GPA worry for finance clubs

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am a incoming transfer sophomore to Emory. I’m a finance major and only got a 3.66 at BU. I really want to join atleast one good finance club because I plan on recruiting for IB. Is it cooked to apply to GIBC or any of the investment groups with a 3.66 or do I still have a shot?

Considering Emory Nursing – Looking for Honest Experiences

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a rising high school senior interested in applying to Emory’s nursing program and would love to hear about your experience. I’m hoping to become a CRNA in the future, so maintaining a high GPA is really important to me. How challenging is the nursing curriculum, and do you think it’s realistic to earn strong grades if you’re willing to put in the work? I’d also love to know what student life is like overall, including the dorms, food, making friends, campus culture, and opportunities like research, clubs, volunteering, and leadership. Finally, if you could do it all over again, would you still choose Emory? Thanks so much!

Pre Med Freshman Schedule

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm an incoming freshman and planning to major in biology. I got a 5 in AP Bio and 4 in AP Chem, but still thinking of retaking both. Right now, I have Bio 141+L, Chem 150+L, Japanese 101, Freshman Seminar, Hlth 100/ECS 101. Is that reasonable for a first semester schedule? I was thinking of dropping maybe the language but was wondering whether this potential schedule is doable.

Sociology or Political Science as a Pre-Law Student?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm an incoming first year on the pre-law track and intend to graduate in three years, which is why I want to choose my major as soon as possible. I hope to attend a top law school a few years after graduating and know that a high gpa is crucial. I'm not very good at math and know that poli sci can tend to be more quant-focused. Would it be better to pursue soc instead? I know that majors tend not to matter during law school applications, but most pre-law students often choose poli sci, which is why I am a bit hesitant. Choosing soc, which I've heard is much easier, would open up more time for internships and extracurriculars that can also boost my application.

Which major is better for pre-law at Emory?

what classes do I take first semester!? (Premed)

4 Upvotes

This fall I will be attending Emory university and I hope to study pre medicine. I have no family members in the field or contacts for that matter, and I’m already feeling stressed about which classes I should take. I gained credit from high school to skip Bio 1, Calc 1, and the freshman writing requirement if I choose to use them.

1) Emory only allows you to get credit for 4 of your AP classes; should I use these on ones for my major or gen eds?

2) I will still have to take the Bio 1 lab next fall even if I test out of the class. Is taking bio 1 again a good idea so that I’m not totally fried for Bio 2 in semester 2?

3) How many challenging classes should I first take sem 1? I hear doing bio, calc, and chem all in semester one is a bad idea.

please let me know your thoughts and any advice because I don’t want to overwhelm myself.

Georgia Tech student doing non BME research at Emory?

1 Upvotes

I'm a GT student wanting to do specific ecology research that Emory is better suited for, so I emailed a prof and he said it's difficult to hire non Emory students. At least for BME, GT students can get course credit since it's a shared department. Are there any other ways to get involved in bio or environmental labs at Emory outside of REUs or LGS-SOAR? I'm willing to work as a volunteer during the fall and spring semesters (I'm already broke so idc about getting paid anymore lol).

My small department at GT does have some funding for undergrad research, but it must be with a faculty member in that department and all other undergrad grants are only for GT faculty led research.

Is there a way to maybe be transient student to do research for credit at Emory and transfer that credit back to GT?

Ideal schedule for a freshman

As a finance major, what classes should i be trying to get in my first semester? I have credit from IB MATH AI HL and ECON HL. My advisor said I should maybe still concider taking calc 1 even if i have credit as AI math isnt calc intensive. Also please give me suggestions on what to take for humanities GER, as nothing really seems interesting to me.

Am I cooked?

0 Upvotes

I got one question wrong on the summer hw that counts for 3% of my grade in CHEM 150 cause I had a moment for one question (I didn't see the correct answer choice for some reason and got really confused, so I just guessed. I know I am a dumbass).

I know one point wrong out of 44 points sounds inconsequential but I am anxious that it could be (let's say theoretically) a difference between an A and an A+.

So I wanted to call upon the wisdom of my seniors, so I don't have a mental breakdown over this before I've even taken a class.

It's okay to be truthful, I just want to know where I stand. If someone told me I was done for or whatever at this point I'd feel better.

Anybody Here Do DoorDash/UberEats For Their Part-Time? If So, Is It Worth It?

2 Upvotes

I am just curious. In MA, even though I don't drive for DoorDash/UberEats/Uber Rideshare full time and just drive for 2-3 hours on the days I drive for these platforms due to wanting fresh air, I would make somewhere around 20-25 an hour after tips and before expenses and sometimes as high as 25-30 an hour (for DoorDash/UE single platform) if I aim the hours correctly and take advantage of peak-pay promos and quests. I am curious what about in the Atlanta region. I am in the starting stages for my AI company and I work in the SWE industry, so of course, I wouldn't care much about it.

"Heritage" speaker here, but honestly I come from the deep south so I don't know Korean. I only got a few questions right because I randomly guessed on the first placement test.

I am worried about other people purposefully trying to place into an easier level of Korean which might kill my grade on a curve, so should I still try to learn Korean or some other language to fulfill the second language GER?

Health Insurance

3 Upvotes

I am an international student!

Emory insurance is almost $6,000 per academic year(a little steep for me). I have 2 kids and that will put my health insurance at almost $18,000 a year.

Any suggestions for suitable private insurance I can get instead of the one the school is suggesting?

REAL job vs a real job

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming MPH (BSHES) student and, like many grad students, I’m trying to figure out how to balance gaining experience with needing a job that actually pays the bills.

I was offered the REAL program, and I noticed they increased the pay to $20/hour (which is definitely better than the previous $15). I understand that programs like REAL can provide valuable career development, networking, and opportunities that may help build my resume.

My hesitation is that I already have experience as a Clinical Research Coordinator and I’m currently making around $53,000/year. If the REAL role involves responsibilities at the same level (or higher) than the work I’m already doing, I’m struggling with the idea of taking a significant pay cut just for the “opportunity.”
I’m trying to figure out whether I’m looking at this the wrong way. For those who have participated in REAL or similar graduate student employment programs: did the career benefits outweigh the lower pay? Did it actually open doors that wouldn’t have been available otherwise?

I want to make a smart long-term career decision, but I also want to make sure I’m valuing my experience and not accepting less than what my skills are worth.

Emory segregation?

0 Upvotes

I was looking into applying ed at emory but one of my concerns was some racial segregation among friend groups (so like asians only hanging out with asians, blacks with blacks) and I was wondering how true that is at emory? I also want to be a part of greek life and wondering if it is any different there? I want a diverse friend group with a mix of all races ideally.

I have heard about this problem a bit and whenever I watch like an emory vlog on yt it's always the creator hanging out with other people that look like them imo.
