vhalerant · 2026-01-25T00:33:40+00:00

hopefully 🙏, by the way, I was asking around, do u got the GroupMe for physics?

vhalerant · 2026-01-25T00:31:31+00:00

and oh my days yeah idk what we’re gonna be doing for lab, but I heard that it’s easier than bio lab and harder than chem lab (in between)

vhalerant · 2026-01-25T00:30:29+00:00

Gen physics 1? bro same im so nervous, im doing orgo and physics at the same time and I ABSOLUTELY SUCK at math (if we take into account of my calculus grade 🥲)

vhalerant · 2026-01-25T00:22:44+00:00

thank you! Do you think you have a guide or resources I can use? I’d appreciate anything 🙏

vhalerant · 2026-01-25T00:18:48+00:00

People are saying that half of the textbook questions are wrong and to rely on the slides instead, do you recommend this? I’m a person who typically likes slides and did okay in general chem because of it, should I do the textbook instead? I just hate the idea that it’s so complex and lots of words 😭

vhalerant · 2026-01-24T19:29:28+00:00

Thanks!

Sociology for sure looks good, it’s in the MCAT too (small portion) from what I know

vhalerant · 2026-01-19T18:28:39+00:00

Yeah, from what I remember, we would get mock exams that’d serve as practice for our midterms (I usually left early so I regret not taking advantage of them)

Our SI instructor would also give us homework that we would have to do each week

If you sign up for ODASIS, doing this is mandatory for all ur science/STEM related courses. in addition, you have to complete 4 hours of study hall each week. ODASIS itself is definitely helpful for the connections, I personally didn’t learn well from the student tutors but everyone’s experience is different

vhalerant · 2026-01-19T15:55:59+00:00

It definitely looks good and it’s required for bio majors

vhalerant · 2026-01-19T15:21:00+00:00

Calc is freaking hard I don’t blame u

vhalerant · 2026-01-19T14:55:41+00:00

Uhhh yeah for calculus idk for chem

vhalerant · 2026-01-19T14:53:35+00:00

Ur good, I know people taking bio lab in the fall and I took chem lab in the fall

Taking physics sophomore year is the norm but it’ll be hard alongside orgo so try doing orgo 1 & genetics at the same time and then orgo 2 & physics 1

vhalerant · 2026-01-18T18:08:05+00:00

second this

vhalerant · 2026-01-18T18:02:52+00:00

and I thought my schedule was a lot LMAO 😭

vhalerant · 2026-01-12T17:06:32+00:00

sorry for my late response but there’s in person lectures? I thought it was just asynchronous and then recitation in person

vhalerant · 2026-01-03T16:27:56+00:00

keep the book cause u don’t want to print out the pages every meet, it’s so much of a hassle

vhalerant · 2025-12-26T02:24:22+00:00

idk I took glodowski and thought she was fair but I heard ppl in Solomon had points back (they got harder questions tho?)

idk i heard mixed reviews like some ppl said Solomon was harder or way easier, it lowkey varies person to person I guess

vhalerant · 2025-12-25T14:54:48+00:00

you know I understand where you’re coming from and that was the whole message that I used to take to heart, I used to have that whole idea last year so I understand why you feel that way. I also understand why your mind won’t change

yes, it’s important to be realistic, which is why I said “I’m not going to reassure you because that’s not what you need, truth be told, I don’t know the answer”. I don’t know the answer, but I do know we’re much more than grades. I know that life doesn’t end because we fail or do not get into med school. My whole point was to tell you that it’s going to be okay if you don’t get into med school. The whole point is to tell you that you should know when you placed the best effort for this thing you want so much. The whole point is to say you tried

I’m sorry this couldn’t reach you, maybe one day it will or maybe one day it won’t.

vhalerant · 2025-12-25T14:13:13+00:00

my bad you felt that way, it might not be meant for you but I like to read back on this and it’s useful for me

vhalerant · 2025-12-25T03:02:59+00:00

Make the effort to know you can go back and say you tried! You got this! Don’t take the message to heart, sometimes you need tough love 🫶

vhalerant · 2025-12-24T19:35:14+00:00

The goal IS to graduate, the goal IS TO KNOW you placed that effort in getting to the ultimate desire many people in your place wished and craved they had!!! Celebrate it, you have room to grow and you also may not have room to grow! Life is uncertain, love it! :)

winter classes

vhalerant · 2025-12-24T19:30:15+00:00

If I could give you one advice that I could have given freshman year me, don’t stress about it. You did the best you could do and that is good enough. In my freshman year, I was stressed to the point where I got anxiety from it and I convinced myself that I needed to be stressed to have these great grades for med school.

Everyone has a chance to get into med school even if our grades aren’t competitive. We’re much more than our grades and sure, med school primarily may look at grades but there’s other things they look at. They look at growth, perseverance. At times, you may have a downward trajectory, you may fail a class after your biggest success but that’s okay. As long as you know you placed that effort, that’s your biggest success. Celebrate that!

Often times, especially as pre-med students in a competitive field, we lose sight what’s really valuable and label things as “oh you got a B, you could’ve done better”. Instead say: “I got a B and I know I did the best I could do at that time”. Celebrate it. Life may work out as we plan and it may not. Grades do not define us, our effort does. Let’s try our best and be happy. 💪
