If so, undergrads are really competitive here and bio is probably the most competitive with all of the premeds. You need to put in lots of hard work, that's it. Yes, surprised you remember, that was quite some time ago. Even though I have a large disinterest in bio, which as you said is heavily competitive, I have been using the university resources to succeed, but to no avail. This semester I'm going to try the new PASC tutoring, you've probably heard of it. Still asking questions, doing extra credit, and discussing stuff with other students in class (which is pretty much what BIO203 is all about. Sit down for 2 hours talking about a few questions.) Good for you. I recommend you also watch lectures from other schools online, MIT may have them for BIO. Also reading the textbook is always very helpful. I'm not sure how it works in Bio exactly, but in CS all of the TA graders were PhD students, yet very few people ever came to me for help except before an exam. If you need help you should seek out a graduate TA during office hours. There is a good chance that they can help you out since otherwise we twiddle our thumbs in a loud TA room for 1-2 hours doing nothing lol. But keeping up with readings, and HW, and other lectures, and tutoring is simply work. It's going to take up more than a full time job including your lectures. It really doesn't matter if you have passion, as long as you put in the work. --- "Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience." <cite>IllegalAlien posted [p:886357534] in do you reg...
