uni

I go to UCLA, and I'm currently doing math major, trying to do the honors program there. I like it a lot, although my Analysis prof is pretty terrible, my Linear Algebra prof is a beast. I'm doing Complex Analysis Honors, Second Quarter Honors Real Analysis, and Second Quarter Linear. I'm enrolled in Differential Geometry but I heard the prof is a fuckwit, and the class is at 9am, so I'm probably gonna drop that one.

I've got a dilemna. I was planning to do the PhB program at ANU. It's a research degree and you basically get to work with people in Academia from the start.
However, I got a good enough score to get a full scholarship to Melbourne Uni. Melbourne is less appealing in that you're forced to do "breadth" courses similar to the American system. Can anyone at either of those two universities comment on what they're like?
I'm planning to do maths if that changes anything.

I go to Cornell for EE. So far everything is alright. I had a shitty chem class that I finally finished. Now I'm studying for my calc 3 final. I expect it to go fine after it's all said and done. I used to be in a shitty OO Java class but I dropped it because I didn't like the structure of that class at all.

>>8532395
What school? Why do you hate it?

I am doing a very specific uni about wine and grapes, I am first and second year courses at the same time so I can get my degree in two years and half.

What I am doing so far (entry level biology, basic oenology, microbiology, some statistics, agro meteorology) is kinda boring but compared to my first degree (master's in chemistry) there is nothing I hate reading about. I don't really like the people though, don't get me wrong I had no problems and everyone is nice, there is no specific reason but I don't like them.

>>8532398
Just an unremarkable tech school. It's way up north so it's very cold up here, it's 70% men here, and it's situated in a small village. Nothing to do other than get drunk off your ass every night or go bowling. Also this place is the epitome of the dunning–kruger effect, everyone thinks they're smart because they're going to a b-list tech school. I went here because it was my cheapest option, and the academics are fine, but I really wish I went to a bigger school.

I got into UCLA for undergrad, and while it was technically the "best" school I got in to, I chose to go elsewhere. YMMV.

>>8532256
This will sound ridiculous and meme tier to anyone who is reading it.

But I do two degrees at once through two different universities. One is a full time in Computer Science and Math, with minors in Latin and Greek. The other is Military Science and History at another University, doing a few papers by distance.

It seems a little weird, and it is a long story. But I seriously enjoy it and want to conjoint them together one day.

The town is LA, so it's very polluted, but when you're on campus there's plenty of trees so the air feels relatively fresh.

The only thing I know about the medical program here is that it's hard as fuck, and the students are very competitive.

Any grad students here?

I'm in my first semester of a theoretical physics phd. Browsing grad school forums, it looks like most grad students do insane amounts of work, and that has me worried. So far my degree takes about 10 hours a week on average -- 3 hours each to read the book and do the homework for my 3 classes (I don't bother attending lecture, just exams), and 1 hour to do my TA duties (grading homeworks). I have office hours, but nobody shows up and I just work on homework then.

Seems like a really easy 30k/yr. I've even started tutoring 5 hours a week and my yearly income now comes out to 40k for 15hr/wk. Does it actually get worse? It seems like most people who complain online are in humanities or they do experimental work. Can't seem to find opinions of theoretical physics people (every other student at this school hates theory and loves experimental, so I can't get an answer here)

Had my last final friday night. I'm at UCSD. Chemistry major at the moment, but I want to switch to Mathematics/Applied Science.

I took Orgo I with the campus harder professor (my friend who finished ochem said that his Orgo I class is harder than the honors Orgo II and III class, and with test averages hovering around 35%, I believe it.) I finished with a 51% in his class, with the standard deviation above being 60%. He says he curves up, so I'm hoping I get like a B or B+. FUCK that class was hard.

Also took Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus. Multivariable I did well in with perfect scores both midterms and an 88% on the final.

Linear... was really hard. I got a 90 on the first midterm, a 62% on both the second midterm and the final. It was ENTIRELY a proof based course. The first midterm was just a fucking trick. We did no calculations beyond that midterm.

Worried about my grade in that class. I'm kind of a brainlet.

I was the one who originally suggested being ChemE, though I agree with the other guy.

Being competitive in ChemE is about the same as being in Chem. The ChemE course load is tougher, but passing your classes is your goal. If you go Chem major, you're competing with premeds and other try hards.

