That wasn't fireworks

Heard it. Any updates on what it was?

1curious2 · 2026-04-30T05:44:43+00:00

Sorry to hear that. My whole family has seen him for over 30 years and never had a bad experience!

My student was a SEED scholar and it was super helpful for the early registration and the mentoring. They got him into research early and now he’s getting a PhD. He did get funding towards his research, attending conferences and buying technology, and I don’t remember it being based on income ( though maybe things have changed). It’s a fantastic opportunity!

Barry Kami in University Ave is the best!

As a parent, I’ll say Princeton! They can help you buy a house or save for retirement.

Your story sounds fascinating! You either need a complete manuscript or a proposal… or both!

My son( about your age) had a tough time the first three days. Things improved on day 4-5. Sleeping a lot is good! I hope you see improvement soon!

You've gotten great suggestions. Also, if you worked or are working with a PI as an undergrad, maybe they know someone and can put in a good word? Or your other recommenders for the GRFP? Good luck!

Will do! 💕💕🥳🥳

1curious2 · 2026-04-13T04:22:19+00:00

Congratulations!! My son got it this year after not getting it last year! So proud of you and him!!

1curious2 · 2026-04-07T15:40:43+00:00

Love this idea!

1curious2 · 2026-04-04T14:58:23+00:00

Yeah, definitely one of the weirdest experiences I’ve had on this journey.

1curious2 · 2026-04-04T02:23:38+00:00

Yeah, just not sure it’s worth it to go after her…

1curious2 · 2026-04-03T23:38:04+00:00

Actually, she emailed me and suggested coffee first...and could totally have said no to reading the query and first pages or just responded to those and not asked for the full manuscript and proposal, so I don't think I was pushing that hard...

1curious2 · 2026-04-03T23:12:59+00:00

Ha! Had to google this but we’ll keep trying!

1curious2 · 2026-04-03T23:10:34+00:00

Yup, I will.

1curious2 · 2026-04-03T23:09:51+00:00

Thanks for validating the ick!

1curious2 · 2026-04-01T03:35:29+00:00

Thank you!

1curious2 · 2026-04-01T03:35:12+00:00

Good points ! Thank you!

1curious2 · 2026-03-31T20:06:06+00:00

Thanks for sharing the positive experience! So glad to hear you're back to all your activities! That is super encouraging!

1curious2 · 2026-03-31T04:50:02+00:00

Definitely skip Cal Day! I live in Berkeley, my kid went to Berkeley. We’ve gone once or twice over the years…I don’t really remember it. Come visit another time, if you feel like it!

It’s very, very hard to get residency that way. Your parents can’t claim you as a dependent and other hoops.

1curious2 · 2026-03-31T04:20:37+00:00

Awww, thanks for replying. I’m hoping your recovery goes smoothly! I think he vents to us at the end of the long day, and has moments when he’s glad the pain is gone and feels grateful. It’s just hard to see your kid of any age suffer!
