Are you in state for UT

Also for UT you will still have abundant research opportunities, have you applied to their Freshman Research Initiative yet? If not, chop chop

[gilded warren]

Nice, that’ll give you some access to research opportunities

[fringe raptor]

yeah i j dont know what to pick lol

[elder forum]

UT Austin

this is the best for you for price and experience

[fringe raptor]

experience?

[elder forum]

student experience

[fringe raptor]

oh is it better at ut than the other 2

[elder forum]

i think

due to the proximity to Silicon Valley #2, weather, people and networking

NEU is expensive, and Tulane isn't focused enough. Also both are expensive

[fringe raptor]

focused enough?

[fringe raptor]

makes sense

[fringe raptor]

well pre med silicon valley doesnt really matter

[elder forum]

yes

[elder forum]

well med opportunities in metro areas are good

I thought you were BME for some reason

[fringe raptor]

oh lmao

[elder forum]

the other 2 don't seem to offer much extra opportunity

[fringe raptor]

hmm yeah

ty!

[gilded warren]

Wait @fringe raptor for which major are you admitted for UT

You said NEU is NUin and Tulane is Public Health but what about UT 👀

[fringe raptor]

sociology

is it hard to change majors?

[gilded warren]

For the College of Natural Sciences, it's mostly doable, afaik over 60% of people get to change ---- assuming you'd like a common major for premed, such as bio, biochem, neurosci, public health, because computer science internal transfer is hell on earth

[fringe raptor]

i wanted soc before but that research thing and more opportunities seem to be with cns

can i change it before my freshman year

[gilded warren]

I think you need to complete 24 hours in resident before you can change your major

Of course, you can do premed with any major

Psychology is also within the college of liberal arts

Although, psych is restricted

[atomic abyss]

Oh got it

Thank too

You*

[fringe raptor]
