*weeding out goes away

>>5607879
The weeding out go away after the 2nd year. I'm doing fine atm, went through a mini-burnout but its good now. The reason a lot of people say its hard it because they accept people with 78% averages.

Shit, all this different advice is confusing me. I'll make sure to do research every summer and attempt to get buddy buddy with a prof without being one of those fake suckups, ugh.

Thanks a bunch brother :-], Extremely appreciated.

Honestly all this advice has been extremely helpful and I would have probably made a couple of bad mistakes if I didn't make this thread.

I'd recommend against it tbh, after reading this:

Doesn't only one guy run it?

I use multiple colours for my notes, like, i do important points in red and any headers/formulas in blue. sometimes stuff is in purple.

Before lecture, I make notes on the textbook section (not super detailed), then supplement them with the lecture stuff while thinking about it, so I have more time to absorb info. into my head instead of onto a page. This takes more work though.

For very complex math/physics problems, I make model solutions where I put an 1 line desc. of each step beside the step. VEEERYYY useful 1 yr down the road or if you forget something before the test.

For commuters, watch khanacademy vids on the bus with headphones in on subjects you are learning, haveing multiple perspectives helped me.

That's all I can think of bruv

what?

>>5607780
This is exactly what I've heard too, which is why I wanted to just take the math major + neuro major and learn supplementary neuro by myself, because I would be able to. I'm still reviewing everything I know and putting together possible action plans

Thanks for the advice though :^)

Are you forgetting that the brain won't last forever?
Granted, the longer we can keep it alive, the more research we have into extending its lifespan

If no one with a mark the same or higher than you dropped, talk to course admin or something

come on man you can do it

>>5607512
If you haven't started yet, I'd ask profs/people you know/sci(1 down)/doctors you can contact about ways to boost your chances of getting in (Maybe interning at a hospital helps? I dunno)
