<p>Those look like sample questions from the AP 5 Bio sequence at UChicago. The AP 5 Bio sequence, which is basically honors biology, is selective and emphasizes a research/academic bent towards biology, hence the critical questions. I’ve heard that AP 5 basically teaches you how to think like a biology researcher rather than just a biology student.</p>
<p>Hey guys… I need help now its Rice vs Berkeley vs Chicago vs Cornell… I’m likely to take Berkeley off my list… can you guys help me ?</p>
<p>Bump!!?!!?</p>
<p>How’s Cornell look financially? Realize that Ithaca, while a fine town (one of my best friends is from there), is very different from the city of Chicago, and Cornell is significantly larger than Chicago as well. Cornell is also known for being a (relative) grade deflator, so GPA concerns vs. Chicago/Berkeley are not major.</p>
<p>Have you gotten a chance to visit any of these schools, or will you before deposits are due? (i.e. come to the Chicago overnights next weekend or next next weekend! they’re lots of fun, great way to meet people, and you get to walk around the quads for a couple days just chillin’) Those would be more revealing about ‘fit’ or culture than anything we can describe.</p>
<p>Also, I ran into someone who said that this ([YouTube</a> - Scav 2010 Item 230: Archaeological Datasets](<a href=“Scav 2010 Item 230: Archaeological Datasets - YouTube”>Scav 2010 Item 230: Archaeological Datasets - YouTube)) was what made them want to come to Chicago, so you can see it as a microcosm of our slightly nerdy yet extremely epic campus culture. :)</p>
<p>Cornell and Rice are about the same price (16-17k) while U of Chicago is 29k…</p>
<p>omg that I cannot stop laughing from that video!!! well done!!</p>
