can anyone tell me what the 3 exams scheduled for thursday mean? are they just quiz timings or exams from the dates below?

title. i'm attending a pretty research-heavy public university in the fall and knocking out my gen eds and 2 pre-med requirements my first semester. my advising was scheduled much later than i liked due to my exams spreading out through the majority of june.
although i got the classes i wanted, i wasn't able to sign up for my university's flagship undergrad research program as the deadline had already passed. i was not aware that you could apply before your first year (it did not state that anywhere on the university website) otherwise i would have definitely done so. i have a chance to do it again, so i'm not completely cooked.
i suffered from severe burnout during my senior year of hs a

I (18F) am moving back to the US from India for university in August and I haven't had much luck for college clothes shopping here. I dress pretty feminine & I'm mainly just looking for cute tops I can pair w my 4 american eagle jeans (2 straight cut, one bootcut and one wide leg) but as someone with a larger chest (40D) it's been relatively difficult to find tops that aren't a) something out of my grandma's closet or b) showing off the girls a little too much to be appropriate for my 8am sociology class. where do y'all find cute, trendy sweaters/t-shirts/nice tops for college that don't break the bank? i prefer full length tops but i'm okay exploring cropped tops and other styles as well!

met with rc advising today (becca) and registered for classes. i do a levels and my bio, chem and math scores aren't out yet but i took the chem placement test and got placed into chem 130. i'm also pre-med so chem 130 and soc102 partially knock out some requirements.
for my intensive language requirement, i'm a fluent colloquial tamil speaker and can read and write slowly so she advised i take the proficiency exam to possibly skip the requirement entirely/only do upper level courses. how hard are the upper level courses? i don't want to saddle myself with too much but at the same time do want to free up some credits for pre-med/major courses (i'm majoring in bcn)

does anyone have the link to the academic interest survey that advising asks you to fill out before orientation? i can't find it in any of my orientation modules.

what score generally lets you test out of gen chem at umich? is it a direct cutoff or do other factors determine whether you test out?

this is for fall 2025 & my advising is on july 9. i had exams all the way until june 15 and have only just been able to register for classes so i'm on a ton of waitlists except for spanish and my writing seminar. i'm majoring in bcn on a premed track but obvs haven't had advising yet so unsure whether to add those courses in.
how exactly do i navigate this situation? the rc orientation module has said that i'll be expected to take one fywr course, one intensive language course and one major course. however, i'm at a beginner's level in spanish so spanish 101 will only count

i'm committed to umich and had decent predicted grades (i do a levels), but my final semester of senior year has been extremely rough due to my own health issues, my mom needing emergency surgery right at the beginning of my exams as well as administrative issues at my school that have caused a bunch of my teachers to leave.
umich accepted me with a c in chemistry that was brought up to an A after my exam retake in october. i think i can maintain my other grades to an extent but i've had to self study chemistry this entire year because our teacher dropped out at the beginning of term and it's been extremely difficult along with losing teachers for my other subjects as well. it's not looking

context: i'm already committed to umich but i recently got off the bryn mawr waitlist and they threw an insane amount of money at me!! i'm pre-med so cost is a huge factor and i have until saturday night to decide between the two schools

| - prestige. it's a t20 school and ranked #3 for my major. their medical school is also consistently ranked in the top 10-15 nationally. | - the cost. i applied knowing i would get less aid as an oos applicant but the amount of aid they gave me was half the amount that showed up on the npc. the financial aid office wasn't willing to negotiate when i tried either. | - the neur |

will most probably be attending uofm as a biopsychology, cognition and neuroscience major (bcn) on a premed track! i've seen a few posts regarding this but figured it was time to make my own as well for some updated info. here are my questions:
- is the bcn major considered very difficult? i picked it because i'm looking to hopefully go into obgyn/psychiatry and it seemed very aligned with that goal, although i'm willing to switch to an easier one to not hurt my gpa.
- how hard are core sciences, esp organic chemistry? i'm coming in from the british a-level curriculum which is supposed to cover us university 1st year content but i've heard differing things about difficulty and harsh grad

I'm a US citizen (18F) coming back to the country after a few years of living abroad to start university this fall semester. With the laws being passed on voting as well as immigration, it seems safer to have a way to prove my citizenship other than my passport. However I have no clue how to go about getting a real ID, especially since I don't live in the US yet. Could anyone give me guidance on how to get one and if I even can without current residency?