Getting your 3.0 in ChemE will be just as easy as getting your 4.0 in Chem.

Your job offers will be exponentially cooler. Research in ChemE is what will be winning nobel prizes and field honors in the upcoming decades. Pure science is being replaced by applied sciences.

Source: Was biology, switched to BioE, opportunities expanded exponentially.

>Research in ChemE is what will be winning nobel prizes and field honors in the upcoming decades

Interesting. I will have to look into that, I've been disregarding engineering for a while, but it seems like it would be well worth my time looking into it a little more.

By the way, what would a bioengineer even do? Isn't that just like a chemical engineer that focuses on organic molecules or something? What inspired you to switch majors?

>>8535162
I am not him but bioengineering is probably having mostly to do with medicine unless of course you do research.

And you should ask around at college in order to find out more, but take everything everyone says with a grain of salt (especially here).

Engineers can always do research related to their field and very often do. ChemEs can do Chem research, BioE can do Biology research, and so on.

>>8535162
I'm interested in pharmaceuticals, and my school has a biopharmaceutical track that's linked to the chemical engineering department.

I made the switch because I was taking biology classes, then went to go see a lecture on bioengineering. Changed my life.

The lecturer talked about straight science fiction stuff. Growing mushrooms on sawdust, what the Weiss Institute at Harvard is up to. It's incredible the difference in what you will be researching in applied sciences rather than pure sciences.

Bioengineering isn't particularly well defined yet. I guess I can give an example as the what a ChemE / BIOE hyrbrid would look like.

A doctorate friend of mine is looking into designing drug delivery systems. Currently you take ~100-1000x the amount of drug needed to be effective. If you take a tablet antihistamine to counter swelling, you're taking enough so across diffusion of the whole body, the correct dosage reaches the target site. What if we could design a drug delivery system that goes straight to the target? It would save costs and whenever processes become more efficient, other research can be done to make it more effective.

>>8535168
>(especially here)

People here often give me better advice than my counselors. It's pretty easy to tell when someone here is BSing, it can be quickly looked up and I have less respect for a wall of text than for a human being. Counselors and professors seem to be full of garbage at least half the time.

I'm agree with everything you said though for the record.

>>8535162
Sorry, Wyss institute.

Here's a link to what I think will be the defining medical invention of the early 21st century.

https://wyss.harvard.edu/technology/human-organs-on-chips/

>No more animal testing
>Genetic specific testing
>No need for pre phase III clinical trial

If it goes well, this will literally remove 95% of the cost of R+D into drug development, and if you're into animal rights, will completely remove the need for cruel testing.

>>8535186
That's incredible, I agree, it's like a job that a science fiction character has. I'm not sure if that's what I want to do, but when I say "not sure," I actually mean that I'm not sure. Very well might be something I'm into. Thanks for your story though.

>>8535204
If you're set on chemistry you're actually going to be probably safe until maybe your 2nd semester Sophomore year or early Junior year to switch back and forth.

Both Chem and ChemE students will end up taking two levels of general chemistry, two levels of organic chemistry. Two levels of physics, two levels of Calculus (Engineers take 3-4). Among other distribution requirements changing from school to school.

I would recommend getting the ball rolling as soon as possible if you want to do ChemE, because anyone can learn how to do it, but the concepts and study habits take some getting used to.

Try to get into a research lab for both, or at least look into what the relevant research labs are focused on. Make your decision based on that.

2.There are lots of Indians there.(Indians are smelly and are just scum in every sense of the word.)
3. Melbourne is ranked first in Australia.
4. Sanctuary Saturdays is in Hawthorn, a suburb in Melbourne. This is where a lot of intellectuals go to mingle. (Do not under estimated how important it is to know other people in the academic community. It is a small world and this is how great ideas are formed. through mingling.)
5. Melbourne is the most cultured city in the southern hemisphere.

yes live in nova

i didn't put much effort into the application process when i was a little shit in high school so just applied to mostly state schools and some ivys for reach. it was basically either UVA or W&M and now i'm a little shit in college.

accepted: UVA, VT, JMU, W&M, Wake Forest
rejected/deferred: UNC Chapel Hill, Yale, Columbia, some others out of states

currently 3rd year. go for UVA if you're applying now. or W&M if you think you can survive 4 years there.

