99.5% on first chem test 😀
Yay! Congrats!
99.5% on first chem test 😀
You guys seriously. Stop killing yourself. this is your FIRST YEAR. You're not suppose to be overwhelmed, if you are you're doing it miserably wrong! You're going to burn out..TRUST ME. I've seen so many smart students thinking they can do it all and they end up crashing and killing--i mean MURDERING ---their GPA...all for what? Them being cocky. It goes the same way with having an 'easy' schedule...you become cocky and stop trying hard. Don't do this you guys! I've literally ended up spending thousands of dollars in the hospital, and now i get to be stuck with a chronic illness for LIFE because I couldn't/wouldn't accept that I'm not a super-women human being and that I could do everything. I'm not saying you could end up in the hospital, but learn this VERY quick. There is so much a person can do, and just because someone else can..well f*ck that. We're not all the same people. Some can handle more and some can handle less. Just do the best you can do and please for god's sakes I don't want to see any of you brilliant people burnt out. It's not worth screwing up these four years.
I'm pretty sure the upperclassmen are laughing at this thread right now.
But the pleasant irony here is that they were probably the same way.
damn.. missed a lot. how are everyones classes going so far?
6 days and no replies? We're slacking!
A in Psychology (94), B+ in Chemistry (89...ugh). I get Bio back Thursday. Not bad for having them all on the same day if I say so myself.
A in spanish, but I got a low B on my chem exam...;_;
Also not doing very well at all in Calc. Probably because it's a night class and I am having a lot of trouble staying awake. 🙁
Yeah, not going too wonderfully for me...and I can't really drink coffee/tea/red bull to stay awake, because I've found caffeine really doesn't have much of an effect on me.
Dislike. I enjoy my night classes more cause they give me the opportunity to nap during the afternoon
80% on my first psych test 🙁, didn't study and I joined the class 2 days before the test started.
😡 so jelly right now.Man looking at these bad psych stories makes me glad my ultimate blow-off class was psych. Seriously, we had two really easy-graded papers the whole semester and the rest of the time we watched pretty fun videos in class.
I know i shouldn't be ashamed but i feel like i could have done much better.Lord, if I joined a class 2 days before a test and got an 80 I would be proud. Honestly, for my chem test, I'm pleased that I scored in the 50th percentile even though I didn't take AP chem like about 90% of the class already has.
How do you guys spend your weekends? I always feel like I'm going too far by studying more than 2 hours a day on the weekend. I try to go out Fridays because you only have one undergraduate experience and it helps me de-stresses from the week. I figured busting it M-F and then letting loose a little wasn't a bad thing. I'm also contemplating joining a fraternity, but I'm not sure. What do you guys do to have fun/de-stress? We always focus on the academic/EC side of things.

I bombed the crap out of my Chem exam...Well, at least it lets me know what to expect. I'm going to start doing those practice problems.

PS - what schools are you guys interested in?
WVU (since I'm in a BS/MD program with the school).
Though I entered the program with the mindset of not having that safety net to begin with, so that I can get the best GPA I can get and the best MCAT score I can get. Simply put, I may choose to apply out if my stats are good enough, in which case SUNY Downstate or SUNY Stony Brook would be my top 2 choices. If my stats are...say...3.6 and barely a 28 or higher on the MCAT, I'll stick with WVU. 😀
Anywhere in TX.PS - what schools are you guys interested in?
Anywhere in TX.
any particular reason? not to prod.. just curious! 🙂
PS - what schools are you guys interested in?
🙂 I live in TX. Hah, not just that, but they're friendly with In-state applicants, very cheap tuition, location (obviously), etc.
Hopefully everything works out for all of us lol, also can someone please tell me how I'm suppose to activate quick reply 😕 I can't find the "quick reply icon" anywhere lol
PS - what schools are you guys interested in?
This far away I have no idea. I do however have some conditions:
1. Md/PhD program
2. Warm weather for more than three months
3. I get accepted there
👍
I hope there's some correlation between MCAT and SAT scores since I scored 2220 on the SAT, I think that's going to be the hardest part of the whole process

But a lot of poor HS students, some even dropouts, are able to score really well on the MCAT and get into Medical School, so.....
Also, where is everyone?
private school next to my house (i commute)I have my first midterm/tests for all my classes in October, btw nuerosis what college are you going to?
Tempting.Maybe I should drop out of college to score well on my MCAT?
Join us on FB!
Also, where is everyone?
How do I join you guys on FB? What's the name of the group?
from what i hear the MCAT basically just covers all of your pre-req's. i'd probably just try and kick a** at your chem, org chem, calc, physics, bio... study hard, get the A's, and don't let the material slip your mind when you're done with it, know what i mean? but hey.. an early start could never hurt either!dude, i'm sorry. the smiley has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation, but i just found it, and it's awesome. hahaha (hey, i'm new alright?)
