Bioengineering Freshman Survival Guide
Wish someone had given you insider advice when you were a freshman? If you could repeat your first years, what would you do differently? BMES is compiling its first “Bioengineering Student Survival Guide,” an informal guide encompassing valuable advice for incoming bioengineering freshmen!
Impart your wisdom to the next generation by writing short blurbs about anything bioengineering related– classes, research, teaching, student life, industry, summer opportunities, professional school, networking, volunteering, and more. All advice is welcome and will remain anonymous. Potential advice could be about: planning out course loads, studying effectively, switching tracks, succeeding in laboratory or programming classes, searching/applying for research positions, being a good TA, working on senior design projects, getting letters of recommendation, writing personal statements, applying for jobs, etc.
Take the time to help out freshmen by reflecting on what worked (and didn’t work!) for you. Please email your blurbs, separated by topic, to Melody Chung (m3chung[at]ucsd[dot]edu). Include your track if you have track-specific advice.
