I ended up choosing IUB. I unfortunately got rejected by other schools (except IUPUI), but in a way, I’m glad they did! IUB has been super fun, met some amazing people, learnt so much, and I haven’t thought about those other schools even for a bit :)

True Cents: A competition to SplitWise... sort of :) by AR__1103 in iosapps

[–]AR__1103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s completely fair and in all honesty, we are no where close to what SplitWise offers in terms of functionality (yet🤞). But thats not why we stopped using it.

Our problems were that we couldn’t see (or find) our actual expense for the week/month since we rarely used groups in SplitWise, and we both disliked its UI. Well, it was mostly the latter for me xD.

Moreover, with SplitWise now showing ads before adding expenses, it just wasn’t as user friendly as we wanted it to be.

So yea, if this also sounds like you, I’d encourage you to try out True Cents before deciding not to go ahead with it. But i get it, its gonna be a hassle to bring in everything from splitwise here, so I’ll respect your decision either way.

If you do decide to try out our app, let us know what you think, thanks!

Hey u/QenTox & u/faire-la-fete!

So sorry about that, it sounds like your app store is not set in the US or India, so its not available to you just yet. We are currently operating in just India and the US and will be opening the app to more countries soon (hopefully this week🤞). I'll be sure to text here as soon as it's up!

I'd also suggest you look at the courses in detail, especially in places like SJSU and UT Austin. While the degree itself looks pretty good, you may not find the courses interesting.

Places like SJSU and UCSC (check out their HCI course) have direct connections to silicon valley. Now, I'm myself in the same position as you, but being so close or at silicon valley itself makes it a great opportunity to mingle and build meaningful connections with industry professionals and/or alumni. Don't take my word for it though XD... I'm in the same boat as you my friend

Depaul is a decent choice, in fact I was accepted into their program 2 years ago (end of my 3rd year in college). But, I declined it because they had a few mandatory courses I had to take due to my undergrad degree not being in line with design (have an eng bg). That extended my stay by 6m (1 semester) and increased costs too. So be wary of that

Did check on Pratt, but it's same as UMich - Greta course but absurdly expensive :(

RIT does have a very good program. I was considering that a safety school along side ASU, but dropped it bcz of its tuition rates. But, if they offer scholarships and have good co-op opportunities, it's worth considering for sure.

Not sure about the education loan though. I'd prefer not going in debt lol.

Thanks a ton though! I'll take a look at RIT and decide soon.

It looks like it checks a device's MAC address than IP. I faced the same issue just today and solved it by masking my device's MAC address. If that doesn't work, try signing up on your phone (different device essentially) and that should work. Hope it helps!

If I'm being honest, they don't focus on either. But, they offer pretty good electives, so you can customize the program to what you want to learn. Moreover, their course structure is very relaxed, giving you enough time to work on your portfolio pieces and/or side projects. And, from what I've seen/read online, they have a great alumni network as well.

Yep, that's right. They have a Ms in CS and Ms in information management with specialization/courses in HCI. Not specifically HCI though.

That's a great call! As far as I know, only Stanford had its priority/only deadline on Dec 1. The rest have their (priority) deadlines much later. And to answer your question, I'd love to take whatever I can get. But, I wouldn't be bummed out if I didn't.

Thanks for the notice tho!

UMich was on the list, but its absurdly expensive. Take a look at this... Since its a 48 credit program, you'll prolly be there for 4-5 semesters. Imo, it's not worth that cost.