>>8538115
why'd you go for UVA and not W&M just curious

im not from virginia... I'm from canada and done undergrad. but many people i know in the usa recommended uva because its 'near ivy' quality and because virginia is nice.

no UC Berkeley here?
Math undergrad, the upper div honors courses are fucking me in the ass.

>>8538118
the whole "public ivy" list is a bunch of nice schools that are generally well regarded for quality education and engaging student life. it's not really yale but pretty sweet deal for the price of a public school. general consensus is that UVA and W&M offer the same value in education.
UVA campus is pretty nice, the whole UNESCO world heritage site. W&M is more isolated (boring imho, not to mention the suicide rates) and attracts a different crowd. party school vs. the other school. can't complain too much about virginia. the people can get pretty stale i guess.

>>8537980
I'm starting there in the fall. I have mixed feelings about it but ultimately I just want a job at graduation. I guess if it's as shitty as everyone says I'll just transfer to Mizzou. Never really was a "party" type but also don't exactly fit into the autist category which seems to make up the majority of the school.

>>8538083

>>8538115
>rejected/deferred: UNC Chapel Hill, Yale, Columbia, some others out of states

For some reason it makes me happy to see other suffer rejection from the top schools like myself. Rejected by the good CA schools currently attending a reject University of California campus - the mediocre UC Irvine - but it is basically free so no complaints.

>>8538100
Keep in mind after the top private school you have the big four publics that offer similar quality and great prices for local students. These would be UCBerkeley/UMICH/UTAustin/UVA, then on the next tier you would have schools like UCLA/Wisconsin/Florida/PennSt etc.

Where it becomes tricky is a CAL degree vs a degree from reject Ivy like Cornell. In California a CAL/UCLA degree would be better than a Dartmouth or Brown degree, and you will find similar circumstances in the Chicago area with a Michigan degree vs a Duke degree.

Elite grad schools are filled with people from all kinds of schools. A free ride to a mediocre undergrad is very tempting to many people, and this is how these schools get their prime students. Your grad school test scores is your chance to show you are the equal of the private school grad. Also, getting into grad school for most majors is not that hard because each masters in 100k for the school, so the system needs a constant flow of students to keep the lights on. Professional schools are the hardest, but even there you will find the Shit State grad going up against the Duke grad on equal footing.

You need to take honors course, research, patented, things like that to stand out come grad school time.

The smartest guy I know went to USC - full 100% scholarship - not one dollar out of his pocket for anything. He is currently at a top five law school, and his main competition is a guy who went to Cal State Northridge (a good regional school).

These people all attended the worst UC school in the system Riverside, and went on to great grad schools, so it can be done.

It just seems so damn tedious to go through hundreds of schools grad school pages to find all their research areas. I really just want a good school that is easy to get into bottom line.

Depressing and boring place to live (living on campus without a car), but excellent academics. Make sure you have a car.

I am currently in the chem PhD program at the city college of new york/graduate center

Fucked up a lot in undergrad (only a little research, 3.02 gpa, although "final half of undergrad" gpa was about 3.3) so I didn't apply to high tier places.

I"m surprised at how many quality papers come out of our department, and we have lots of faculty who PhD'd or postdoc'd at ivy schools. Everybody wants to live in NYC now, so we can attract faculty who are a bit "too good" for us.

>>8541260

I was really looking into city college actually, but the issue with it I ran into was that they say explicitly on their website that they don't fund their masters programs (at least that was how I read it) I wouldn't want to live in NYC if I weren't getting paid, the loan amounts I would have to take out would be astronomical.

I have nothing to really compare it to, but it's alright. Sometimes it's a bit impersonal, and in my class you had a lot of people who knew jack shit before they dropped out because engi was too hard (No idea how they got in, in the first place). Quite theoretical at times, but if you can overlook the shitty classmates and stick with the ones who want to succeed and can motivate yourself to work on problems on your own since the unity isn't great due to the large class sizes, then you should be good.
The lecturers are great, after dealing with the initial onslaught of brainlets, if you show that you are willing and bring your own lube, they'll show you a good time.

