Rate my professor has such mixed opinions so I’d love to hear from people who actually took the class, although many there’s not really a choice in terms of professor.
Chem 1 & 2
Physics 1&2
Bio (might be able to take the “ap” version or whatever it is)
For physics 2 I saw the reviews of the professor and everyone says to just wait to take it with someone else 😭 and then chem it seems like u mostly get an A because theres an insane amount of EC

Like omg I got asked this multiple times today.. like what do you think 🫩 It’s just so frustrating

Probably a dumb question, but I can't find anything online. I was going to do Gen Chem 1 over the summer but then was informed there's no Gen Chem 2 for fall (which does make sense) So I was wondering if it would be possible to take it at MCC?

Hi! Since I’m going to college I will finally have the opportunity to visit my bsf in Chicago during time off. My only thing is I can’t drive and so I was wondering if anybody knows the cheapest way to get to the train station, I’m having trouble finding information on transportation/bus routes (if there is one)

edit: also is this even safe? idk i’ve heard bad things about rochester and im a girl so maybe i should’ve kept that more into consideration lol

I’m 18 and have been trying to get a job for months and it never works out. I have done absolutely everything and each time I either never hear back or am told my availability doesn’t work. Today I had my like 80th interview and walk in and am immediately told they’re out sick and will contact me. It’s just incredibly frustrating because I need to get a job asap, have an exam tomorrow I could’ve spent that time studying for, and am honestly just embarrassed.

Hi everyone! I’m going to be a freshman in college this fall and am going to complete Calc 1 over the summer that way I have one less math class to wreck my gpa (lol.) No but in all honesty I really do want to do well.
For context in elementary school I missed ALOT of basic math skills because I got diagnosed with cancer and you know it’s not the easiest to learn multiplication while you’re on chemo. When I got back to school I had really no support in making sure I succeeded in school. In 6th grade I was consistently failing my tests. Covid hit and everyone was allowed to pass no matter what. Once I hit highschool I was terrified for math. I took Alg 1 and bless that teacher he was the sweetest and I actually ended with an A. Geometry through me for a loop and I barely passed, same with Algebra 2 and now AP Precalc (left 2 FULL frqs blank on my exam.)

My calc class starts July 7th, honestly I was considering starting from scratch and going back and learning the absolute basics (multiplication,division) and then try to go through khan academy for alg 1 & 2 and then brush up on my trig (I’ve heard that’s really all precalc would help with.) Do you think this would actually help me? Or does anyone have any other advice for how to go about this. I DESPERATELY want to be good at math & honestly I’m a bit excited to take calc!

Hi! I’m going to be an undergrad Bio (something) major this fall! I am registered to do Calc 1 over the summer & then I was also considering doing Gen Chem 1 (I only got a 3 on AP Chem) over the summer. When I contacted them however they said there’s no Gen Chem 2 in the fall. Does anyone know if I could just take it at mcc & transfer it in? I’m from a whole different county though.

I really hate that I feel this way, but I genuinely feel embarrassed telling people where I'm going to college. I know it's a good school (URochester), but, in all honesty, I never really saw myself going there, so I'm having trouble accepting it. I applied to so many "good" schools and, of course, got rejected. I just got rejected from the UChicago waitlist, which I have been holding out on for so long. I have BU and Lehigh (my other top) left, but even if I get off, I probably won't be able to afford it. I know it really doesn't matter where you go for undergrad, but I have it so ingrained in me that I HAVE to go to a top school. I went into this knowing my stats were mediocre and that this would happen, but I still feel so awful. I just want to like where I'm going and feel excited about college, but I'm just so ashamed.

I have been wallowing over the fact I mostly got rejected or waitlisted at places. I held out hoping for UChicago waitlist but ofc got rejected, and probably wouldn't be able to afford the other schools on my waitlist.

I really want to like this school, but I am having such a hard time overcoming my disappointment. What are some things you love that I may not know of yet? If it helps, I'll probably be a Biochem major (:

Got rejected off the waitlist and this fucking sucks. I know I shouldn’t have expected anything but I would be lying if I said I didn’t even have a bit of hope. I am devastated and beyond sad. I just don’t know how to move on now, I’ve been waiting so long for this. I honestly wish they would’ve just rejected me in the first place.

Hi! I am planning on applying for accommodations for a single, but was wondering if anyone knows whether the singles even have bathrooms in them anyway? Due to my disability, I can't use a communal shower because I can fall easily.

Additionally, does anyone have any experience with accommodations and know if they will typically honor the request for a single?

I genuinely can’t sleep because I feel like I’m regretting a lot. I’m going to a research school for undergrad and applied Biology (will probably switch to Biochemistry.) There’s technically no premed path besides taking the required classes which I’ll do through my major anyways. I am really worried though as I haven’t been the strongest in school. I struggle a lot in math and science which I know makes no sense because of my major but I’m really passionate about doing something surrounding pediatric cancer since I’m a survivor.
I am currently in AP Precalc and all I could think of when I did the exam was how doomed I am for college. I am planning on doing calc 1 over the summer but going forward I’m still gonna have more math classes and I genuinely am afraid I’ll tank my GPA right away. I took AP Chem junior year and struggled sooo bad & ended up with a 3.

