If ur school doesnโt show up on the list, does that mean no one for ur school got in or they just didnโt collect data for ur school?

If ur school doesnโt show up on the list, does that mean no one for ur school go...
are you in state
sour forge
Yeah
surreal fulcrum
they should collect on all HS' but your sample size might be too low

I saw for some other years that my school showed up, especially when I chose campuses like irvine or sd
But for berkeley or la, nothing showed up
quiet night
how many applications were submitted?
130k apparently
sour forge
Yeah, graduation class is regularly less than 40 students
surreal fulcrum
130k apparently
from.... his hs??????
surreal fulcrum
Yeah, graduation class is regularly less than 40 students

vivid vortex
Iโm tryna go to med school so idk if 500k of debt is a good idea LOL
vivid vortex
Full pay gang ong
was it worth it in your opinion
obsidian heron
Probably
I wouldnโt have it any other way, to me itโs just ROI because I know with the opportunity I have on campus and the fact that most of my cousins work in Silicon Valley and have startups there I can pretty much repay those fees within 5-10 years
Or less actually
obsidian heron
If you were doing a four year course instead of med school would you go to UCLA?
obsidian heron
how expensive is cal
Like the same as UCLA
vivid vortex
If you were doing a four year course instead of med school would you go to UCLA?
I think it would depend lol like if my degree would be able to repay all of that
my ug is in physics
so cal would be better for that but idt theyโre letting me in LOL
obsidian heron
Do you have an option to choose your degree? Or are you committed to med
vivid vortex
Do you have an option to choose your degree? Or are you committed to med
you can do any degree for undegrad if youโre going to med school
Econ, physics, classics, bio, music, etc
as long as you take all the pre req classes
eager violet
Iโm doing philosophy for med
obsidian heron
I think you definitely would be able to repay back if your UG is physics
eager violet
I think itโll be interesting
vivid vortex
Iโm doing philosophy for med
omg fun I applied as physics + philosophy to one school I canโt remember where
philosophy was my second choice major for ucb
obsidian heron
Companies literally hire stem degree students directly from top schools
eager violet
The surgeon I shadowed for also approved. He said humanities major prepares you with strong critical thinking and empathy
Empathy is not something I really need a class for but like understanding others I guess is a better way to put it
I get clowned though every single time I mention my major but itโs all g ๐ญ
vivid vortex

I just can't stay in Ohio for another 4 years
