I would like to know if there are any fellow deaf asexuals on this forum. (Asexuals are people who are not capable of experiencing sexual attraction and therefore don't have the desire to have sex.) As an asexual, I'm capable of experiencing romantic/emotional attraction. I hope to find a...

Thanks, Cheri!

Thanks. You must be proud of being a Berkeley alumna! :) Yes, Randy is still working at DSP. I have talked to him a few times.

I might request extended time for exams since I'm a slow/not very good reader. I'm legally blind in one eye. I requested it a few times at UC Davis. It really helped me ease my anxiety. I would provide the disability office the copies of my audiogram and eye prescription and statement from...

Thanks! I've been accepted to Berkeley with a five-year fellowship. I was really excited and told almost everyone I know. :) Congrats on getting into UCLA and Berkeley! You definitely should consider majoring in biology. I fell in love with it when I took biochemistry and cell biology in...

I can't read too well neither. :Oops: I have severe lazy eye and might have dyslexia. Hopefully, they won't prevent me from pursuing my dream of becoming a scientist.

Thanks :) Sounds like you love science too. I don't like animals work neither. I worked with mice, dogs and rabbits before. I killed thousands of mice with CO2 and chloroform and stuck needles into hearts to draw all the blood out when they were still alive.

So you're doing consulting work, do you handle phone calls? Your career goal is really awesome! What motivated you to make such decision? I've never been a business or money-type person. I have enthusiasm and an appreciation for nature. :) I haven't decided what specific research I...

Thank you. Admittedly, I never took a microbiology class. I have a degree in molecular biology and biochemistry. Congratulations on your graduation! Are you working now?

Thank you, Endymion. I've always dreamed of attending Berkeley. Wow, you are applying to Stanford and Berkeley! Good Luck! I'm sure you will get in. What are you doing these days? I want to be an academic research scientist at a university. I don't want to work at a company because of...

I just got an invitation for interview from UC Berkeley today! The interview event is on February 2-5. I'm applying to the PhD program in Microbiology. Anyone else applying to colleges/universities for Fall 2006?

Can't take the test because I'm asexual. I have never had a sex drive or sexual desire (I'm 26).

I learned English as a second language...probably why my verbal score is so poor. Here are some GRE words: petulance, perhelion, polemic, intramural, archipelago. :) I hope they will overlook my GRE, since my other areas are pretty strong.

Anyone think standardized tests complete bullsh*t? Has anyone seen some of the words on the GRE Verbal section? they are really ridiculous. I did horrible on my General GRE that I took almost 4 years ago, yet had high GPAs. Unfortunately I can't retake this test this year because I have...

It's on Oct. 29th. I'll be there. anyone else going?
