They are already up on Degreeworks. Just go to Student Access and to degreeworks, they are not on the rest of student access yet though.
 
looks like im finishing the race last... just took the last three finals today....must...get... some...😴
 
I'll just say my gpa increased by 0.06. So it wasn't the best ordeal but it could have been a lot worse so I'm happy 🙂 On to next quarter!!
 
Alright class of 2017, I think I need some advice regarding rec letters. Here is my situation:

- I have one science professor letter wrapped up (orgo II, didn't talk to my professor a whole lot or anything but had the highest grade ever on his final)
- Will get another another science prof. one either from my bacteriology professor this semester or one of my other MMI professors next semester
- Also have one coming from my PI that will be very strong

Oh another note, my school doesn't have a pre-med committee or anything so I need individual letters. Anyway, all I'll have left then is a non-science professor. My question is, how would it look to get a letter from my weightlifting instructor next semester?

Pros:
If it's the guy I'm thinking of, I've talked to him before and he's really nice
It would should more of the athletic side of me and my personality
I will talk to him for more than any professor I've had so far in college

Cons:
It's weightlifting, not really a real class

So, what do ya'll think?

tl;dr --> Is a letter from a weightlifting professor appropriate for a non-science rec letter?

You don't know any non-science professors to ask? I'd get one from both just to be safe.

Hmm.. idk. It's not a terrible idea but do you another professor that can write you a strong letter?

Unfortunately no. Every non-science lecture I've had is 200+ people and I'm not really the type to go into office hours and pretend like I have questions when I don't (I'm pretty strong in non-science subjects).

I'm also taking an English class next semester, but it will be ~250 people in the lecture and TAs will really be the only people that we interact with.

I have the same problem, but for sciences. My science classes have been from 300-1000 students...I think it would be in your best interests to go to your english professors office hrs every week next semester and get to know them. I've been doing that with profs this semester even if I have nothing to talk about just so they know me by face. That's the only option I could think of =/

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
 
so what is everyone doing for the break? I have hardly been on this site because of the workload from this past semester so I'm catching up on threads and sleeping. I must say i'm loving that "ask an EM resident" thread!

I started watching Breaking Bad. Excellent series, I highly recommend it. I'm also going to go to Chile and Bolivia over the break.

Yes, the EM resident thread is great!
 
You guys are lucky. I still only have one of my grades. And I still need to take another final on Wednesday.

Also, my best friend at school is going abroad next semester. And it's his birthday next week. I feel like getting him something, but I'm a bad gift-giver. And I hate those goodbyes where you're "parting ways" for an extended period. #Awkward social things you wish you could skip. 🙁
 
I just checked my grades and I have 2 A's and one B+. I think my last remaining grade is going to be a B so I'm a bit upset about that.

Studying for MCAT, working, and shadowing. My first relaxed days were over the weekend because I got sick -__-" I need a break from this break.

I'll be your best friend! 😀 If I were you I'd get him something he like 👍 And I still don't have any of my grades, but I have a feeling I'm going to get the lower grade in one class because of .5% 🙁

You're already my other best friends. 😛 Hope your grade ends up working out, maybe they'll bump it up or something.

:idea: I was thinking about doing some more shadowing over break, too! I've always wanted to shadow GI for a more extended period, and I've kind of wanted to shadow rheum too. Maybe I'll give them a buzz later and ask about after the holidays.

Turns out the whole class got curved 😱😱 The average for the class was a B+! That's insane!!!! All my classes in the past have had averages of like C+/B- 😱 The same prof taught phy1 and the average was like a C+! I'm just so happy it worked out so wondefully! I ended up doing pretty good on my final 🙂 Now the waiting for the rest of my classes :scared::scared:

You should definitely talk to them and get some awesome experience over break! And I 😍 you!

OB/GYN. Not the most fun thing on Earth. Planning on talking to a Pulmonologist and Pediatrician too.
 
How did everyone's finals go? Needed a 96 in physiology and got a 92, ended up with an 89.1625 average in the class...crapppppp! Also got a B in biomechanics, final exam grades weren't posted so I emailed the professor and asked what's up....dropped down from a 3.71 to a 3.68 🙁
 
Wooooooo! Done with my last final, finally. I still have only gotten one grade back; I got an A in endocrinology, which is cool, I guess. 😎

Now I dunno what to do with myself since I don't have a stupid amount of homework. Guess I'll go play some Mass Effect lol.