While a part of me is still trying to be excited for college I am honestly terrified. I feel so stupid in comparison to my peers and am questioning if I should do something I’m better at (humanities)

It’s like everyone is so happy to move on but I am so filled with fear and I genuinely feel very lost.

Barely answered any of the frqs and just sat their crying 💀 ik everyone says it easy but im stupid af

Hi! I’m going to be a freshman this year and was just wondering if anyone had any insight on credits or any advice on what I should do!
I took AP Chem junior year and got a 3 (☹️) which means no credit for me..
I was thinking of maybe doing Gen chem 1 at the CC near me this summer but then I realized that there probably wouldn’t be a Gen chem 2 fall semester for freshman because its usually a spring class. I also looked into CLEP exams but I really couldn’t find anything on if Rochester would take it.

I really just want to be done with Gen chem at this point 😭 it would be my 3rd yr taking chem (honors, ap, now gen) and I’m mostly just over it. I would have to do Organic which I know is said to be the hardest thing ever 💔

If anyone has any insight lmk!
(Planning on Biochem possibly pre-med)

I’m so drained and I know everyone is gonna call it senioritis but I’ve felt this way all year and it’s hitting real hard right now. I have struggled sm mentally this year and I’m finding it especially hard to care right now. I locked in so hard for college apps and then was disappointed. I honestly am not excited about anything. I also feel so lonely because I don’t have friends to really do any of the senior activities with. My bestfriend lives states away and literally gets out of school next week.On top of this since im in NY we graduate at the very end of June. Thankfully theres state testing before then so I don’t have to be in school but I’m barely holding on. The only AP I cared about was Bio and the others I barely studied for. I still have precalc and spanish lang and I genuinely can’t bring myself to study knowing I get absolutely no credit for them. On top of this I have so much school work I’m missing, finals, and college stuff. I am exhausted and mentally falling back into the hole I was on at the beginning of the year. I get the year isn’t over but my teachers genuinely have no leniency and it’s so incredibly frustrating, and I know on the outside it looks like I’m a bad student.

Idk I feel so alone, is anyone else dealing with this? And I’ll take any advice really

I’m honestly so conflicted because I’m being told so many different things. I’m going to be a freshman this fall and am planning on doing premed even though I’m not even set on med school (I really don’t want to do it but for my specialty I’ll probably have to.) I’m majoring in some type of Biology (as of right now probably Biochemistry) but am being advised that’s a dumb decision because If I back out of med school I’ll be left unemployed?? My goal is cancer research like I absolutely want to do this (I’m a cancer survivor so it genuinely means sm to me) but I also am becoming more interested in actually interacting with patients

What doesn’t help is I’m unfortunately not very good at math & science. Like I would say for science I’m mediocre and math I struggle A TON. This worries me because I know for med school you need to practically have a perfect GPA & if I’m going to be taking upper level maths and sciences I know I’ll probably struggle a lot. I do love history and english but despite that I can’t really see myself dedicating a whole 4yrs to it. And I mean I love science but I’m just not good at it 😭

This is honestly stressing me out a ton. It’s like I can’t really win no matter what I do.

I'm an AP Chemistry survivor, and I failed all my tests in class (some as low as 30%) and barely answered the FRQ, yet somehow got a 3. I know you all want higher than I 3, but truly, I thought I failed so! DON'T PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER!! I literally started falling asleep during the exam last year; it's not worth it. Make sure you read the questions carefully, too!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, if feels awesome to be free from ap chem (not so awesome that I have to take gen chem but yk..)

I'm so confused, I did one practice test and got a 39/60, then did another and got a 28/60. I want to just give up atp this makes no sense at all.

I am seriously so nervous. I got a 39/60 on my mcq and that really made me scared. I honestly don’t know how to improve. I am gonna start grinding through frqs because we never did any in class but the anxiety is making me too afraid to even start. I still need to figure out all the graphing (I didn’t even know what error bars were.) I feel super unprepared and I really want a 4 or 5. The cluster mcqs are the absolute worst and I truly feel like I’m dumb trying to do them.
I’ve been watching sciencemusicvideos & ap bio penguins but I feel like I still don’t understand everything.
Is there any hope?? And does anyone have any advice?
My class was dual enrollment and all my tests were that style (not AP AT ALL) so I can’t even look over anything

Hi all! I’m really in need of some guidance of what to do here.

I 18 (f) have an online friend 18 (f), who I’ve known for a year. We have gotten really close and in getting to know her she’s opened up to my here struggles with mh ($h, si, depression.) Her parents genuinely do not care. She also has told me she doesn’t want help in navigating this.

Over this week she has informed me she’s seriously considering not being here anymore, that “she could do it anyday.” I have always done my best to be there for her but honestly I think it’s gotten to a point for her now and because of that I am deeply concerned. It’s the fact I physically cannot be there that sucks, I could say so much but at the end of the day I’m not there to stop her.

This is causing me a lot of anxiety, I have exams soon and this is truly all I can think about. I feel like I should tell someone now. I know where she goes to school and so I had the idea that maybe I call there? I am worried she’ll find out it was me who called though. Most of all I’m worried I’ll make things worse. She has talked to the school psychologist before but ofc she cant really tell them this stuff.
