@alz_zyd_ We should create a paradigm where biologists take analysis that they’re never going to use for character building/fake gay rigor signaling in order to be a competitive applicant just for the love of the game

@zagrebbi Because it indicated they locked in around the time they had to take the test

[asher @coalburnings]

@zagrebbi In all seriousness I think it might be because an MA or PhD aspirant doesn’t really have a standardized course load the way premeds do to an extent, nor is testing weighted that heavily to save their ass. Better later GPA should probably also correlate to better MCAT?

@varrock This is dumb because anyone can larp passion

@redaction They are kinda weak

@devahaz They call that the subject GRE

and 3. they're not a lock anyway, especially for engineering/CS/econ/biz, or even life sciences, etc

Having Californian CCs be so good was a massive mistake. Now people mindlessly say "I'll just go to CC and transfer to Berkeley" without realizing 1. They're gonna have to complete 67 hyperspecific requirements 2. just to enter for 2 years at the most inconvenient time possible

@DanielleFong @alz_zyd_ My dad randomly started teaching me summations and integrals one day when I was barely through algebra and geometry lol, fun bit. I absorbed none of it, just remembered there was a weird Z looking thing (sigma notation) for the next few years.

@IVMiles Eh, lot of bum schools are R1

[asher @coalburnings]

@NukeBushwick @YC7291 @number_pizza111 lol what about like UCSC, UCR, UCM? I guess the nice thing is you get 2nd priority at UC (15% UC to UCLA iirc) but eligibility for ts is annoying af

[asher @coalburnings]

@number_pizza111 I guess you could make an argument for CSU or CC and transfer, but there's also an argument of 4 years at an R1 for many people, and transfer finaid is cooked too. Also logistically annoying at UC.

[asher @coalburnings]

@number_pizza111 If you're Californian your own state schools are probably surprisingly overpriced though. And the ones that are worth it are hard to get into because they all hate the people paying their taxes.

[asher @coalburnings]

@number_pizza111 I think UR is worth it. Good med school pipelines. Nice open curriculum. Decent physics historically, tuffer for optics atm. They give decent merit aid.
