85 degrees in phoenix this morning! We did have isolated thunderstorms last night but if I was under one of them they brought strong gusty winds and heavy rain! The rain was blowing almost like a noreaster in the northeast except it was rain not snow! But just because it stormed last night doesn't mean it's not going to be hot today! Highs today 112!

Hey rachel! Is there anywhere I can view your schedule from your freshman year as reference. I’m choosing classes soon and I’m also gonna major in legal studies:) I was just curious on what you may have chosen your first semester because it’s very overwhelming

Hi Jonathan! For my freshman year, I took R1B, Poli Sci 1, Philosophy, and a Sociology class. I didn't really "discover" the Legal Studies major until my sophomore spring/junior year haha. But for the Legal Studies pre-requisites, I was able to test out of the Statistics pre-req and Social Behavioral pre-req from AP exams. I also took Stat 20 at Berkeley which counts towards the Statistics pre-req, so I technically like double completed requirements since I didn't find the major until later on. The philosophy course I took freshman year actually counted towards the philosophy pre-req, unintentionally once I learned about the Legal Studies major. I have an entire video about the courses I took for Legal Studies here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pph8e7yQrM7DoJ8.html. This website includes all of the courses you need to take for Legal Studies to graduate: guide.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/degree-programs/legal-studies/#majorrequirementstext. If you're looking for more one-on-one advice with class schedules, definitely check out Study Hall College Consulting and set up a College and Career Coaching call with myself or any of the other consultants on the team: www.shcollegeconsulting.com/. Good luck with creating your class schedule!!

Which math classes were difficult?
@rachel_lin2 ай бұрын
Navya says - I took Math 10A/10B because it was calculus and statistics combined. It was very fast paced and challenging, but I wanted to be done with math requirements for medical school. Overall, I really enjoyed the class because Professor Stankova was great! You could also take Math 1A-lB with an additional statistics class (if you are on the prehealth track).

Hi Rachel and Navya, I want to know about BS in Nursing major like is its good premed major? does its good look for MCAT Applications? Any suggestions please help me. searching public colleges in California. If any let me know.
@rachel_lin Жыл бұрын
Navya says you can absolutely get a nursing degree in undergrad but typically this is intended for students who are pre-nursing! If you choose to apply to medical school with that degree, you may be asked in interviews/on the applications why you are choosing to become a doctor when you have a nursing degree. Some common majors for pre-med students include biology, chemistry, nutrition, and biomedical engineering. Ultimately you just need to take the few required classes to apply to medical school so definitely choose the major that is most interesting to you! Some universities in California you may consider are San Jose State, San Diego State, Cal Poly SLO, and any of the UCs. Hope this helps! If you are interested in speaking with Navya 1:1, check out Study Hall College Consulting and our College and Career Coaching Call service (shcollegeconsulting.com). Good luck!

Does MCB major accept AP calculus ab or bc course credits to replace calculus 1A course and AP chem credits replace with Chem 1A?
@rachel_lin2 жыл бұрын
Hi Sirisha! Unfortunately, MCB at UC Berkeley does not accept AP Calc exam scores to skip out of Math 10A, Math 1A, Math 10B, or Math 1B. This website states that AP Calc cannot be used to substitute for the math requirement - mcb.berkeley.edu/undergrad/major/major-requirements/requirements. However, MCB would allow you to use AP Chemistry scores of a 4 or 5 to skip Chem 1A/ Chem 1AL. However, it is recommended you still complete Chem 1A and Bio 1A at Berkeley even if you have the necessary AP test scores. This website goes into detail about what AP scores are allowed - mcb.berkeley.edu/undergrad/advising/advising-office/freshmen#11. Hope this helps!

Hi Navya, AP stats or AP micro economics ? Which course knowledge is preferred for MCB major or any premed major? Thanks
@rachel_lin Жыл бұрын
@@sirishakarnati6198 Hi Sirisha! Navya says AP Stats is more useful because there is a stats recommendation/requirement for most schools. In general, you can't always use AP credits to "skip" premed classes in college. So in that case, the only determining factor is how helpful the course would be for premed classes - econ is not required at all!

@@koushikscartoonflix6050 I think it would depend on the college! If you have colleges that you are interested in, you can look up the college and their financial aid office to see what kinds of aid they offer students. Some colleges may provide a lot of aid/scholarships to international students whereas other colleges may provide very little. Hope that helps!
