Hi, I'm taking calculus and I was wondering if problem-solving and comprehension go necessarily hand-to-hand. For example, I often do not understand long and extensive texts and simply try to narrow it down to understanding the concepts intuitively. I have so far managed to do well in math...

It is usually for students interested in applying methods of the physical sciences to problems in physiology and allied biological sciences.

This is simply not true. I've seen you around the forum 2-3 times writing this and it annoys me when you give out false information. A Physics degree is versatile and opens many doors. Not everyone in Physics thinks of getting a faculty position, so don't limit your career prospects to...

No. An essay can justify an abnormal grades curve. For instance, if you are strong in grade 9, but fell apart in grade 10 and 11, you can then reason with the admission committee. This is assuming a positive prognosis, ie: the individual expected to achieve excellent grades post grade 11. And...

Anyone? :)

What if you specifically reference your illness in your essay, and demonstrate your academic/personal growth. I'm thinking of discussing about it, because I believe this will show a bigger picture to the admission committee. Like add a different or extra perspective.

Thumbs up! I definitely agree with everything you've said!

Well the thing is, even if they don't explicitly ask, I'm counting writing an essay (part of the application) which probably will refer to it. I intend to showcase my struggle with Bipolar Disorder, mentioning how it affected me on an academic scale and personal. The point is to display the...

I was wondering if Universities discriminate against people who suffer from one or several mental illnesses? What about MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Princeton, Caltech, etc etc ? I ask this because I will be soon applying to University in about 1.5 year and sometimes they ask for any health issue...

Doesn't one risk to lose the spark/opportunity if one waits too long and goes deeper into the friendship phase? I mean, you can't precisely expect when the "love fire" will burn out. As you become friends for a period of more then a few days, to weeks, to even a few months, I wouldn't...

Hello guys, I will soon be stepping into the IB1 program and before I start school in late august, I wish to properly* review my maths (including but not limited to algebra, geometry, functions, graphs, etc). * I really need to strengthen my mathematical foundation. I'm looking forward to...

Another pitiful thread, but I'll go ahead and mention this. I'm 18, turning 19 soon...and I have been single so far! To be honest, I've never been in any particular rush to have a girlfriend. I'm somewhat of a spontaneous person, waiting for love to simply happen. I don't go and pursue it...

I tried looking up on Berkeley's website (more specifically the Engineering Physics web page) and I wasn't able to find a detailed course outline or a typical EP course schedule for the 4 years. As an example, maybe you can provide your schedule so I may have an idea what it looks like? Also...
