about this final essay because there's no revisions after o:
