Good luck girl!! ☺️
I saw you in a pre-med panel from WASHU! So glad you have a UA-cam channel!!
hi!
I subscribed!😊
I love your videos, keep posting please:)
thank you so much and after exams this week I will definitely be posting more!!!
Great content
Monday’s sound like a lot of work!
Make more videos I love your content💖
omg i lived in dauten this year and remember watching this before i had moved in and not knowing what building you were in, ahhh that's so funny
Lmao
Nice video, would you say it is hard to earn an A in the premed courses?
Thanks! The premed courses during freshman year are very difficult and require many hours of studying. I would not say an A is unattainable, but you will have to put in the work to get it. Also, not getting an A is not the end of the world as long as you are getting the most out of every class.
Thank you for posting this video, it’s so helpful! I just got accepted to Washu and not completely sure if I’m gonna attend, but I’m interested in majoring in global health too. Would you say that the global health classes are more science and epidemiology based, or more focused on health policy and sociology? Also, is there a strong black presence on campus, and specifically an office or any type of space for black students?
Congrats on getting in!! The intro global health class is definitely more focused on health policy and sociology, but I am not too sure about the upper level global health courses. However, you can definitely find classes geared towards both here. As far as black presence, there are many clubs that are for black students that you can get involved in. There are also offices that are centered around diversity. It's definitely a community that you have to seek out, but we are here and thriving!!!
@@desiraebartos2700 thank you for replying :) I actually just found out that I got early admittance to the Medicine and Society program! It sounds super interesting and aligns with exactly what I want to do, but I'm just wondering what you know about the program, or if you've heard anything about it.
@@kendalld3872 congrats!! I have not heard much about that program. All that I know about it is that there are a few required courses that you will have to take in your first year. I am also pretty sure that you will also be working with Dr. Stoner, who is an amazing medical anthropologist and teaches some of the most interesting anthro courses here. I think it is an amazing opportunity that is definitely worth considering.
@@kendalld3872 Hi!!! This is super late haha but I also got early admitted to the MedSoc program! Super weird that I found this on youtube but also pretty cool! I would love to talk if you want to :)
Hi! I'm going to washu in the fall, but i was offered fsap for this summer and i was wondering which courses you took during fsap? I remember you mentioned it in another video on your channel. Also, i was wondering if those course helped in gen chem, gen bio, and first year physics? I'm still deciding between chem and physics for my 3rd course of fsap, so your insight would be helpful!
omg congrats, ur gonna love fsap, it was such a great experience!!!! I took chemistry and quantitative reasoning. I would definitely say that taking chem this summer helped tremendously with gen chem in the fall. All of my friends would say the same. It really helped me to figure out what my best study strategies were and gave me a good idea of the rigor of the course in the fall. I can not speak for physics because I did not take it over the summer or this year, but I am sure it will be helpful too. But unless you are planning to take physics in your first year, I would definitely go for the chem option.
@@desiraebartos2700 thanks for the response! on the fsap website, it recommends taking physics course for gen chem for some reason? Also, I've been told that the fsap class covers more material of gen chem 2 than gen chem 1, is that true? Also, what do the 7 credits we earn in fsap count towards? im a chemical engineering major btw, thanks!
@@hubbiemid6209 umm there are some basic physics concepts in the first semester of gen chem like force and things like that. I think it would be helpful to have taken physics in high school before chem, but I know people who were fine without having taken it in high school. Last summer's fsap definitely covered more of first semester gen chem in my opinion. The first month or two of lectures were concepts directly from fsap. Maybe this was different in other years, but for me it definitely helped more during first semester. The 7 credits are counted toward your total college credits, so it puts you ahead of everyone else. If there is a semester that maybe you don't want to take a whole bunch of credits, you will always have the 7 credits to fall back on. So mainly it gives you some wiggle room when picking your course load, which is extremely helpful.
You in the cold 😂😂😂. Doesn’t look fun
What are u majoring in? Do u feel like WashU has a lot of grade deflation?
I'm a global health major on the premed track. I don't think there is too much if any grade deflation. In many of the classes (especially premed courses) there is either a curve on the exams or the threshold to earn a certain grade will be lowered at the end of the semester increasing many student's grades.
How do you find the first year science courses at WashU? What is the level of difficulty like? Is it possible to get all A's while still enjoying college and pursuing research/extracurriculars?
Yea so the science courses are definitely challenging, but they are manageable. Washu offers a ton of academic resources that if taken advantage of can be extremely helpful. In my opinion, extracurriculars and things like sports and research really help to stay focused and most student here are in some type of extracurricular so it is definitely manageable.
Hi. Idk much but does the uni offer mbbs or bds?
do you still go to school on the weekends?
I do not
What college writing did you take?
My first year we didn’t have all the college writing options that u all have now. But I did hear that the dreams course was a good option for people who don’t like writing too much. But if u do enjoy writing I would suggest just picking one of the classes that sounds the most interesting to u and I’m sure you will be fine :)
Desirae Bartos thanks for the reply! I think I’m signing up for power and commodities so I hope that one’s good lmao. I love your channel!!
What is bd? Lol. Biding dall jk dining hall
