So I'm pretty bored tonight, taking a break from studying since I had an exam earlier today. Decided I may as well do something that could be useful to someone, so ask me anything.
Once a crammer, always a crammer. I use the notes of upperclassmen to study. Cram for two or three days before the exam, depending on the amount of material I need to cover. But then again, I'm not looking to specialize so I'm not overly concerned with getting A's. I get mostly B's and I'm quite alright with it.
Oh man. D1 here and I am having trouble fixing my cramming/procrasinating habits (I should be studying now). I hear second year is the worst (might just be at my school) so I am overly concerned about what will happen to me next year.
I am just like you - night owl, major crammer and procrastinator. I am also not looking to specialize, so at least I have that going for me. Haha.
Have you taken the Boards, part 1 yet? I'm worried my habits will become a problem when it comes to boards, which I am supposed to take this coming summer.
Scholarships are renewed if student maintains a 3.0 or higher. How do you feel about that?
I applied to a few other schools, but NYU was my top pick. We have one of the best clinics in the country, we have an abundance of patients, we are the only school in the country that certifies its graduates in Invisalign... plus, I'm from Brooklyn. I started out as a commuter, but moved two months into D1 because the commute was killing me.
Thanks for the info! Although, I am pretty sure multiple schools certify for invisalign. In fact, during my interview at VCU they were taking the course.
For those that were not awarded entrance scholarships, do you know if there are any that's offered based on how well you in nyucd? (like based on D1 grades or smth)
I love that gif. But I've run bootcamp on my mac before and it's not nearly as smooth when running intensive programs, so if I have to run a native windows program then I'd rather just buy a windows laptop.You can also run Windows on a Mac.
Just throwing out that it's an option.
You're divided for labs and for certain lectures. So for example, in D1 biochem half the class has it together, and then the other half has it at a different time, due to the lab schedule and due to the room they use for the course.
As for not attending lecture... I pretty much don't attend anything that doesn't take attendance. I'm doing just fine. Between podcasts and notes passed down from upperclassmen, there's really no need to attend most lectures.
