cafeteria food is livable but after like three weeks, you're just like... soo eager to eat anything that's not from school lol.

i have student loans. it's not as bad as some people... but i think it's a few thousand dollars a year.. prolly less than 5thousand per year. i would say if you can afford it without the student loan, go for it. and also there are two different types of loans.. sub and unsub.. i forgot which one was the "better" one. -.-; i hate these financial aid things.

akati: i'll be here! well.. maybe. i might go off campus though... wow profile day's tomorrow already. haha are you staying over night?

[kuku]

In 2008 there were 5450 who applied, and 3783 students accepted. But out of that, 882 students enroll.
This year, the number is HUGE. Around 15,000 people applied and almost 6,000 were accepted. If you do that ratio, the school will have a big incoming freshman class. This means, a LOT more new teachers and people getting screwed over for housing (meaning possibly me.)


Profile Day tomorrow! I'll probably be there for an hour or so. See you guys there.

[akati]

oh wow, why such a big increase?

[_simple.dreams]

my name is tim tong. I went to profile day it was pretty good. Do you know aileen auyueng, eric tong or emily tong?

[pucapunipoemi]

oh yeah... is it true that if we took physics(regular, nonhonors) in high school, the we don't have to take it in UOP? if so, is there a grade requirement for that? (for example C or above)
another question... what is the average PCAT score that UOP will accept? i'm planning to change my major into pharmacy, so if i got by bachlors degree for prepharm and took the PCAT and passed, do i have to get interviewed or do i just get straight into grad school?

thanks for answering!

[jjjjessica]

^ really? i got a chance to talk to a lot of the students there and attended two of their gen bio classes which was good. i got a school tour kinda from the hosts (uhhh it was kinda weird but i had to finish something up in their library for like an hour.. --'' so whatever) and we watched a movie (really weird movie i might add) at pacific theatre. the food was pretty awesome. :]. but i really liked that it wasn't the admins talking the whole time but you getting a chance to talk to UOP students as well as ppl who are mulling over similar college choices as you.

i think i might have met my potential roommate. and made a couple friends too. :]. (although i think i'm getting a single..?)

oh really?? did you go to the reception at UoP? ours was at santana row.. maybe i did miss out.. :[
i went to the Profile Day today though! it was really exciting! haha i think i made my decision to attend Pacific today! :] YAY

Hii! Yes, it is ture that taking a physics course (regular/ honor) in high school fulfills the physics requirement for high school. (I believe this question has been brought up before).
As long as you passed the class, you're all good. The letter grade will not go toward your gpa...
however it will exempt you from having to take it at UOP.

anddd I'm not sure about the other questions. gomen ne. D:

Yay! Welcome to Pacific.

[d00lie]

^ yeah i heard abuot it @ orientation. i was thrilled taht i don't have to take anymore physics. physics sucks. period.

actually. i like my teacher a lot, it's just that his class is such a killer. --''

oh wait. i thought u were talking abuot honors day. i went to the santana row thing too. (yeah that one was boring. lol.) they gave out free sweatshirts, t-shirt and a stuffed tiger (mascot) with UOp's shirt on (i wanted that or the sweatshirt but i got this lame white shirt with the word "pacific" across) mm oh well. what i liekd about the reception though was that you had a chance to talk to the pharm students and most of them took the 2+3. so that was nice. :]. it was like getting a perspective from someone who is almost done with the program and when i went to visit uop, i got to see people who are just starting the program.

[akati]

Does anyone know anything about the pharmacy sororities ? I heard they can be very helpful because they have alot of old exams and resources. Is it possible to get these type of resources without joining the sororities?

You could get old tests from older friends who have taken the classes previously. But you gotta make good friends.

______________
I know Aileen and Emily. lol are you related to them?

[coookie1004]

juuuuust making sure..
so if you do the 3+3 program then you get a bachelors, correct?
so if you end up changing your mind and not wanting to do pharmacy, after the first 3 years and getting a bachelors you can just apply to some other grad school, yes?

[akati]

does anyone know what you have to do for initiation? I dont want to have to drink or anything.

Oh and i wanna take a ge class at at community college. What course i take? i heard ge classes are gpa boosters? So whats a hard ge i can get out of the way with at a cc and avoid at uop?

[v3rmillion]

lol, I know an eric tong, but he doesn't go here. XD but his sister does/did.

only 4+3 requires that you get a bachelors degree. but you can still get one in the 3+3 program.

I heard something about taking econ at a jc. and I think initiation/pledging activities depends on the frat/sorority.

[kuku]

Yea, it depends on the fraternity. But they can't really make you drink though. However, I don't really see why you wouldn't want to haha. A lot of people change once they come into college.

lol Tracy is a lot more outgoing than she was when I first met her as a freshman.

[akati]

Do i still have to play the cowell wellness center fee even if i have medical coverage under kaiser?

Oo what should i take my first year as 3+3 pre pharm?

I know bio-51 is hard but shouldnt i try to knock it out my first year?

lol for health insurance, it's kind of annoying to do since you have to fill out paper work n stuff. I'm not sure how it works. I just buy from the school.

For first year, taking both chem and bio is a good idea. Upper division courses are harder and you want to get the easier classes out of the way.

chem and bio the first year? Isnt that really tough the first year?
Can you explain me the benefits and cons of doing that lol? i wanna weigh my options.

[yoursassyg1rl]

chem35 and bio051 together is okayy compared to the type of classes you'll be taking later on.

If you don't take bio 051 this year, you'll have to end up taking it next year.. with ochem. (eek)

Soo, I would take take it during your first year. I'm not sure if 3+3s can take bio 051 first year but I know for sure they can take bio 061 second semester. You'll have to check up on that~

ohh and random news:

I might be an honors peer next year! So, I might see you guys b/c if I get it... I'll be living in Carter. ^^

[Joisushi]

Hey can someone (or some people) please help me answer some of these questions?

~If I am not going to major in Pharm, should I bother going to UOP?
~ How are the Business and Environmental Science Majors at UOP?
~ Can I double major in those two ^ majors?

Thanks. =]
