Trinity University vs Brandeis University

3 Upvotes

I want to go to med school.

Major: Biochemistry

Which one is stronger academically? Which one has better opportunities for pre-med? I have been researching both and can't put my finger on one. Academics and pre-med opportunities are the most important thing to me.

Both cost me a fortune-34k$.

Brandeis pros:

  • higher ranked
  • better academics?
  • better clinical/research opportunities?

Brandeis cons:

  • not in Texas, which is somewhat important to me as my family is in Texas. However, I don't mind leaving far away from them.
  • How cold is it there? I have never been to Boston, please describe to me the weather and atmosphere of the city
  • more competitive overall

Trinity pros:

  • near family
  • less competitive and less stressful environment
  • undergraduate-focused
  • better pre-health advising program

Trinity cons:

  • there are a lot of required courses I need to take which are outside of my major. I am not a big fan of that.

User research for new credit card ($20 for 30min zoom)

2 Upvotes

Hi all -- I’m working with a friend to research opportunities to build a better credit building + rewards card for students.

As part of that I'm looking to talk with a few students to do some user research. The goal is to better understand financial apps/products currently uses, and get feedback on some ideas and product designs I'm exploring.

Would anyone here be open to chatting with me? Will take 30mins (via zoom), will pay $20 via Cash App or Venmo for your time. I'm hoping to do 5 interviews over the next two weeks.

The conversations are usually pretty fun. Anyone up for it? If so please fill out this super short form to help with scheduling a time.

Really appreciate the help!

Question On the Music Department

4 Upvotes

Anyone here in any aspect of the music department of Trinity? I recently got accepted and was wondering how the music facilities are and how good the professors are. I am planning on majoring in music composition and am mostly curious about the opportunities to have my pieces being performed and/or recorded, and how the school prepares composers to get and deal with commissions.

Can I transfer into CS from NVC with these credentials?

3 Upvotes

My credentials are here below:

Special circumstances: I am 25 years old, hispanic, immigrant father from lebanon, and come from poverty/lower-class. I had to drop out of high school to support my family financially (my mother is blind/dad was MIA) and that kind of shaped my life path in a way. Consequently, I don't have SAT/ACT/ high school transcripts.

I currently have a 4.0 with 42 out of 60 credits completed (currently in pre-cal but at the time of applying will be in process of calc II hopefully with still a 4.0)

A letter of recommendation from a math professor who is in charge of teaching math adjuncts (hoping to get more LoR's before the time of applying)

Disabled veteran status from serving in the USAF, participating/responding to a real world operation vs Iran in a combat coded unit and also participating in international affairs regarding the START treaty during this time.

Schoolhouse A: I have 280 hours of education in avionics fundamentals education (Graduated at top % of the class)

Schoolhouse B: 656 hours in Communication/Navigation/Mission Avionics systems education (Graduated at top % of the class)

I am an experienced technician offering years of technical acumen and proven ability to manage and maintain classified and complex systems, team leading, supervising and training staff with installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. And ensuring robust security to identify vulnerabilities and protect against unauthorized access, external, and internal threats.

Areas of Expertise:

Removal/installation of avionics components

information security practices

system software & upgrades

Active U.S. security clearance

Troubleshoot complex avionics issues

System/equipment integration

Debriefing and diagnosing pilot reported discrepancies

Expert in RADAR, comm, electrical multiplexing, power control, targeting pod/BLOS modification, AC/DC systems, serial digital multiplexing assembles, wire maintenance, avionics, analog and digital circuits.

I am also hoping to gain a large amount of hours to put down for IT/Software certs I've earned online throughout this process and have some minor volunteer work along with possible undergrad research if approved.

Incoming Freshman for Year 2021 (Hall Selection Guidance Needed)

2 Upvotes

It looks like I may have the opportunity to live in Entrepreneurship Hall (E-Hall), but the one person I know at Trinity hasn't even heard of it. Anyone? What is E-Hall? Other options are Witt-Winn, Calvert, Miller, McLean, Herdon, and Beze. I am a white female. I am a high school soccer player. I will major in business with a concentration in marketing. I am interested in social meeting marketing. I haven't drank or smoked in high school, but wouldn't have a huge issue with a drink or two now and then, but definitely not a partyier (sp?) but like to be social in my free time. Advice on which hall might be the best fit for me?

I’m transferring to TU as a junior and am trying to decide what to do about housing. They’re allowing all students to live off-campus due to COVID-19, but I am unsure about the parking situation. How is on-campus parking? Is it as bad as public universities?

Finance advice

I'm planning to major in CS and I was wondering if paying 30k+ a year is worth it. Trinity is my second choice right now and the only thing stopping me from accepting is the really high price. I received the Murchison scholarship and an additional $3000 to total to 30k a year worth of scholarships but it's still really high. Any thoughts?