Dude, you're attending cambridge physics. You're pretty much better than 95% of all the undergrads in the world.

>>8541692
Part III maths here, used to do physics.

When I started at cambridge I didn't do anywhere near enough work. I got a 2.ii in my first year. Then a 2.i in second and a 1st in third year and now 4th year is going pretty well.

At school I'm sure you didn't do any real work and coasted through like me. It takes time to develop good habits don't worry. Just remember you have to work over the Christmas break and summer and you'll get a first. Keep up the good work

>>8541777
My progression has been sort of the opposite of yours. I got a 1st (barely) in my first year, a 2.1 (despite trying my god damn hardest) in my second year and I just flat out do not see myself getting a first this year. I don't think I'll do particularly badly, I think I can get a 2.1 which is fine but not very exciting.

I just feel like over the past two years there's a gap that has grown between the better students and me. I can barely keep my head above the water and bridging that gap seems nigh impossible. The material is harder and more plentiful than ever.

I've been sort of sick for over a month and that hasn't helped. I have done very little work over the holiday so far and though it's not irredeemable I'm kind of shitting my pants.

Since I was originally in the masters but changed to the PhD, I had considered just staying in the PhD until you get the master's that comes with the PhD (you get it about halfway through the PhD) and then when I get that masters, leaving and getting a real job in industry or something. I may or may not do that, depending on how my research goes. I probably won't do it unless something goes really wrong. Regardless I'd be funded in the meantime.

You could consider that. But I'm sure it's much harder to get into the PhD program than the masters program, and that if this is your plan, you should keep it to yourself...

Who /UTAustin/ here?

>keep it to myself
Is it pretty cut-throat?

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it, I went to NY and checked out the place, and I have friends that go there, but the price really was just bumping it off my short list. Given what you said I think I'll def apply actually.

>>8538773
Listing Berkeley and U Much with UVA for math, seriously? And UT Austin and UVA above UCLA for math?
Do you know anything?

>>8542307

Well, I don't know firsthand, but I have the suspicion that if you OBVIOUSLY plan to quit halfway through your PhD, you may get fired, and you probably wouldn't be accepted in the first place. I haven't actually asked anybody about this though, it's just my gut feeling

BU for math. Fucking sucks here. Sucks being in class and LITERALLY being able to see MIT.

>>8542347
Math is the same all over, don't let it get to you, you can still network with any of them, you all go to the same bars.

I went to ANU in their science program - I hated it. You might be different, but I had real problems:

The living situation - in the colleges it's much too crazy an atmosphere for me, I made a few friends, but we didn't really gel with the rest of the population. It's kind of "join us, or leave".

The course itself - don't be fooled by prestige. all of the major universities essentially offer the same learning opportunities in your undergraduate years. ANU, USYD, UNSW, Melbourne. It's all the same. just because ANU is ranked highly on some list doesn't mean that you will NECESSARILY get a better education there. I found the physics faculty there to be really knowledgeable and helpful if you reached out, but they didn't really care if you did well or not.

Location - Canberra is shithouse. It's too far from Sydney (where I grew up) to visit for the day, but not far enough to really break free of your high school life. They say it's close to the snow, but its still a 3 hour drive really, it's fucking cold in winter. ANU itself is well located within the city (close to civic, shops ect.).

Social - I found it very easy to Isolate myself. Like I said I made a few friends, but the majority of the time I was walking to class alone, 4 or 5 nights a week I would just be alone in my room, only going out to do stuff on Thursday - Sunday. I later found out that this was a common problem, and that ANU had just decided that it was not worth doing anything about it. Haveing said all that. Join a club or something, they are nice.

Depending on where you live, I would pick Melbourne.

JHU COMPUTER ENGINEERING

Ball State Uni here

5 Straight A's but I'm not even trying. Feels bad man. I just hope I can get into an ok grad school with my high gpa/gre after this.

I feel validated because everyone around me is failing, but instead I just feel like, these are my peers. This is the school I was good enough to get into.... Thus their level of intelligence is equivalent to mine.

How do I get these thoughts out of my head?
How do I just shut up and enjoy my low-tier uni, and accept it for what it is?

How did you know?

>>8544150
Even the women are autistic at Imperial.

