An adviser tells me that her department does not allow simultaneous degrees..

<p>The Chem 4B (lab) GSI? Not me. Don’t freak her out, haha. </p>

<h2>I am the only female UGSI. There are four total UGSIs in CoC – two for the Chem 4 series, two for the Chem 112 series. We lead the Chem Scholars discussion sections. </h2>

<p>I was thrown off guard when the advisor straight-up said “It’s impossible.” Did not see that coming, and she sounded so absolute…
I might go to a general L&S advisor just to see if there are majors that do not allow external students to declare simultaneous degrees. If I were really stubborn, I’m guessing I could drop out of ChemE, declare ORMS, then add ChemE again. Fun.</p>
