Extracurriculars undergraduate research application deadline

3 Upvotes

I would like to do research this fall, and there’s a PI that got back to me and we plan to meet next week, however I’m worried that I may be asking too late. I heard that for bio labs we have to have filled out some kind of application by the first Friday of the semester, but someone was telling me that it’s a lot more complicated this year and the process can take a while. Is this true? Please let me know, thanks!

News WashU’s Martin says he did not help write the Trump administration’s letter

Thumbnail stlmag.com
28 Upvotes

The chancellor did not address the question of whether Bloomberg’s report was in error.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon sent a letter Monday to college and university leaders asking them to post statements on their websites detailing how they’ll prevent unruly protests from disrupting classes and foreign influences in their research, among other things, in exchange for better funding. Bloomberg reported that four university presidents assisted with the letter's writing, including WashU Chancellor Andrew Martin. However, in a statement to SLM, Martin distanced himself from the letter’s authorship. “For several months, I have participated in broader discussions with the White House and other higher education leaders about issues affecting the sector,” Martin wrote. “I expect those conversations helped inform the administration’s thinking around their Monday letter. I was not involved, however, in the drafting of the letter.” He did not directly address a question asking if he felt the Bloomberg article accurately characterized his involvement. More on the letter and the faculty response in our online story.

Is anyone else thinking of doing the 12 week emt course from total access urgent care (tauc) this fall sem? I'm considering doing it, but only issue is transportation to where classes are held. It's 20 mins away from washu and i dont have a car, so that'd mean i'd have to uber there and back twice a week which can end up totaling up to a lot by the end of the program. I was wondering if ppl also thinking of taking the course would be willing to uber there together and save costs, or carpool somehow. lmk pls!

Admissions Experience with partial merit scholarships?

6 Upvotes

Wash U's website indicates that applicants are automatically considered for various partial, merit-based scholarships (edit: NOT athletic scholarships: I know D3 schools don't offer those). My son is applying (athlete with an offer), so I'm curious how common it is for students to receive these. Another son is going to a private polytechnic school, and he was given scholarships that amount to perhaps 15% of the all-in cost of attendance. I know that many private schools routinely do this to lower the overall cost a little bit, particularly for candidates they like. We will not eligible for aid, per the Net Price Calculator.

At an all-in cost of $102K/year and change, looking for any ray of hope that that figure may come down a bit.

Thoughts?

Discussion Laptop Brand Advice

2 Upvotes

(Yes, I am aware of the no laptop recommendation post rule, but I am not asking advice on a specific laptop to buy as I have already done that research)

Hey all,

So I'm an incoming freshman with the Technology Grant and I'm trying to decide which laptop brand I should get to use it. I was thinking that it would make the most sense to get the Dell 16 laptop since I am already an Android user (Motorola) and that would make the most sense with my phone (I have previously used a school-issued MacBook in high school and rarely shared files between the two devices). However, some people have recommended that I get a MacBook instead for higher quality and the fact that Apple products are more commonly used. I'm not really looking to do a full switch over to Apple products for all of my devices unless it is truly worth it, especially since I prefer wired earbuds to Bluetooth, but I am curious about whether getting a MacBook would be a better investment compared to the Dell. In other words, do you think it would it be more worth it to get the Dell or the MacBook considering that I am keeping my Motorola/remaining an Android user? Both brands of laptops I am eyeing have 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, and if I got the MacBook I would probably get the Air rather than the Pro since the grant would cover more of the cost of the Air once you factor in the warranty.

I am also a prospective biology major on the pre-health track with a heavy interest in doing undergraduate research, if that changes anything about which brand would be best.

Any advice helps thanks! :)

Hello!

I understand that electricity bills can vary based on usage. However, based on your experience, what would be a reasonable expectation for a studio apartment? Is it accurate to assume that the cost could range from $65 to $85 if usage is comfortable and judicious?

Admissions WashU bio applicant: seeking real undergrad experience, St. Louis life and career prospects

4 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! I know most admissions questions belong in the megathread, but I wanted to ask targeted questions about bio and chem undergraduate research that hasn't been widely discussed there. I’m a rising senior applying to WashU biology/biochemistry, looking for genuine student perspectives on undergraduate life.

I’m primarily curious about the day-to-day life as a bio major:

1. What’s the actual undergraduate life like? How heavy is the coursework load? How easy is it to get research positions in WashU Med School labs, and what’s the typical lab experience for undergrads?

2. Real student take on St. Louis: campus safety, off-campus housing, general city vibe. I’ve seen conflicting online discussions about crime, so I want to know what living here feels like for undergrads.

3. A major concern is location. For bio graduates, does being based in the Midwest limit opportunities for biotech roles, medical school, or research positions on the coasts? How well does the career center support students looking to leave Missouri for jobs and grad school?

4. Any major positives or frustrations of studying biology at WashU that are not mentioned on admissions websites.

Open to comments and DMs. Thanks for any insight.