>>8544150
/sci/ memes i suppose.
and anecdotal evidence from mates.

also this:
"Imperial's male–female ratio for undergraduate students is uneven at approximately 64:36 overall[104] and 5:1 or higher in some engineering courses. However, medicine has an approximate 1:1 ratio with biology degrees tending to be higher.[105]"

idk im not being entirely serious

I gave up ChemE at Imperial to go into UIUC. Am I fucking retarded?

>>8544150
baseless assertions, but i think specialised subjects tend to bring out the worst aspects of the undergraduates in that subject. eg maths students at a uni with a mathematical science focus will probably turn out more autistic than maths students at a general uni. artsy students at a artsy focus uni will be more hipstercunt than artsy students somewhere else.

i know maths/phys/comp students at my uni and i know maths/phys/comp students at imperial and theirs a noticeable difference.

In general faggot the word 'math' is never mentioned in that thread; name value is the main point of that post, and in that respect that post is correct.

To any student who thinks of joining a weaker university because he thinks he can study on his own, don't do this.

>>8544354
why not

>>8541376
Econometrics is an easier version of probability and statistics, so you should take the math/statistics versions of those courses. Forget Math 4581 - 3607 is the most useful one you can take. This or similar is fundamental for applied math - MATH 5603.

Absolutely not worth it. I literally have drunktards and mongloids for professors. Some literally don't study for their lectures, others don't know THE MOST basic shit, you'd be surprised if they got a job in highschool, yet alone uni, and I'm not exaggerating, please believe me. Another standard is to have students 'practice' by having them hold the lectures themselves. Imagine how that sounds coupled with the fact that you went to a shit uni, which primarily attracts people who want a free degree. Studying alone in a shit uni means that you have no one to talk to about the stuff that you're researching, and that professors won't be able to help you, which is a huge disadvantage. Sometimes I'd rather get a straight answer than have to read like 3 books to have a vague idea of one.

Brigham Young University
Geology

I quit partway through though and started at Utah Valley University. It's not a very prestigious thing to do but despite the fact that I'm Mormon I just couldn't take the overbearing right wing bullshit I got at BYU.

What pushed me over the edge was a professor who tried to debate me about climate change. She actually tried to tell me that CO2 comes from volcanism and wetland emissions and there's not any evidence humans are causing climate change. A GODDAMNED ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR. This is what BYU qualifies as a good Earth Science education.

I still attended BYU working on an English Lit degree while doubling at UVU for Geology. It's taking more time to graduate but I realized none of my fellow Earth Science students know shit about writing and if you want people to pay attention to you in any science you need to know how to write.

Finished BYU last Spring. Will finish UVU this summer. My mother's dream was to go to BYU so my parents paid for it. I'm paying my own way through UVU.

You missed >>8535698 and the variety of AUS students in here. Shit there's even a Mexican.

I go to one of UW's satellite schools. I'm in the comp e program.
It's chill, I know all of my professors really well, and shoot the shit with them and am able to ask any kind of question.
But at the end of the day, I know I don't go to a real uni and my life is one big fat joke.

Pretty dank.

Originally tried my hand at full blooded STEM and the level of pure rote memorization annoyed me and it felt soulless. I still like it on a semi in-depth level though.

Funny enough people I've met from the anthro program and other programs like it are a lot happier and less angry at the world than STEM majors who all just seemed needlessly angry and felt like they had to prove something to somebody.

>>8546033

The word bachelors on a resume instead of Associates. gives you a very expensive leg up.

>>8546298
But the whole point of going to CC isn't an associates, it's transferring to a better school than you normally would have gone to once you're done and getting a bachelor's. Depending on the person, of course.

>>8546505
It's a state school. nuff said

>>8546505
From what I was told, it's terribly traditional and has an almost bestial devotion to football. Academically, it's what one would expect from a large state school in an okay-ish state like Ohio. That is, not too great at anything, but doing well enough to serve the general populace.

>>8546513
Ohio State is not a university that happens to have a football team. Ohio State is a football team that just happens to have a university.

That's why they insist on you calling it THE Ohio State university. Because Ohio State is the football team, and you probably meant THE university part of Ohio State.

>>8546541
cont.

And no, football does not equal mathematical strength. In fact they're probably inverse to each other. How many jocks do you know can even count? Lol
